Unchanged team, a phrase not used for about 7 years!

Salter for Mulhern on bench is the only tweak.

Re: That London : Sun Feb 12, 2017 3:49 pm  

Going alright so far for potentially one of our hardest games of the season.

Surely Salter isn't going to play in the second row?

Re: That London : Sun Feb 12, 2017 3:57 pm  

Think the injury to Minns was touch and go so Salter is cover for centre and second row at a push ( but only a light push)

Is there some sort of ogre stood next the Blunderside commentary team?

Re: That London : Sun Feb 12, 2017 4:28 pm  

Starting the traditional Rovers melt down, Mr. Ogre's getting very excited.

Re: That London : Sun Feb 12, 2017 4:42 pm  

Two points, held on, good result. Mr. Ogre cross.

Re: That London : Sun Feb 12, 2017 4:45 pm  

Well, expected rovers to win today, but didn't expect it to be that close. Has to be said, and I hate to say. Poor game management!!

Anyways, the competitiveness of that game can only be good for us and will hopefully ensure that we don't become complacent, keeps the players feet firmly on the ground.

Re: That London : Sun Feb 12, 2017 4:46 pm  

Phew.

Big test passed, just.

Onwards to Spotland...

You may of underestimated us, we are a decent team at this level.


Congrats on the win though.

Never underestimated you. Rovers are taking this league very seriously, had we not reverted to silly game management, which of course has been problematic for us in the past, I think we win by 18-20 points. But we gave London a sniff and all credit to yous, grasped the opportunity with two hands, but in the end just wasn't enough.

I hope, and expect rovers to finish 1st, and London 2nd, to which I'll be glad of come the 8s, as I wouldn't want to go back to London come that time.
