It really was a game of 2 contrasting styles, with each team playing to their strengths.
Rovers imo played well and made the game a real arm wrestle, based on your last 2 performances I wouldn't say you are favourites for relegation.
It was until the final quarter our superior strength and size began to tell.
Good luck for the rest of the season.
That seems a fair assessment, from a poster that has steered away from the "my dads bigger than your dad"mantra.
I just wish that one day in the near future that we(Rovers)for once, before I get too old, to could actually have our first choice team on the field and see what happens. No Garbutt,Parcell,Abdull,Haurakui,no replacement for Mose(massive massive miss)and I cannot remember the last time we fielded a full strength team...who can, and when?
Yes, FC had players missing, but we don,t have the squad size to always adequately cover our missing first choices players with the same quality.
That said, well done FC(Hate to say that)but it could have been different, but unfortunately was,nt..dammit!
Just hope the absentees are fit again soon, and we can get a couple of quality additions.
So far, I like what I see, but it,s all about winning and accruing points....that,s all that really matters for us.
