To me Champions are the team that ends up top of the league. But Rovers have topped it all with a Cup win and a Grand Final, something FC have never managed. Get ready for FC fans saying Rovers were lucky, it was the weakest league ever… Only Wigan and Leeds have achieved the treble before.
To be fair they have just interviewed the Wigan coach and he was magnanimous and fulsome in his praise of KR. As was their skipper.
People used say City would never get into the Premier League and getting to an Fa Cup final was never going to happen ! It did . We also got to the League Cup semi final and played in Europe . Unthinkable in the 90s
Rovers will never achieve it again . It's the pinnacle of their history . It will be difficult to hold onto players that may want another challenge now all has been achieved . Lewis might be a target for Australia clubs but generally backs don't do well there it's usually forwards that have a bigger impact .
Yes but if money comes calling it's hard to turn down . Haaland has a ten year contract at Man City but if somebody comes calling with mind numbing money it will be hard to turn down .
Well, they have done it. And Rovers fans will be able to tell FC fans every season even if FC win 2 trophies that they have not matched it.
It's clear that the Grand Final is by far the pinnacle of RL . It used to be The CC thst was the big one . the CHALLENGE cup needs taking away from Wembley as getting ,60,000 into the stadium is a challenge .

Although I bleed black & amber, my rugby team, growing up a stones throw from the Boulevard, will always be the Black & Whites, however Rovers have clearly been superb all season and I was very happy to have had this Saturday off so I was able to watch a magnificent performance. Well done Rovers, you truly deserve all the plaudits!
Congratulations to HKR. A great performance and win. Not watched a rugby league game for over 40 years but thought I'd pop in and watch this one.
