Well its been a very sad few days for rugby league i think!!

Mike Greggory - A wire and great Brittain Legend has sadly died after suffering from a long term disease, I've been very upset but im sure that warrington will do something in his memory!

He was Captain of both Warrington and Brittain and as well as this Brittains most capped player.

He managed to reach 8!! cup finals in his first 8 years with Warrington which again shows just how good he was!

If that wasn't enough he took on coaching roles with St Helens and went on to coach wigan.

It seems such a cruel way to die (he was bitten by an insect in Australia and turned into a debillitating illness!

He was 43 when he died and in my view still had a lot to offer this great game!

To sum up a great player, coach and great man and willl be a huge loss for rugby league!!

RIP Mike Greggory - Legend

Well Just over a week to go until the new season, you wont see many premadonas on the Rugby Field(well except sean long) (and maybe Earl Crabtree, but i wouldnt call him one to his face)



But anyway only 1 winner this year thats obviously the wire (warrington wolves) saints to go down.

Well thats what im hoping for anyways, as for if im right we shall see!

Cmon the wire!!

1st game of the new season is the round 4 game between Leeds and HKR due to Leeds being in the club championship.

Hope it's not a walk over but ultimately i think Leeds will win easy, but we shall see...

I really hope the Leeds team think they can just walk this cos if they do , they'll be in for a shock! I really hope we can play good attacking rugby !

COME ON ROVERS!!

That was a very tight game until the last 15 minutes or so and then leeds began to walk through you, Although the KR defence was as solid as it has been in a long time. Well played KR but unfortuantely.. the better team won in the end.

On friday Hull FC will be facing Warrington Wolves, That will be a tight game but hopefully FC will come away victorious.

COME ON FC!!!.

woooooooooooooooooooooooooooo great result, despite the ref and linos best attempts, we held our line brilliantly. Monaghan is an absolute geniuos at 1st glance, westwood solid as ever and matt kingy strong pwerful and fast.

Only down point was a few Hull fans fighting with the Wire (or vice versa) anyways there spending the night in the cells so... oh well

CMON THE WIREEEEEEEEEE!

What game were you watching? 'Despite the ref and linos best attempts' .... they give you every decision and as for Matt King - he was hardly impressive, most hit ups he did he got pushed back and Penny did the hard work for his try. Chris Bridge - you have to play on him cos he is awful at full - back (but to wire fans it wont matter cos he scored 2 tries).

Monaghan played well , but Westwood was your best player.

The game was dire though and a bad advert for rugby league, mainly due to Hull fc's mistakes - they were crap.

But don't get me started on Hull - god they were awful.

I'm so glad we have Jake Webster rather than King , much better acquisition.

haha...

Although we did lose and we did have 6-7 first team players out for that game i thought we put up a pretty good performance, Our defence was fairly strong and we looked promising on the attack, But take nothing away from warrington as you did put up a good display and you look like top 4 contenders this year.

32-20 to me doesn't say the full story, As it was alot tighter than that but you was just to good for us at the end of the day, Wait till you cometo the KC stadium ad play a fully match fit hull!! (hopefully full match fit) it will be a different story, And a better game.

SUN 29TH JUNE WARRINGTON WOLVES 3.15pm will be our game that one!.

Ah well will have to wait until next sunday to see if we can pull of a victory against harlequins RL.

COME ON FC!!

I'm sorry mate, But you would struggle with 6-7 first team players out injured, Wouldn't you?, You don't even need first team players to be injured for KR to struggle.. am i right?, We was awful but we put up a decent performance, I was happy with the result.

If i was the coach of both these teams, i'd be worried indeed. How poor was the quality from Hull Fc, i think the coach needs to tell Berrigan to catch the ball before he runs with it. Warrington should of finished ya off.

Back to more pressing matters , i don't want to talk about these 'all so rans' of teams called warrington and hull fc.

Huddersfield v Leeds - Hudds want to come 3rd this year, bit high expectation but nevertheless at least there aiming high unlike Cas - who are just bothered about getting their franchise!

Hull Kr v Saints - If Saints turn up anything below 100% commited then we have a chance. With Cayless and Sculthorpe out , you never know!

Wigan v Quins - already kicked off, come on Quins for obv. reasons.

Ste, you seem to have a 1 dimensional view of rugby, i hate saints but i can appreciate how much more better than us they are, it is clear to any neutral that Fc are better than KR.

You are going to struggle this year and both warrington and FC will finish above you.

And considering FC had 7 men out they did well

And there is no doubt we are stronger than last year and as big kingy says, you havent seen the best of us yet.

Also i think we are the most exciting team to watch in super league...
