If they is one shining light, I think Charles has serious potential.

I don't think so. They don't always tell us though.

He played and scored for the Reserves last week but there's no game this weekend.

Well we had Brown at 9 and Charles in the halves last week.

I wouldn't say that was the change in performance. I just thought we defended better and went forward with more purpous in the second half

Only for 15 minutes, score was 10-6 then Houghton came on at hooker.

Celebrate your win and ascendancy. Don't damn us with faint praise.

The City is yours for the foreseeable future. Revel in it as history shows it will not last forever.

Shows how poor we are, when Rovers fans can't be bothered to take the mick.

Ese'ese was a lot to handle in the 2nd half. He starting finding his feet. Pele also showed glimpses with a couple of big runs towards the end. Also Sao starting causing them a lot of problems in the 2nd half. Those lads need to keep that 2nd half performance up and not fall back into lazy, ill disciplined ways.

Shows how poor we are when I'm the one who's actually planning on doing the mick taking out of my Rovers mates.

I also read somewhere that they've not won a trophy since 1985.
