| Quote ="Mild Rover"You will be bit light on the bench, I admit. There's more quality but less quantity in your squad.
I'd say our current best 17 is as follows, although we have a good few at its edges who would be arguable.
Quinlan, Shaw, Heffernan, Vaivai, Carney J.
Carney T, McGuire
Mulhern, Lunt, Masoe
Blair, Tomkins
Kavanagh
Jewitt, Scruton, Greenwood, Atkin.
So we'll be missing about 9 of those. For a variety of reasons, I admit, and players like Tickle, Lee, Salter, Donaldson and Clarkson can do an adequate job covering. Crooks and Hall arriving means we won't be as reliant on neophyte three quarters in the 8s, but tonight they'll be playing in their way into a new team.
This is a contrast from 2016 when we ended up [irelying[/i on youngsters like Jubb, Moran and Marsh, and is something you seem to found on a smaller scale with a few injuries this year.'"
Not bad but I think Lawler and Addy make the 17. They've been out that long though you forget how good they were.

You can make a case for them certainly. However, I do think that for long-term absentees there can be a tendency for 'the less they play, the better they seem', especially in a struggling team.
It's the same with youngsters - they're often potential worldbeaters until they start getting game time. I can't help but feel that Litten's stock is on the rise versus former great hopes like Fash, Turgut, Logan et al., in part because they're being hit by SL players and Litten isn't. For example.

Lawler is far better than Greenwood and Kavanagh. Does more, more consistent.

| Quote ="Burtons Forearm"I know. If those BIG 5 had been available you'd have been world champions we all know.
Another day another PhD on the shark's injury crisis in the local paper. Get over it. You have had two good seasons and won cups because your 1,6,7 and 9 didn't miss a game with an injury for those two seasons.
Typical of your terrible sense of entitlement that when it goes wrong half your lot blow their dummies into orbit. Best thing I thought Radford did was address this but looks like it's not gone away.
We have our first choice 2,3,4,5,6,8,9,11,12,13, and 16 not available today 4 making their debut. Only Quinlan, Atkins, Blair and Mulhern would be in our starting 17 for sure. Maybe Jewitt, Scruton, on the bench. Yeaman was better prepared than all of ours when he played in the last derby. At least he knew the plays and defensive set up. It was worth him playing just to see him try and pass it again. That pass for the winger who had a walk in was priceless.
I miss the days when Newton made a mug of him each derby.
Derby just what you need after that wretched humiliation at Wakefield.
Your forwards will bully our ineffective back row. Sharks by 20-30.'"
I know you must find 7 consecutive Derby losses emasculating, but please man up. As for Yeaman being made a mug of, who is all time Derby top try scorer? And She Fell Over.

do all those consultation tries count?
That pass though...
Late news deadline day signings for Rovers. Gleeson and Long straight into the squad.
Sheens ' im glad to have these two pro's onboard. The whole squad should be well juiced for the derby'.

You're not seriously taking the high ground with regards to drug taking in sport?

If you're referring to Minns it is small potatoes compared to giving your squad performance enhancing supplements. You're CEO had to leave i re call.

Using stress or depression as an excuse hadn't been thought of back then.
It's a fairly recent thing to blame that for being stupid

| Brad Fash trying to make something out of nothing as Sneyd is playing garbage and only either attempting a drop off or a flat pass to Mini. They didn’t work the first time and havent worked the 58th time.

| Where are the structures in attack when close to the dobbins line. Describing th standard of this match as awful is being generous. Wakes getting stuffed 30-10 at Shudds tells you everything about last week

ill take over from Knocker here.
Coaching or lack of
Abdull is a waste of space,Sneyd just not getting involved.
Brainless team and a coach who knows nothing but 5 drives and a kick

| Appalling half, easily our worst at home, Rovers good value for the win.
So many simple errors and wrong options taken.
Going to be a long season I don't see us winning another game, 8th place finish and 10 defeats on the trot, brilliant.

We're not even managing 5 drives and a kick, too busy trying to pass it wide and the earliest opportunity and running into brick walls. I think Rovers can be broken up down the middle from the limited space we've created.
Abdul is not a 6. Talanao as much as i like , need to be replaced with a winger with pace. Minicchello is a running second row, we mainly just use him for driving the ball in.
Just because Kelly and Connor are missing is. I excus for the garbage on show tonight. A game style of physicality can only take you so far as shown by the demise of the Bradford Bulls. sadly Radford doesn't seem to have the skill to adapt, only plan A.

| Most annoying things for me and not just this game but pretty much all season. The pathetic one up rugby and slow passing out wide is just embarrassing for a professional team. We never seem to do anything more than the basics, there’s no second or third phase play.
And as for the wingers constantly running in to ‘help out’ is just shocking. Sick of teams beating us down the edges due to us allowing them so much space.

I agree with you Dave i cant see us winning another game this season
If that happens 10 on the trot isnt that a case to replace the coach?
