shrek and fitzy are top class and well sean long is the missing link although I must admit a world class coach at the helm may still be needed as agar doesnt have a clue im just praying that long can coach the team as well as run it on the pitch

The game was won by Rovers kicking game yesterday. We don't have one. Sean Long, if stays fit will bring that and out pack will be far more aggressive next year. I am up beat about next year.
I still think its funny tho cos we are very poor and we nearly sneaked a win yesterday. We were by far the better team and Josh easy had Fozzard in the fight! And Houghton easy had Fisher in the same fight.

And at that point your level of intelligence shined through, well done.

Yeah true, but I am right

"Turned the corner" normally wins if you havent won many during season suddenly win 3 or 4 on the bounce not playing well for 70 minutes.

If we win next week ( which i cant see as Huddersfield are the form side ) and against Catalans i agree we will have turned the corner but we havent yet, although yesterdays second half performance was promising

Quite.

Huddersfield are a far better team than Rovers so if we can give them as good a game on Friday I will be pleased.

Correct, Friday will be a sterner test for us.

Just shows how low we have sunk HOPING to give Huddersfield a game.2years ago we'd have been discussing how many points we'd beat them by

Lets not give Huddersfield any credit though eh?

I do give Huddersefield credit for bringing in a decent coach and getting rid of Sharp.The only problem is our dumb board decided on taking him on.

They have made great strides. They appointed an excellent coach and made some very astute sigings, not to mention bringing in some promising youngsters.

Huddersfield have gone past not just us but most of the league too.

Nah not at all.

We are still a trillion miles away from were we need to be.

really do you do finish with 5 wins, then everything will be rosie and agar may be offered another season. (PRAY)

He's already signed for next season.

Still got alot to improve without doubt but that performance was a step in the right direction. We asked for pride in a derby and a bit of tactical nous and got both I thought. A dreadful start, that pass and a few 50/50s went against us. We should have won the game playing some attractive attacking rugby.

However if the Giants come to the KC and put a big score on us and we slip back into our 5 drives and poor kick then I agree.

Spot on.

With the rub of the green and playing like we did on Saturday we can beat the Giants, especially if we have further bodies back.

There are two reasons why I dont think we have turned the corner:

1) For 75 minutes we were the better team. Playing better rugby, looking more committed, more passionate and more enthusiastic than our opponents. Yet we still could not win. Rovers were poor on Saturday and with our performance we should have spanked them. Our gameplan is still very poor and the only reason we got trys imo was because we didnt stay within the structure, looked too unorganised and it nearly worked for us. With it not been such an inspiring game next week I cant see the same thing.

2) Saturdays game was similar to the second half of the derby game at the KC, just without the better style of rugby. Yet 2 days later we got tonked at Saints then lost at home to Wakey, followed by an uninspiring win at Salford. We beat Cas with an inconsistant display but then started to produce some of the worst rugby I've seen in my 8 seasons as a supporter.

It's going to take alot more than 75 minutes of a derby game to convince me that things are getting better

Absolutely not!

I notice your 10/10 awards go to players that Agar would/did not play given less injuries.

Can't see why no-one is mentioning Briscoes injury either. With him out so early in the game we should have stuffed them - still not good enough for me.

I'm sorry but you are an IDIOT

I'm still shaking my head at the brain dead numpties who waved him off as he was helped from the field on Saturday.

Do want to explain why?

I can only assume that from that distance they didn't know it was Briscoe? Shouldn't really be doing it to any player (well maybe Cooke) but I'd be surprised if people knew it was Briscoe and still did it?

You are joking right?
