Seems to me your coach needs to start embracing the stats

Bugger me, another rovers chappy that we've not seen in the past month or so. What's the chances of them all getting a free night in their diaries allowing them to post on the site tonight. There must be some other external factor influencing this phenomenon.

Have you been to Lanzarote for a few days, by any chance?

wouldn't call a team without George, Ferguson, Gilmour, O'Donnell, Fa'aologo, Faiumu our strongest possible side !!!!

your coach had the luxury of resting them!

O Meley. Ocarroll, Moa. Martin, Horne, Westerman, heremaia green all missing for FC too

Fa'ologo played pal.

Fair point...O Meley, Ocarroll, Moa, Martin, Horne, Westerman, heremaia , we were far from our strongest

Rovers fans seem to be under the impression that we all thought we'd be in the Grand Final come October.
I don't know any FC fan that didn't just want to see a change in culture this year, with a play off place being the best we could hope for.
The fact that PG has us where we are, with an injury hit squad, just shows the coaching talent he possesses.
We haven't had a decent coach in 4 years (whilst the Dobbins have had Justin Morgan), so their fear is understandable. Now we have AP, SM & PG pulling the strings, we are only going one way.

Good game today,lets hope for the same on sunday we should have some of our first choice forwards back for sunday ,Odonell, Faiumu ,Gilmour,Lunt, Ferguson, and George will you guys have any returning players all those players were rested today.

Always wondered what that gypsy site in cottingham looked like

Moa might be back but might lose a couple more.

Jog on Martha ! Dont wanna open up old wounds for you !

Thought the penalty for offside on the 5th tackle that led to their opening try was decisive. In that set they looked lost, with players just trundling the ball in looking like they knew there was no way through, then childs decides to finally give a penalty for offside and they got their 2nd wind and there was no way back. Also came shortly after he called us back and gave us a penalty despite us scoring from an error from the winger

Sorry, i meant Fairbank.

the point i was making was some of your fans were saying it was our full strength side - it was far from our strongest side but we had enough to finish the job.
Thought your defence was outstanding today till we finally managed to crack it !!.

good support again and plenty of noise - not the biggest away following like Raaaaymond says it was (2300) but still a great turnout and good noise and banter ...see you all next week !!

Just seen the tries on SSN. Crabtree's try looked soft, 3 blokes couldn't stop his run. Houghton didn't look happy with Pitts' efforts to stop him. Could tell there was some very tired bodies out there towwards the end, a good rest this week can get us back on track.

So basically you cannot name these players we have fed to the mightly KR...

I am sure we will get another visit from you and the other little runts when we lose again...

It was virtually full strength and you'd also had the significant advantage of being able to rest players on Friday. Not to mention the easier game for those that did play.

I always expected us to lose under the circumstances as it would have been one of our harder fixtures even had things been more evenly balanced team-wise.

Let's be honest, we were missing 7 first choice 17 players, including 3 props, our interchange hooker and our stand off. We also played our assistant coach, 3 youngsters with barely a handful of SL games between them and a leeds fringe player who has only been with us a week. If we'd gone into that game last season 3 days after a derby and against the league leaders we'd have shipped 50 points and everyone would have shrugged their shoulders and accepted it.

There's no wonder we offered little in attack given those missing and the much tougher easter programme we had.

Personally I was extremely pleased with the effort yesterday. The defence was superb and with a full strength team I think we could have won the game. gentle is still working with what he was given and they are over performing IMO. Bodes very well for when we can get some better quality in the squad

Absolutely spot on

Very well said

Sums it up for me perfectly.

Expecting a different game on Sunday - couple of days rest for the players to recover then work on a game plan that will see us break down a well structured Huddersfield defence.

Hopefully Moa, Martin and Horne will be back so things can refresh a bit - and hopefully a big effort from the 18th man this week will see us through

How did Jamie Ellis go for you lot yesterday?

I can't see Horne being back tbh. And it would appear that Aspinwall and Sharp will also be out. That said I'm still confident we can beat them, we are mentally a lot tougher this year and expect us to bounce back.
