Reckon that’s the season done, as other have said we’re not realistically a top 6 side as is. Some work to be done.

I agree
cant see the point playing these two again
With Houghton back you would have to think there is a problem with Smith/Balmforth if he is not recalled from Newcastle to finish the season and see what he can do in S/L

Neither is winning cups

Can't fault the effort today but too many errors and not enough size plus I've seen more cutting edge on my butter knife even before the loss of Trueman blunted it further.
My word Dwyer is frustrating to watch. Does something good then immediately undoes it with an error or a poor option.

Neither is winning a trophy in the last nearly 40 years but hey ho

I think we reached our level of performance with the players we had available , Can't knock the effort but it was just not good enough . Far to many errors , one on ones missed tackles , attacking play was just as poor as previous years , Poor completion . Even against a poor wire team , We looked second best . Season over .

Effort there again. But just not good enough.As others have said maybe blood 1 or 2 or the youngster's. In fairness our league position doesn't lie.

Hull have just posted an update on Twitter, they're fairly sure Trueman has ruptured his achilles

Disappointed that despite Dwyer being pretty abysmal and in full headless chicken mode Smith kept him out there for the full 80. His passing and distribution was shocking and whilst his tackling wasn’t too bad his overall performance I thought was shocking. I’ve never known a player do something pretty good then immediately cock it up.

Didn’t think we would win today but if we’d maybe had a little more size and taken a chance with Staveley & Balmforth and playing Gardiner earlier we could have made a better of game of it even despite the appalling Kendal.

Think we lost any chance once Trueman went down, hopefully it’s not too serious and not another knee injury for him or an Achilles.

Really didn’t get the 17 selected before the.game today and after watching the game still don’t get Smiths selection.

As for the officiating today jeez that was rank and hope the club request he never officiates here again.

Can’t fault the effort again but sadly games aren’t won on effort alone and today we just weren’t good enough and lacked any real threat and failed to put Warrington under any real pressure.

Smith just confirmed Trueman has ruptured his achilles

Terrible news .

That’s terrible news for Trueman, hope he manages to make a full and speedy recovery though he’ll likely be out for a large chunk of next season even if his recovery goes well.

I don’t think I’ve know so many Achilles injuries suffered by a team Cator x 2, Griffin, Carlos, McIntosh & now Trueman. Granted McIntosh was still a Huddersfield player at the time but he got his injury at the KC/KCOM/MKM.

With how we’re looking on and off the pitch, it’s only a matter of time until we do again. Very good times for the robins in the present time.

Think you had improved your squad a lot from last year but Tony still can’t get you near play offs. Pretty exciting with all your consistently stand out players jumping ship for next year as well.

Main thoughts tonight are with Jake Trueman. What terrible luck.

We were poor today, too many players out and too small a pack and bench. Thankfully these issues are being addressed.

Worst type of injury for me in RL, especially a ruptured achilles, having a family member who suffered the same injury playing rugby, the process of recovery and small slow frustrating steps of getting back to something is awful and you're never really completely the same.
Feel for the guy, one thing Smith is good at is being cautious and fully making sure the player is healed.

Gutted for the lad. Looked bad when he went down.

Gutted for Trueman, it’s been no coincidence our form turned with his return.

Ultimately not good enough today, granted it’s tough to adjust after losing a half, but I still felt we had enough to beat Wire today.

I can’t recall a more frustrating player in recent memory than Dwyer. He has moments and creates opportunities from nowhere only to either lose the ball or throw a terrible pass. He certainly highlights how vital Houghton has been for us this year, his steadiness will be a welcome return next week.

It was always going to be an outside chance, but we have 4 finals ahead of us now. Do we deserve play offs? Probably not, but we can’t afford another defeat should we want to reach them.

I don't think 4 wins would be enough. I can see two of Hull KR, Warrington and Salford getting to 28 points.

I’m all honesty the play offs were always going to be a tough ask given the 7 game losing streak at the early part of the season. Though today’s performance and result was disappointing we just weren’t a side that was going to be good enough. Think Smith has made massive inroads considering the limitations to change things player wise for this season.
You can’t expect to make the playoffs when you have a quota forward released and not replaced, have another quota spot not making the 17 unless injuries dictate, loose another quota player with a long term injury and then see our most consistent performer in the SR banned for 7 games and then released.

At least we have made a fist of the rest of the season and being in with a chance which is miles away from where we have been the past few seasons.

Thought Wire were poor today, which says a lot about us when we were second best. The pack had too many missing today to make any real inroads.

Dwyer was awful. A good dummy run once in a blue moon doesn't make a good hooker.

Think Litten needs a rest, he looks battered.

Gutted for Trueman. Id be seeing if we can get someone in like Hampshire as well as a 7. Trueman will be missing for 9 month.

Important we don't give up now and put in a performance against Leeds

Pretty sure this has been a reoccurring thing with rovers fans over the last 10 or so years, going to do this, going to do that. Its pretty predictable and until you can walk the walk you'll just continue being laughed at.

You cant keep throwing that out we have done sweet FA for the last six seasons

38 > 6

Well at least we've waited until 26th August to end our season, an improvement on most years since 2017!

Think today showed there are quite a few players in the squad that just aren't top6 material no matter how hard they try.

If Lane was an overseas or even out of town player he'd be getting slated, been rubbish for 18months now. I've still no idea what Lovodua is good at. Fash and Brown are too small and Dwyer has one trick.

The only positive was the effort was there and we didn't have one of our usual end of season heavy scores, but pressure will be on to start well next season.

That injury has really cocked us up for next season as i think we are struggling to find a replacement for Clifford and we have no halfbacks at the club ready for first team football.
Think they need to make a decision on McNamara as for me he is destined to be a Championship player.
Litten needs taking out of the team now as i agree he is battered.
I know he is only 20 but his link play is non existent and he and the club need to work on this because he doesnt have the raw speed to compensate in other areas.
Looking likely now that Hoy will move to halfback.
If we do just wonder if we should look at Jack Walker at full back before HKR extend his contract
