Loving it...Absolutely loving it..

4th is 3rd placed loser mate. As we've found out many times in the past there's only 1 game that matters at the end of the season and you won't be in it

Morgan said at the start of the season they expect to be at Old Trafford, though.

Spoilsport. We won't know until we revert to 5 drives and a kick whether this is a turning point, so I'm going to have an optimistic week until 8pm Friday. "Choose your attitude" as the management bollox training courses say.

After running in 30 points against Leeds I thought we might have turned a bit of a corner but then it was same old, same old the following week against Cas so I guess we'll see next weekend.
The most frustrating thing for me is that they looked a half decent team last night when they all actually pull together, play as a team and show some enthusiasm. So why can't they do that every week?

FFS, it dont take much to get you lot talking absolute tosh does it?!

OMG, come on, you raised your game to an above the norm level for 40 mins and all of a sudden you are great again.

You seriously need to revisit some of your more recent threads and see just how poor you all know you are!

Im sorry I can take comments about somethings but fabrication of points to make you feel better are ridiculous!

The better team won on the day, yes you gave us a game, yes you played better than you have for a while, however dont start kidding yourselves about how good you have now become,you are a poor side, have been most of the season, its drivvle like this that makes it hard for anyone to feel any sort of sympathy for you.



The better side won, you just got excited because you played a little better than of late

Form is judged over a season, not current form, and besides on current form we are TOP of the table,played one won one, were as you......well, not much change there

No, you still lost.

we haven't turned any corners or made any progress until the team start turning up and playing for the full 80mins every week

Yesterday we played for about 75mins after a shakey start...but it was a commited display.

we need to back that up with similar, and not the usual 60mins of doing nothing, losing the game then staging a comeback in the last 20 when the games gone.

shut up you half-wit, all you've done in the last 10 games is beaten 3 of the 4 bottom teams, your form is rubbish and you WILL be shown up in the play offs.

Aww didums, hurry along mums got her titty out

your mam?? Again???

If anyone thinks that we have "turned a corner" they are dillusional !!

We have, for the first time in a long long time, played with effort and spirit only to be totally ripped off by a ref's decision which was incredibily poor.

In reality though, we have lost to a very poor rovers team because we were not good enough to put them away. A half decent team would have stuffed that overated pile of $hite yesterday but we managed to lose it somehow.

Silverwood was a total clown but apart from an unusual and unexpected effort, we weren't that much better.

Hull were decent, rovers were ordinary and Silverwood was shocking !!

I don't see a great deal to be encouraged about. Can't fault the lads' effort at all but it was two poor sides out there yesterday (Rovers have shown in other games they are capable of far better than that). Yes on another day we could have won if it weren't for poor refereeing but I saw nothing to suggest that while Agar is in charge the future is anything but bleak.

Our trys came from off-the-cuff moves or individual efforts rather than structured plays (because we have none), our attacking play lacked crispness and incision and was riddled with basic errors (symptomatic of the poor coaching the players have recieved throughout the season IMO). To top it off the man who our coach announced he had made no special plans to neutralise scored two trys and set up another.

After the Leeds game I managed to make myself believe we might of turned the corner but it seems to me now all that is happening is that once we go behind the players abandon whatever Agar has told them to do and start throwing the ball around because they've got nothing to lose, to me this demonstrates that Agar is stifling what talent there is in the squad.

Hence the ? in the thread title - not a statement just a possibility. In the extremely unlikely scenario that we beat 3rd placed Huddersfield on Friday we might then say this game was a turning point. In the more likely scenario we revert to a half-@rsed 5 drives, hands on hips performance and get a good hiding, then yesterday was obviously a blip. Thing is you can't say with certainty.

Granted, It was a better performance than of late but I dont think Hudds will be cacking themselves either on our performance yesterday. Any decent side would have racked up 30 before half time.

We are a poor side that actually managed a decent effort yesterday but that doesn't change a great deal. A decent side would have comfortably won that game last night. Rovers are a very ordinary side punching way above it's weight and that must be down to Morgan's coaching. For me they're nothing more than a mid-table side pretending to be "top two" contenders and yet we have somehow managed to lose to them yet again.


However it was a fantastic effort by Berrigan, Houghton, Burnett. Lee and both the Horne brothers to be in Sharkeys before 10 o'clock !! They didn't seem too bothered about yet another derby defeat !!

Gotta be in it to win it sweetheart

Sorry but I don't buy that as much as I wish it were the case, of the 13 that started for them yesterday at least 6 or 7 would walk straight into our side

He will be, as a pundit

I think some of our players played above themselves yesterday. Part of that is to do with the extra enthusiasm that some of the new players have brought in. ATEOTD some of our players are not good enough and cannot play at that level consistently. The return of injured players will help but really it's next year when we can hopefully introduce players whose performance level is consistently good with the ability to peak at the right time. I hope we continue to try and play the offload game for the rest of the season as this in some way makes up for our lack of structured organising halves.

Jog on fool...your comment that the better team won on the day says it all about you!

You struggled to beat a poor Hull side at home.....granted you've won the 2 derbies this year, good on ya...we'll wait and see what happens from here on in.

Breath of fresh air that performance. A desire to offload and spread the ball about, solid defence etc We looked like a decent team. I'd rate the players:
1. Tansey - 8/10 Early error but gave us loads of attacking options
2. Calderwood - 8/10 for pure enthusiasm
3. Whiting - 5/10 worst game ive seen him have for a long time
4. Hall - 10/10 Best game ive ever seen him have
5. Raynor- 8/10 looked back to his best
6. Horne R - 7/10 looked better
7. Berro - 6/10 not a scrum half
8. Cordoba - 7/10
9. Houghton - 7/10 shouldnt be starting
10. King - 7/10
11. Manu - 8/10 some class touches in the 2nd half
12. Tickle - 7/10
13. Radford - 7/10

14. Lee - 7/10
15. Moa - 10/10 awsome go forward
16. Burnett - 7/10
17. Horne G -6/10

Another one who believes that the players you have annonced as signing (I wont say have signed yet, we all know it dosent always happen) will make such a big difference that you will become world beaters overnight, it aint going to happen, the players you have signed are not that capable.Still if your putting all your eggs into one basket then who am i to judge?
I think you know deep down that you are a poor side, next year may well drive you to suicide.
