Interesting stats in the League Express this week.

Rovers worst team in league for metres gained and offloads.
2nd worst in league for tackle busts and 3rd worst for missed tackles.
Too add to that we're 3rd for penalties conceded and 3rd worst for handling errors.

Cant for the life of me think why we are where we are.

This weekend could be sixty each going on the standard of Bradford's defending yesterday.

Or it could be a nil nil draw with both teams dropping the majority of passes and throwing the rest straight into touch.

A high quality game it will not be.

not really a suprise at all

but remember where we've come from

We're 2nd bottom of the league taking deductions away, wheres the shock in those stats.

There was a silent wink.

Hull KR 40
Wire 36

A Wakey fan who I was talking to on a site in Ponty commented that if our current crop could play in the same attacking style as the side who did Wire over, we would be in the top 4 without a doubt.

Do you chant that whilst patting your head and rubbing your stomach?

Byron Ford would walk off in a strop this season.

Its been a long day..

Fatty, sorry, I mean Michael Smith would throw his burger down in disgust.

Now theres a man who could offload a ball!! Biggest waste of talent!!

This is no shock to me.
The first 2 is clearly how JM wants us to play, The problems arise when we have the next 2 lines added to that as we then have no 'B' plan.

I can kind of understand having a low risk game plan that doesn't involve off loading at every opportunity, but surely that plan cannot include not making any metres. Are we solely relying on penalties and 40/20's to get us up the pitck?

Sweet baby Jesus and the orphans, we're rubbish.

Stop been polite were a total heap of cr@p and we need to play open expansive rugby its depressing cos we know how we can play and if that's morgans game plans he really needs to ave a few words with himself and bloody quick

at last the whole lack of go forward and offloading is apparent.whether anything gets done about it is another matter. its a running joke with my mob that anyone who offloads will be droppped or loaned out so something has to be done

Not sure what your point is really, you finished 4th, then slipped to 7th, and will have to improve quickly to make the 8th this season, you appear to be going backwards.

sorry, I was writing in irony mode.

I got it. You should do it more often, you're quite good at it, people who need to resort to the use of emoticons are dunces. <Do not insert "wink" here>

Is it just me? the season still has a long way to go - yes we have been very poor at times and we haven't always had the bounce of the ball or the benefit of some of the 50/50 calls from the ref. But the season is not over yet! Surely we can't be as bad in the 2nd half of the season as we have been at the start!!

We can still make the 8!! and yes we will miss out on the top 4 we all thought we could achieve at the begining of the season, but we are not written off yet!.

We are still in the cup and we have a winable game on Sunday - who knows maybe all we need is a little momentum!

You could be right, although I find posters who use the boards to practice their poor attempts at comedy bigger dunces.

God yes!!!



Afternoon Justin

I find you hilarious with or without emocions.

Oh, bb, and we used to be such pals until I showed you up for the foolish knee jerker you are.

Would you like me to do it again?

Poor attempt at comedy that!
