Was tough not touching the ball for the opening ten, but once we got it we've been really ugly in what they refer to as good ball.

Catalans look awright in fairness, but we look like a team that could do with another halfback.

owt good on telly tonight ?

Didn't you once find a dead body in your swimming pool?

Awright at the back?!

You can tell you're getting old when your work colleagues greet the news that Paul Daniels has died with 'who?'

Anyway, rugby - battered.

Has such a dreadful collapse in form (I'm talking about 2016 so far, not just tonight) ever been greeted with such equanimity by a group fans?

Maybe Chester going so soon drew the poison. It's 0-28 at half-time and not even slightly distraught. Not in a sulking, stuff it way, even. Creeping normalcy - dangerous.

Sick to death with this rovers team. Fucking embarrassing!

The thing is, you can see they're trying. And there's the injuries and a few of them are young. But basically, we're just woefully short of quality.

The only consolation is that it might focus minds on what has happened over the last 4 years or so, and we all might learn some lessons.

At the same time that some teams have really progressed since last season (catalans, salford etc) we've gone backwards. If that game was played for another 80 minutes I don't honestly think we'd score a try.

Our attack in particular was so easy for Catalans to defend, there was no real impact to what we were trying to do. The effort was there from the players - can't fault that for a second but with the injuries etc our squad is carrying, this side we're putting out is just not good enough for us to be a Super League team

I wish I could be glass half full like you. But we are crap!!! Not a single scrap of evidence that we give one. Roll on next season...if we are in superleague of course!

Trying isn't good enough.

I once "tried" to pull Linda Vaginablista, obviously I did but that slightly obfuscates my point.

How have we allowed ourselves to get into this position?

I do not understand why, after ten years that our sole objective appears to be surviving the Rubbish Eights.

Well, I think I finally do. Hudgell and Crossland are great, we all know we would probably be a Blackpool Borough if it wasn't for them, but this is far as they can take us, and that is absolutely not a criticism. We would be dead withought them and I fundamentally do not want them to go. Let me state that. There is no Abramovich or Dubai connection out there for us, for now we've just got to suck it up.

Scrapping along is as good as it's going to get.

You sound like a Hull fan this was coming to be honest we've played Hull,Wigan and Leeds in 7 days with no squad rotation playing a very good side in catalans tonight so get over it

Is that the same improving Salford that we put 40 past and Wakey beat last week

Judge them over the 10 matches they have played and not just the 2 that help your argument.

Hammered at Hull also scoreline flattered them

That comment is insulting!!!!! I used to like your quote's FTF. But that is (to me). Fluffing disgusting. Why don't you get on the treatment bed and give them a few more excuses that they already have.
Maybe you're the few happy with bull performances, like tonight.....shame. Thought you one of the better ones on here.

They're still a better side this season then HKR are, or at least, 10/11 games into it

He is, let's not fall out amongst ourselves.

We're all cross and frustrated.

We can disagree but still be united.

I think most salient members of this board expected a season that's going like this, but we're all unfortunate sufferers of MGS, so deluded ourselves into thinking it would be better than we knew it would be.

Maybe but if your talking about improving teams I would have said Cats and Widnes rather than Salford

The people I feel for is our marketing department. I'd say the chances of growing our season passes on this season are virtually slim.
But let's not be down hearted, it's what we are used to. So let's all plough all our money into a crap venture that we're all used to. Pissed off doesn't even come close!

Chill out it was only a joke and I wasn't making excuses I was giving my opinion like I said I think we just hit the wall tonight after three games against top sides in 7 days with no squad rotation

This is the thing though that goes with supporting a team you know no matter what you'll be there next week and next season however peed off you feel now

Couldn't agree more - effort by itself isn't enough. Tonight was a perfect example. You need strength, depth and quality, and we're short across the board this year.

There's been some good moments over the last few years, but against a generally downward trend. Camel's back has snapped this year, and we've gone from gradual decline into rapid descent. Webbo's doing a decent firefighting job with a thimble full of water.

Hudgell and Crossland have been and remain crucial to Hull KR, but the last few years there's not been the same clear vision there was up to 2010 or so, IMO. Or maybe it just has to be run on tighter budget, which is absolutely fair enough, but I still think that it could be done better than it has been.

To be fair Salford had, but they now know they'll be in the 'middle 8's' due to their pending points deduction, I'm amazed with Catalans away form so far, they could only win 1 game a season previously. VERY strange Super League this season (so far).

And all I'll say is excuses, excuses, excuses!!
Everyone has the same to deal with. Ffs, Catalans had to travel to ours on a Thursday night, and we put up a Piss poor performance like that?!
I hate to say it, but some Rovers fans would be happy with any performance. Tonight was unacceptable!

That's a big thing for me, I really don't think the same amount of investment has been made in the first team squad compared to previous seasons and we have definitely dropped off the pace compared to everyone else. You can't fault Hudgell et al but perhaps there really is a sense that they can't take the club any further?

Can't remember saying I was happy with it I'm just not delusional
