Time has come for change, I have called this from day one lack of signings and a poor small squad only one way we are heading. Time for the wizard to get on his broomstick and p*ss off to hog warts enough is enough

Are you for real Tim sheens was task with a very hard job getting a team back up out the championship which he’s done and if we had a full fit squad we would be in the top 8 where only 4 points 2 wins off the 8 and with all the injuries and the bad start that could be worse not to mention we have had a lot of top 4 teams lately sheens will keep us up no doubt

If everyone in the comp had a fully fit squad you would be in the bottom 4 as you are.

sheens has had a glittering coaching career but with the money on offer in Oz you have to ask why he's plying his trade in east hull

No are you for real? We are rock bottom. Wake up

Yet another reactionist. I was doubting Tim a little after the Wakey game. However yesterday we played well but were simply beaten by the better side.

Put it another way. If the crossbar try hadn't fallen so nicely for Hull and Shaw hadn't spurned a chance in the first half it would have been a draw.

Sheens is playing the long game. The youngsters look good but need time. Injuries are decimating us. Without Sheens experience would we have signed the shining star that is Atkin or managed to sign Carney?

Patience (and a bit of luck).

Whoa - That is incredible.



We were quite bad but thank goodness we played you lot. Any other side inc Toronto and Toulose would have beaten us. To think you played well is incredible. I genuinely laughed out loud.

Tim Sheens had the right tactic to pass the ball wide on tackle 2-4. You made a lot of metres like that.We are that bad we don't even learn from that.

Your win at Giants was amazing earlier in the season but you're a long way off that performance again.

We have some good players but we have a crap pack to put it mildly and we made a big mistake signing has been sit has not worked we should have bit the bullet and signed young ones not plays past their best the young ones we have if we stay up will come good with Tim’s coaching

I don't think you played badly you played to your strengths and we played the way we only could by going out wide but in the end you just bulldozed us down the middle

Dont be daft. That performance we put in yesterday wouldnt have beaten the top sides but would have seen off the current bottom 5 and certainly wouldnt have been troubled by Toulouse. I wouldnt quite stretch it as far as to say Rovers played well, but your post does both teams a big disservice.

We played a basic game. But basic doesnt equal poor. Taylor, Paea, Manu, Minichiello, Westerman are all international forwards and all played well. We completed over 90% for the first half. Rovers have some decent backs and good attacking shape and had a bit of success against a makeshift backline with an 18 year old on debut on one side and the conditiining coach on the other? Who ever saw that coming?

Just a couple of points name a coach that would come to us and do any better with the players available and remember what happened last time we sacked the coach mid season at the end of the day this year was all about surviving and when we have a full team out (hopefully) on the field come the middle 8s the championship teams don't worry me and as I've said before we have tried to sign some decent players but we're not an attractive option at the moment

Here we go again.Same nutter who texts sport talk pretending to be a kr fan

bit harsh about sheens imo, both teams where well down in numbers yesterday, if rovers can get there full team on the pitch you stay up, but where both dropping like flies atm,

I think it says it all that imo 2 of our better players in the forwards were lee and tickle,kavanagh hopeless,clarkson tries hard but only average,donaldson 100%but not big enough,scruton past his best,greenwood looked promising but has gone backwards other than the leeds game where he played centre and they would be in the team regardless of injuries.Why he wont push quinlan into the halves and put moss at full back I dont know,we need some pace in the halves.I know we have been desperately unlucky with injuries,but we have some highly promising backs who should be used in emergencys rather than putting forwards in the halves.As for sheens out,i dont think so,who else could do better ?

Not sure who you’d replace him with but it’s a results based business and at the moment, results are not on Tim’s side. Sometimes just the change in leadership can spark a change in the players. It’s known as the Hawthorne Effect.

change is needed and now, we are rock bottom and it is simply not good enough.

So you keep saying but you don't come up with any answers to questions put to you the last time we sacked a coach mid season we ended up relegated you just seem like a troll to me

as long as you go with him you dick

Call me a troll all you want you set of oddiments we are bottom of the league it is a results business so Sheens needs to go! But you would rather call a retired man a troll you do amuse me. Wake up and smell the coffee you fools.

Err.No! With 16 of a roster of 36 unavailable, that,s approx 45% missing. That is just ridiculous. I defy any coach, especially one coaching a team coming up from the Championship(which is what we are currently,unfortunately) to suddenly become a top 8 side.
Don,t forget, that when we played Wigan, Leeds, Saints at home the team were applauded off the pitch for having a really good go and the end results flattered the winners.
Yes it,s all about winning, but we are losing first choice players every match.
I hate losing, but we need some luck. Will we win any of the next 4, I don,t think so. Will I support my team, yes I will.
The backs are good, The pack very average, with one or two ok.
Are we good enough to stay up? with key players back, an aggressive attitude, and an ounce of good luck(for a change) or even two of those three, yes we are good enough and should be ok.
Time to back the team, and the coach.

to be fair think we should try to poach Radford now he has read Justin holbrooks "play like saints manual"and ditched his "barge over troubled water" how not to win a grand final with a big club,

So what was the difference with Chester when you had all of those injuries and a bad run of results?

Put simply he is/was responsible for our small mobile pack strategy,combined with a ridiculous pre season these were big factors among with a few others.He seems to have learnt lessons from his/our failure and built probably the biggest pack in the league.Decent back 5 and imo only a really good half back away from taking next step forward on league ladder.Looking back he was preferable to Webster but at the time it seemed the right call? Sheens is playing with a squad that needs freshening up(Not withstanding injuries)Reading tonight's HDM it seems he's finally realised this?

Sheens saw last year vs Wire that our pack was too small, it’s what every fan has seen for at least the last 3 years. He mentioned the need to recruit size post that match, so the requirement is not new to him.

The question should be, after the many well publicised recruitment failures “why can’t rovers sign decent players”? (cue the poor attempts at sarcasm from the dark spiders).

It’s clear funds are available but players don’t want to join the club so what is it that is stopping them?

Rovers are supposed to have a massive wedge left on the cap. You would think players agents are knocking down Hudgell's door to get them a contract. I don't buy the there's no one available line. With Sheens knowledge and contacts they must be plenty of fringe NRL players available who would excel in SL. Vaivai for example. Maybe funds aren't available after all.

Sheens knows what he's doing.
Chester can pick good players and a team. Unfortunately the players end up running the club.
