Injuries are beginning to hit us hard in the back division as well as the forwards,my attempt at selecting a 17 is:
Dixon
Sio
Horne
Welham
Cockayne
Campese
Kelly
Walker
Lunt
Burke
Larroyer
Blair
Mc Carthy

Green
Tilse
Boudebza
Donaldson

Good to see Lunt back French John played well but we need Lunt

Dear me this is an abysmal start

Have rovers players been kidnapped?

Who's playing 'stand off' tonight for Rovers, is he a local builder ?

Total disgrace, clearly we have no players who have any pride.

Bit harsh Stan I know it was a hammering but it could of been a lot worse

True. We could have gone for 76 in a play off game.

Wigan are not the best team in the league so what is it with then and us they are the only team that seem to hammer us regularly were is the players pride

It was disappointing, but given the squad announced and the squad which took the field, it was never going to be easy. Not the ideal match to have esslemont, ollet, guzdek and Robinson playing together for the first time in the first team but they held their own, and yes there were too many errors yet again but the spirit is there and as long as they keep that spirit, I think we will be ok.

Did I watch a SL game at the DW just now or a horror movie?

That performance just redefined the word sh** despite the weakened side and the late withdrawals. Never looked like scoring, never looked like stopping them from scoring.

Think we will be in 11th place after Sunday as I fancy Widnes to beat Warrington on their plastic pitch.

Our season starts in earnest from this point forward.

I think we gave tonight away so we could put a stronger side out against Wakey.

Wouldn't be the first time we've given it away against Wigan would it?

Guaranteed contracts, that's what I blame.

Utter garbage tonight. It's a squad game. And every squad player should be good enough at super league level. Our squad isn't.
Feel for the travelling supporters tonight, wonder how many would of gone knowing the team.

It's on the grass at Warrington.

I don't know, 23?

Hurrah, 10th then

Sorry RR, but I didn't see much resembling Spirit out there. If Spirit in your book equates to humiliation and capitulation and dropped heads and half d attempts at the fundamentals of the game, then I will happily agree with you.

Bottom line, they felt sorry for themselves, our chins were on the deck after 10, heads dropped and they were out fought for the entire 80 and in front of the TV cameras too. Chester was honest in defeat at least.

I'd be happy to see if anyone else thinks we showed spirit tonight.

My mistake. Good news we will still be in 10th.

Things are looking up.

And more than likely, back in the top 8 on Thursday. The league is tighter than a nun's crutch.

If we play like that and we have more injuries between now and Thurs, you can possibly imagine the unthinkable and Wakey doing a number on us.

Unlikely lines on the Super League Show. No. 23....

You've got to be happy that Roversmad fell short of libelling nun's and their reputation for chastity. I was looking to make a Cliff Richard joke or reference and then we would have been F**k*d. The future for this forum is assured for now.

Fair comment Pickering Red, I just don't want us to drop into a dour blame fest culture like certain posters from across the way, we were poor and deserved what we got.

Im blaming someone. Willie Poo ching, I thought he was meant to be the defence coach? Last night was another night were it looked like we'd not hit a tackle bag in anger all week.
