Confidence is all to Hall. 40 mins at fullback will ruin him for half a season. Trust us, we know.

Briscoe? He never wanted to leave Hull. Pesky agents.

Wasn't he named MOTM a couple of games back ?

Is Hall's confidence like an illness and contagious? Because I feel Fox has got it bad right now.

Brisc - for me ever since he hurt his groan/thigh a while back he just hasn't been the same. Real shame - but Cockayne will get his chance now and we'll see if he's a better option after all.

Normally I'd say that we'll ship more tries with Charlie as the last line of defence as Brisc's reading of the game and positional sense is better. However over the last season I don't think Brisc has been his usual reliable self so those arguments no longer apply and he gives us nothing in attack.

Not the answer, Ben is not a good fullback IMO, he is perfect for a utility player.

Give Sheriff a go, we MUST start to blood the youngsters soon. If the rumours are true about Briscoe going to Widnes, Galea and Vella leaving then it time we got the likes of Sheriff, Taylor, Cox etc in the 17 to get them ready for 2012 as bringing in replavcement overseas players is not the answer.

You've broken him! I knew you would!

Is Sheriffe ready though?

It's a tough ask just to throw Sheriff in, when we do have someone like Ben to fill the hole. I'd be up for seeing how he does but if we're looking @ Brisc been out for quite a while, suddenly been thrust into the demands of SL week in week out, could have a detrimental effect.

Anyway I think we all know Morgan will probably opt for the tried and trusted option. (When Brisc was last injured I thought Ben looked a lot more assured tbh)
I think the only way we might see some of these youngsters is if this season peters out and we've just lost too much ground on the play offs. Otherwise I can't see them getting the chance over snr players in the run in.

Next month?

Think you will find its not. may be your name says it all?

Christ knows, it was bad enough that it was happening and noted before but absolutely criminal at this level that it's still going on now. I mean, you'd get a complete and thoroughly deserved b0llocking off your coach at under eights level never mind at this.

When you consider how analytical Morgan is and take into account his legendary video review sessions it is a bit strange that something as fundamental as this is overlooked. Especially in view of a particular tackle we were on the receiving end of last season and the end result.

Fox is playing on the wrong wing and has been for almost 2 years. Before the change of wing he was regularly scoring, now he's going from bad to worse.

If the England manager wants to pick him for right wing fine, but his best position for Rovers is on the left!

If you look back over the last few years, signing young, talented fast backs hasn't been KR's strength has it? Other than Latus (who is NOT a back).....? Forwards seem to be Morgan's speciality ATM.

just wanted to say hope briscoe recovers quick............hes a good lad

I found that it was.


Wow, You've gone down that one, really?

I think briscoe had a really good 1st season ,he seems to have slipped since then though ,
he was a fantastic attacking player at FC but seems to have lost that spark.
whether thats down to confidence lack of form age or coached out off him im not sure but he is not the briscoe of old.

maybe some time on the side lines will give him his hunger back for the game.

for me charlie is the one to slot striaght in at fullback.aggression and a bit off pace will prob do the side alot of good.

one bad side to ben is he likes to get involved which can be a weak point and im sure he will be targeted by coaches to wind him up .

as for eastmond ,i think its a non started beside's if he did come in i dont think full back is were he would be played ,missing dobbo i would have though scrumm half would be his most obvious solution.

cant see his heart been in it anyway even if it was a route we went down

I think the fact that Colbon played on the right yesterday (and looked far more assured there) is a definite sign that Fox will play on the left if and when he sorts himself out.

Totally agree about this point but perhaps when you're that close to it all, then sometimes the most logical things can be overlooked.

I think what yesterday showed for me is that our back 5 have been the main problem so far this season rather than the forwards or half-backs and an 89% completion rate is proof in the pudding that I think apart from Fox being out of form, everyone in the back 5 were playing in positions they were comfortable in and the rest of the team was more assured as a result.

Also with decent kick returns it shows we have some strength in depth in our forwards when you consider we have Newton & Wheeldon out of the team and Murrell playing in the halves at the moment.

I totally agree ben is the one for me he had a great game yesterday lets hope he keeps it up

Briscoe was what we needed in 2008 and he's had 3 and abit good years here so far but at the minute it looks to me his time here could end up the same as it did at Hull, replaced by a player who brings more in terms of attacking options

Briscoe's form needs to improve, no question about it. He has been good for us since his arrival and can be still be good for us long term, just needs to get back to his best. If not then maybe it would be best if he did move on at the end of the season.

I also think it would benefit Sherriff if he could get out on loan to a Championship side at some point this season.

Bumped into him at Brough shopping centre the other day he looked terrible, was moving like an old man pushing his child around. His face was well battered as well.

We don't have a shopping centre in Brough

brisk always looks battered decent bloke tho

Not surprised,he has put his body on the line for the cause enough times.

He does but why is it no other rugby player looks as battered as him, I mean Charlie I feel puts in the effort yet still manages to look darn good at the end of a game

Don`t think Fozzard is exactly an oil painting.
