I dont think we were rubbish just a bit disjointed at times but that is what we get with the free unstructured way they play add the fact that we are a bit light up the middle at the moment & the Cats are a big side. I am always dissapointed to loose but I am happy with what we are getting to see this year.
I would agree Blair is not our best centre, I would have had him in the second row maybe with Horne at centre. Anyway I am looking forward to Friday & another go at Wigan as I know this year if the plan works we are capable of winning.

Let's be honest, Catalans were a bit crap too and probably feel that had they played better they would have won by more..

What plan would that be?

You are a bit slow I suspect. If she tells you the plan on here then Wigan can find out and counter it..

I thought french John and gallic Kev played well

Not as slow as you if you think Beverley Red is her name

Our goal line defence was shocking yesterday

Aye, along with Italian Josh & Cockney Kieron.

Lets go Goose-fishing together.

Best of it is, the French John thing winds me up as well.

Absolutely bob on, Mystic Meg. Although Boudebza did Ok, we did struggle without Lunt in the middle and also in the centres despite Blair playing as suggested by you in the centre spot.
Poor old Blair looked rusty and also like he'd regained all his winter warmth again during his recent injury layoff. Consequently I predict that we might get Barnabus on here again having a go at him about his weight and preaching to us all his “you're dim if you're not trim” mantra. Is he still up for Moderator? Its possible Goose may lose his inside track position for this, if he continues to get upset by all the disrespectful moniker mentions.

Tiles looked disinterested, I'd bin him off.

what i have seen of rovers this year IE on telly they look a lot better then the last 2 seasons or even the last 3 they do not throw the towel in when losing hope they keep it up

Before he's even set foot in Hull! Hope he's not been speaking to Ryan Bailey or the job's buggered.

I would expect anybody to play a bit cack after a 21 hour flight, jet lag, another flight, disrupted sleep patterns, team mates who you barely know and one day to learn the playbook.

How dare you come around here and be positive after a defeat

Tilse played about 20 mins in all,made 23 tackles and 11 carries,a pretty promising start IMO.

Tilse was more effective during his second stint, but I agree he made a half decent start to his Rovers career given some of the far from ideal preparation he had.

I thought he looked decent to me and probably should of been saved till Wigan game but needs must he tackled well and didn't take a step backwards, all the traveling can't of helped him, and he needs to stay out of dummy half what was he playing at?

The only thing I would say about your team is that at least you play some enterprising rugby.
Defeats aren't as painful if you've at least been entertained.
You should try following a team that can only try and barge their way over the way. And they can't even do that successfully.

The thing is we look ok, but if we keep the group together then there'll be a lot of promise next year. Our big problem will be if we lose too many in the close season. We need consistency in the team, hope this is it.

Tilse did ok, his first carry and drop aside. Looks to have a decent offload. Not a lot of grunt shown in that stint but early days yet.

The Kelly no try was a big moment, if he'd just tucked the ball under his arm he'd have scored.

No he wouldn't. He was tackled short of the line.

Yes he would. Momentum took him over the line.

Apologies, I've just watched it back, you are correct!

We had tackles in the bag but hey I dont want to stop his off the cuff plays, we just have to except that somtimes he will not pull it off.
