Lunt Lee Lannon Crooks Quinlan Scruton Jewitt Mulhern Greenwood all out . Was Shaw even fit or just named? Need to get a couple of bodies in on loan . The bench we put out today is unacceptable even with the ridiculous injury list and had a fair bearing in the loss imo

According to Sheens' interview we may have lost Garbutt for next week and Jewitt doesn't sound good. Hopefully Mulhern and Lunt coming back though.

i dare say with 2 or 3 of those players mentioned we would have won buy were beginning to sound like the kick try merchants , the real problem is the 6.7 and 9 ,nothing much happening from there

Good close game and enjoyable to listen to for the neutral. Still think rovers missed a golden opportunity through with les cats not having a recognized hooker. Made them much weaker and rovers really should have taken advantage and the two league points. Still, long season and long way to go yet.

Well done on a fair post. Sky made a lot of Catalans missing Mcillorum but we had no Lunt or Lee. We did however have Atkin who again put us on front foot when on but for some bizarre reason we get 60 minutes of Addy plodding around giving dumb penalties away. Also Sky seem to think Matt Whitley is the new Mal Meninga for some reason?

You mean the bit of time wasting when blood was pouring out of a cut on the guys head and running down his face- and the referee made him get attention a couple of times- that time wasting? Booing a guy with a head injury- classy.

Fair point about Addy. He looks a shadow of the player he was when playing for Scotland in the World Cup. Back then I thought rovers had uncovered a real gem.

He's been decent enough since injury but a hooker he is not. Just can't understand why Atkin doesn't get the majority of game. Atkin plays 60/80 min today we win imo

I know all teams have players that ‘play’ for penalties but Cats are the worst I’ve seen so far, and my god how the ref fell for so many. The worst had to be when Langi was on his back after being tackled, nobody on top of him and he starts punching the air and childs blows up!? What was that one about?! I wish we could have Thaler every week as to be fair to him he gets it right 95% of the time.

No excuse for why we lost, just making a point on how most refs just completely destroy a game with penalties that are so often milked. No one has yet beaten the Hastings one at craven park but Langi was pretty good, flapping about every time he’d been tackled. I wish some of our players would use their heads and flap in to thin air too

Just can’t help yourself Craigy, your obsession with us is alarming.

We didnt have a proper hooker either you buffoon.

he probably knows more about hookers than we do

It was bit of banter with Wiz. Don't get upset George

George Lawler turning into a cracking player, a West Hull amateur I think.
Taking into account Catalans lost Casty “partly” Bird & Moa for the remainder of the game, this game should have been won, especially with those two big men, missing for a long period, an entertaining game, wish we had more Sunday matches.

You will know when I’m upset Craigy, but my views are generally balanced and fair, and not based on petty hatred, and moronic posts.

Illl ask you again as you never answered last time, who is George?

loL LoL

I know you're just looking for a bite, but we didn't complain at the real injury. Unfortunately though, Catalan cry wolf too often in this match and virtually every other match when the pressure is on them. In short, they've got previous.

There was a point when we had a roll on and one of there players went down at the PTB so the ref had no choice but to stop the game only for the player to sprint back to the defensive line a minute later

Baffling today in several areas.

The use or should I say misuse of Atkin. McGuire looks out of condition and not firing. Drinkwater OOC. Lunt injured. Lee struggling with his neck. Quinlan out. And yet Atkin can't get a start. He was not happy. There is a real risk of all 3 halves going through the exit door in September which would be really disappointing.

Bench interchange decisions generally poor. Garbutt flogged in the latter stages despite them missing Moa and Bird with Casty and Edwards injured. Share the workload.

That said we were competitive yet again. Top 5 is still very much a realistic aim but I'm concerned that we are giving points away through poor selection choices. We should win at Huddersfield then after Saints we have a fairly easy run through to May.

come off it zook, beat huddersfield,not on that performance as for a easy run well never have one this year , we are in a spot of bother after losing our arguably easiest home game need certain players back sharpish

Catalans without a recognised hooker so Rovers missed a golden opportunity???? Rovers were without 1st choice hooker Lunt and 2nd choice hooker Lee themselves!

Not to mention 5 props unavailable (Jewitt, Scruton, Greenwood, Mulhern, Lannon). Then in the crucial closing stages Masoe & Garbutt go off with head knocks and suddenly any player left standing must play at prop!

I'm making excuses I know and Rovers had a great chance to win the game and were not able to. I accept that. But please if we are playing the 'missing player' card it was a photo finish at hooker and win for Rovers by a length overall!

Squad for Hudds announced today. Let's hope it's not as bad as it looks?

Huddersfield with stacks of injuries and can only name an 18 man squad. Perfect time for lucky rovers to play them. Good opportunity for you to rest a few blokes and still win at a canter.

How can we rest a few with the injuries we have you plonker

That sort of comment says it all. Nothing more to be said.
