Not able to go but listened on line, was not expecting a win hoping & hope we avoided a hammering so to be actually disappointed we did not scrape a win was a very very good surprise. It also helps to keep people interested in the team & I hope the team get a lift from a performance that showed a lot of character grit & resolve. Got two weeks now to prepare to push on into the season climax.

Apart from the top 3 and maybe Wakey, I think every side in the league could say that about injuries, unfortunately part and parcel of the game and ten team with the least about of key injuries seems to do well (Like we did in 2016).

I think looking at the game, it's a point gained, but really to try and finish in the top 8, you needed both.

Massive game on a week Friday, probably your biggest game of the season as lose and that you out of the race for the top 8.

Cheers.

Credit to KR. I think we had the attitude of we had done enough when we went 8? up in the second half. I genuinely thought you were going to pinch it with a drop goal at the end but I'm happy with a point considering how well you came back at us. Can't remember who scored that long range try for you but it was a good en. Hope you stay up.

8th has been teetering between long shot and unrealistic for a good long while now. 6 points behind Hudds with only 5 to be played, but if we did beat them in our next game up it’d keep our very, very slim hopes alive. Even a win today would have left us needing 3 more wins than them, so to the extent that it matters a draw is as good as a win - their points difference is poor.

More realistic, if also much less valuable, would be grabbing 9th/10th - and the draw today doesn’t help very much with that.

We’ll be in the middle 8s almost certainly, but if we can build on this over the next five SL rounds, we can go in with a bit of belief.

Looking at the fixtures I think you will finish above Salford and sneak 10th, don't think they will win another game, so need 2 more wins and all games games left are winnable IMO.

The next three will be important - they are all winnable. But there’s a big gap between winnable and winning. We can’t get all cocky after one decent surprise result.

It’s as much about momentum as it is league position now, imo. If we can get McGuire back and add a signing or two more, then come the 8s... well, we’ll see!

Salford are 3 points ahead of us with a better points difference so today's draw does help. I think we now have a good chance of finishing above them and Widnes.

We have a slim chance of catching Huddersfield we must beat them next up and they then have several tough fixtures so who knows. Catalans have an even tougher run in.

Our next 3 are winnable but we have to go back to Justin Morgan for 3 wins on the bounce so it will take a huge effort.

I like the attitude of Joel Tomkins so I'll go with him.......we aim to win all our remaining games and finish in the top 8. If not we intend to finish top of the qualifiers.

10th gets us an extra home game but comes with a trip (daunting?) to Canada, whereas if we stay 11th we’d get them at home.

The most encouraging thing today was the resolve shown when we went 14 down. We usually fold but found a way to hang in and got our reward.

Not sure Toronto are playing in Canada. As the rfl have told them they aren't going to be able to play in blocks and will have to play the games as they fall.
Either way, Toronto look to have a strong side that could cause problems. All the championship look to have sides that could cause problems, could be for a neutral a fascinating 8's.

Funny enough today I started to think we could do something just before Cas's 3rd try. When they had something like 20 tackles, which we defended really well. We just needed to get our hands on the ball.
When we had the ball we looked good. VaiVai was again very good.
The other thing today showed (without a debate), was just how good Atkins was at HB. And that's were he should have been playing all season. Like I said, after today I'm slightly more optimistic. We now have to back it up.

I like Atkin in the halves but he needs to learn when to twist and when to stick. That short drop out was ridiculous at such an early stage of the game and cost us another try. On the plus side, he really takes the line on so well. Hopefully he should renew his partnership with McGuire next game.

Toronto will be playing their 'home' qualifiers games in the UK.

I haven’t seen this confirmed anywhere, do you know for certain?

Rumour is Hastings has signed for Huddersfield... another signing we let slip we really do need a quality half back think it’s about time the club offerd good money for one id of offerd Hastings big money if I was rovers he’s a young kid with a point to prove

Maybe you did?

It's difficult to believe really which players we have and have not been in for this season, since getting linked with every player going is the norm.

However, we have publicly stated we were after an half back so the odds are we must of at least looked at him. Not sure why we haven't took the plunge but from people I know in Aus is that he is a couple of sandwhiches short of a picnic so to speak, and comes with a lot of baggage.

I'm comfortable with a half back pairing on Atkin and Maguire mind, it's just keeping them on the pitch.

Really happy with the point, shame it wasn,t two, but we are still making far too many crazy unforced errors. Get the error count right down and we always have a chance. Kicking out on the full! what,s that all about?
Any way, well done to the boys.
Secondly, if Huddersfield do get Jackson Hastings, that would be a blow. We desperately need another quality half, because as much as I like Mcguire and Atkin, if one is injured with the odd exception we usually struggle, and if they get him over us that will really pee me off.
Maybe the club have someone in the pipeline, we will probably need at least one. Don,t want another MPG.

I agree we do not want another mpg but it looks like it will be I am afraid

Definately a point won.

Before Wigan game if you had offered me three points over next 4 games I would have bitten your hand off and thought they would all come from Cas games.

We have Mags and Carney due back very soon plus Mulhearn. I also read somewhere that Lawler might be back soon (thought he was out all season).

If we can get another centre other than Salter or put Tomkins at centre and get another forward then we will look in a much better shape.

Several teams like Cas are now starting to pick up injuries. A lot of our injured players are starting to come back at the business end of the season. Finishing at least 9th must be the aim to help us in the m8s. More than that though, just winning games will build confidence and let the league table take care of itself.

Anybody no what’s happening with will oaks he’s played a few games for york but not for us surely sheens should play him he’s a good young talent id put him in front of Wallis more soiled is he not fully match fit ?

Getting the troops back for the business end will be pivotal..Plenty due back for Huddersfield game in theory. Watched the highlights of the 3 games I didn't see live this round and there seems to have been a little burst of extra urgency and quality? Probably the best round of games so far.These next few games for us are huge but Lunt McGuiire Mulhearn Jewitt Carney being back plus maybe Lawler? Tompkins plus rumoured 1 or 2 imports imminent signing we should be much stronger.

Have you heard any names of potential signings

Just the old rumour of a HB whether that be Hastings or the original target remains to be seen?

I think Hastings is nailed on for Huddersfield

A rumour that it’s not a done deal at Huddersfield 3 clubs fighting for him probably who ever pays the most I guess don’t think that Will be rovers but apparently we have a half back signed waiting on a visa but I’ll believe it when I see it sick of getting my hopes up with all the rumours and players where linked with
