Fitzhenry seems to be going OK in the NRL judging by todays game.
Clinton is going OK, Walker is injured otherwise a good player. Webster is very good & is badly missed. Ratu & Cook are what you expect for what we can pay, it would be nice to have all internationals but with our crowds & with cash tight we are lucky to have what we have got a not very palatable fact but we are stuck with it. I will still go & watch as they are my team.

Do you do anything else but moan moan moan. Bet your one of the originaL 1200. NO thought not.
When the going gets tough moan.

What great squad?

full back who's had one too many bang to the head
one centre who can't tackle
another centre who's a 2nd rower
a NL standard utility player on one wing
fattest, slowest loose forward in SL at stand off
canberra's 3rd choice scrum half
Hull FC's U20's hooker


Could go on but you get the gist

If rovers are paying up to the salary cap for that lot whoever agreed the deals wants sacking

At least the 20s put up a great display against their 'conveyor belt' of talent. Came back from 30-0 to draw 30-30 after nilling them in the 2nd half. Wouldn't do any worse than playing some of these kids instead of the 1st teamers, would probably do them good and give a kick up the back side some of them obviously need.

Other than cooke leaving, are rovers actually spending any less thsi season? Who went and hasb't been replaced?

Most of the saints U20's were in the 1st team

Should have put KR's 20s in there then and we would have made a fist of it - boys v boys!

stan the man!!!!!!!!!

Well, that was a pleasant night out on Merseyside.

Positives to take? Erm...

The nice stewards didn't wang me out for having a cheeky fag round the back.
The chance to visit some proper RL toilets, although my slashing against corrugated iron technique was rather rusty since my last visit to Hilton Park and I think my Campers suffered a bit of splash back.
Doing a second take as I saw the team stood on the hard shoulder of the M62 and then wondering how many of them you can get in a Golf.
The amusing young scamps Saints fans stood behind us.
The chorus of "Four points to the Referee" when we scored in the second half.

Think that's about it.

One good thing you can take from a drubbing is the chance to watch quality players do their thing and not be that fussed because the games gone. Eastmond was terrific at times tonight and I'm not ashamed to say I applauded his try.

Oh, and that pub near the grounds quite a nice spot, real ale and little kids playing TGG on the old bowling green.

It's all your fault PMH, you & your black eye.

The standard this year is worse than last.

hkrs maybe

aussie clique anyone?

You only have to look at both Hull clubs, both been gash pretty much so far and yet both sit in a play-off spot.

Quick question, are you allowed to sin bin a player for a head high tackle?

We have been world class compared to you lot

And sit a massive 2 points clear of us

Remember this?


You know how popular your humour is on here, don't you? You're familiar with my fondness for ambiguous, [ipossibly[/i unkind rhetorical questions, aren't you?

MR.

but when hull fans said this last year hkr fans wouldn't have it.

The over all standard of sl drops every season with the quota.

Disagree completely, the quality of our squad, Bradfords' squad, and Warringtons' squad have all improved dramatically, you could also say that Huddersfield/Leeds have better squads this year too.

I dont think that has had such a big effect on it yet.

The quality of SL has dropped ever since rovers came into it. Just a coincidence mind.

so why is the standard down then?

Do you think the standard of our team is down from last year? Or Bradfords/Wigan/Warringtons? Do you think the standard of Leeds'/Huddersfields' squad is down from last year?

I think the average standard has stayed about the same. More teams have been pulled into the mid-ranking category, from both ends of the spectrum, making it less predictable.
