I met two Catalans fans once, I ended up joining the French Communist Party.

. . . did your flat feet fail you from the foreign legion?

That and being a big fat hopeless get.

a compedium of endearing qualities (including flat feet) lol!

Just me that got told he wears high heels then... only hes that fat there now classed as flipflops

Gardez le drapeau rouge qui vole haut!

I have just read Sandercock's comment on Blake Green's chances re the Catalan match (in the HDM), which I thought was set in stone based on his comment to RH earlier in the week, but apparently not.

Slammer's called it a case of poor kidology, but for the first time since Sandercock's appointment I heard alarm bells ringing - is he for real?

Sounds to me like it's not Sandercocks fault. He thought he'd play last weeks and the specialist gave him another week on the medication. Hopefully the specialist has now given him the all clear seen as his HDM interview was probably yesterday for airing today meaning his appointment has being done and dusted..

What's the problem? At no point in the recovery time was it ever mentioned that he'd be back for the derby. That was never going to happen. It was always going to be a case of possibly the CC or next week vs London. Of course everyone wants him back as soon as possible but we have to patient. As he finished his tablets only last week, it's natural for the specialist to want to at least monitor him for another week or two thereafter. Signing him off to play RL will be totally different from a normal case. The risks associated are too great. So I'm sure the specialist will need to be 100% certain that there's no chance of this reoccurring, now that Blake has finished his medication.

slammer says a lot of things but i dont think you can blame sandercock on this one its down to the specialist on this one to sign him off so sandercocks hands are tied really and why was the other thread locked about the player faking injury everybody knows its clinton weres the big secret

All I will add on the matter is Blake told me he had been given the green light to come off the medication the Monday before Easter!

A decision to allow Blake to come off the wharfarin and then a decision to allow him to resume playing are two completely different decisions. I fully believe he'll play on Sunday however.

What're we thinking?

Weather's a bit damp and there's quite a chill in the air, not sure who that favours.

Le catalans don't like the cold it turns they're frogs legs all bendy Wendy

If Blake is in the team on the day, i`m sure no matter what that he will get a rapturous welcome back....

Yet another 40 minute performance, good comback but if we could hold onto the ball we might not be giving teams 20 point starts.

Hard luck lads, pity Dobbo didn't have his usual goal kicking performance. Cats were there to be beaten if we could have been more disciplined and hold the ball better. Yet another gloriouis defeat. At least we put up a better performance then the city's "big team" Come on Rovers, forget about the cup now and consolidate in the Super League.....Rally round the Robins

The difference. Cracking 2nd half shame about a disastrous 1st 40

HULL KR (0) 18
Tries: Taylor, Green, Hodgson, Latus Goals: Dobson
CATALAN DRAGONS (20) 20
Tries: Pryce 2, Henderson Goals: Dureau 4

I don't think the first half was as bad as people were making out, yes we wern't great and we make errors but people around me were saying how it was all over at 8-0 and how awful every player was. As Catalans showed in the second half with the head wind it was impossible to score and hard ot get out of there own half

1st half we had some great goal line defence, but again missed lots of tackles, we need to work on stopping the offload.

People calling for Sandercocks head in the East stand bar at half time.

I think people need to be a bit more patient with Craig.

We could have nicked it in the second half.

Disappointed but can't knock em today. Thought we defended quite well & Catalans couldn't cope running into the wind any better than we did. Width of a post, Dobbo having an off day with the boot, disallowed tries (did Bentham over-rule the in-goal judge on both?) could have gone either way. Great to see Blake back, thought he had a strong game. Salter's gonna be a fixture in the side soon. Great impact from all of the bench today, Lovegrove ran really well. Mika seems to have faded a bit recently though.

Sandercock sorted it half time. But the simple facts are we are out!!. As far as silverware is concerned its season over however great to see Blake Green back and already looking our best player. Does Dobbo practice?? David Beckham became a free kick specialist because after training he carried on kicking. When security is sweeping up and about to lock up i expect Dobbo to be the last person leaving the training ground. How many times did we knock on 20 30 times. The facts are Catalan wernt all that. If they and huddersfield are top four then its the poorest top four for years. Cmon Rovers become an 80 minute team. The injury excuse is nearly over with the big man Jake back soon and Blake running the show with ball in hand we must be comfortable top 8.

Agree. Apart for the the last two tries I thought Rovers defended pretty well and managed the ruck quite well.

It's the lack of possession that's really hurting us; we need to get in the arm-wrestle then we'll win games.
