Saints are better than us but 30 points better in one half of rugby? Doubtful if we showed interest.

No, you're like half of superleague - capable of the odd shock result but not good enough when it really matters

Broadly true, yeah. We've hit that glass ceiling Hudgell references from time to time. Without even richer backers, this is where we're at. We win some, we lose some, just got to try to make the best of it, I guess - like about half the fans of SL teams.

A lot less than half really given that the better clubs get better crowds - apart from hudds of course

Do you really believe that? Not good enough, not mentally and physically prepared maybe but not interested? Don't think so

Why wouldn't they be interested? A team who weren't interested would have conceded 100+ points.

Stops you from facing up to the truth.
I'll ask again, why would they be disinterested in such an important game?

| I haven't seen the game but my guess and it is just my opinion, is that this sort of result comes from playing players not 100% fit and also players that know they wont be here next year. Its hard to get the balance right but mind games don't wash with me.
We were NEVER going to do much in the play offs with game intensity raised, as teams do, we collapse.
Glad to a certain degree that the game reflected our season, inconsistent !!!

You've bowed to my superior knowledge of RL. If rovers really were disinterested in that 1st half it would have been 50+ points to saints at half time

True, but actually there's been a Big 4 throughout the SL (it's composition has changed slightly now, but the original 4 are the only ones to win the big vase), and you could say the same of 8 or 10 teams through most of that time. Or drop a couple of the very worst and most poorly supported out of 'capable of causing a surprise' group.

| Started well, scored off pretty much Saints' only first half mistake than didn't touch the ball again for fifteen minutes.
Brown had us worked out and exploited our right edge defence weakness, playing Horne from the start was a huge error by Sandercock, compounded by the recent form of Cox.
Saints were by far the better side, Roby murdered us through the middle and then the left edge defence went to cack to even up the score with the right.
Played with a bit of pride in the second half, but all Saints needed to do was continually make us bring the ball out of our twenty and wait for the inevitable error to break away and score.
Turner had about the best game I've seen him play. Brown came up with a great game plan of refusing to take us on up the middle early doors and look to exploit our poor edge defence by pushing it wide early in the tackle count. We were too thick to see this and failed to adapt and kept the middle tight which extrapolated that tactic.
Hey-ho, onto supporting The Kumuls in the World Cup.

| Zod has to be the worst pundit on any of the boards. Missing again, I notice.
After that dry-bumming, questions should be asked. Why do you give Graeme Horne money? Why continue with Brown, and why did you play a clearly unfit Dobson?
That was a waste of a top 8 spot. Confidence had nothing to do with it - you started off full of it and then realised you still cannot tackle.

What are you on about - his knowledge? [iYou[/i stated - and reiterated profusely - that Rovers were not interested. Jake asked you why you thought this may be case. After all, that's a massive smack in the face for Hudge, Sandy and not least the fans. And Gollum.
[iWhy[/i were KR not interested in playing a play-off game?[i Your[/i self-proclaimed knowledge, remember. We're all agog. And still waiting for your answer.

| In other words, "I don't want to answer, I've backed myself into a corner".
Not interested, my h. That was a poor poor display, not worthy of a play-off game. It's a good job Saints stopped pawing your semi-lifeless corpse and put their minds on the next round.
It was Saints who were disinterested, once they'd exposed how bad Horne, Brown and Salter were.
