...a few things were made clear for me.

The teams confidence is shot, last night apart from the ten minute spell in the second half when Morgans words will still have been ringing in their ears, we looked mis guided and leaderless. The half time talk clearly worked as we looked class immediately after the break, but you could see the doubt creep back into the team as soon as Salford started applying pressure again.

I mentioned leaderless and a leader is something we don't seem to have at the minute, I'd argue we're missing our biggest two in Vella and Newton and yes Dobson leads on attack but I'm talking about someone who rallies the troops after conceding a try or repeat set. We weren't talking last night.

As much as Scott Murrell plays is heart out for us and has a kicking game that can sometimes win you games, he is not a scrum half. We aren't going to replace Dobson but surly it's time to give Bell a shot?

Mason isn't match fit, that's not a problem as he's only going to get match fitness by playing, but it's worth mentioning. He along with the rest of the squad will play far better and turn it around, no doubt in my mind.

Lastly, any Rovers fan calling for Morgans head wants a slap, we're expecting as much as we are now because of where that mans got us to, if we played as badly as last night for the rest of the season he'd deserve at least that amount of time and patience from the fans to try and get it right again.

Well said!

Watch the fans drop off now. Hudge must be banging his head against the wall. I just dont see any light at the end of the tunnel. Mason can lead us give him the armband.

many have said that we have been a one man team, take Dobbo out and Hull KR will fall apart. looks as though they are right. I have said to many people the two players we should fear getting injured at the same time are Dobbo and Newton, Dobbo is an easy one to understand, but Newton proves just how good he is when he is MISSING from the team sheet.

Morgan has a big problem, Huddersfield (Brough in particular) will kick us to death and on last nights showing we might be getting 50+ past us LIVE for all to see. Unless we do something quick, we will be going into the derby with two wins from ten, with the only optimism being that FC are just as $hite as us.

Also take into consideration the opening fixtures that Rovers have had. Hull Castleford Crusaders Catalan Salford only really Warrington a tough task. I think most rovers fans would have expected 4 wins out of the opening 6.

Dobson is the main reason you are not functioning, you are right Murrell is not a scrum half, he is a decent squad player. Mason as I have posted before wont win you any games. You need to address the Dobson situation quickly.

Look at Castleford they are a different side with Danny Orr running them around the pitch, recruit quickly or your season is over.

Good luck.

We wish. We're 1 from 9 and as it stands you're in a play-off place.

Yep totally agree on all of this

Disapointing for us but it is a long season. I did not go last night but should we not give Salford some credit? they have on paper a good squad & a lot of pundits have tipped them for a vast improvment this year.

Agree with all!

Shows how bad things are,I can`t think of a decent comeback.

must be bad

Spot on! Good post

Don't agree there, didn't show any leadership qualitiesl lastnight, in fact, he didn't even seem to be talking to anyone at all, unlike last week - or was that just for the TV cameras?

We desperately missed Newton down the right hand side lastnight, chances he would have pounced on went begging.

Lets be honest you've been waiting to slag him off since we've signed him so that doesn't shock me

And once again you're talking complete bollox, did you not read any of my praise for him after last weeks game? As regards these comments, if you think they're bad you should have heard a bloke stood up behind us lastnight!

Willie Mason is the biggest signing our club has made for many years, this excites me as much as any other fan, to suggest otherwise, well, it speaks more about you than me Phil. BUT, and this is where we're probably different, I give credit where it is due, last week he deserved it, lastnight he didn't. It was suggested above that he should be leading us, IMO he shouldn't as he didn't even seem to be communicating with the rest of the team, unlike last week when he was on the touchline even when not on the field, getting the rest of the team going.

You levelled similar judgements on me because I questioned the signing of Paul Cooke, yet it wasn't long before your opinion changed.

Opinions and a-holes Phil, we've all got 'em!

Can't believe some Rovers fans calling for Morgan's head, he's taken you from NL1 nobodies to SL playoffs in a few years. You would have had to have been on some serious drugs to imagine Willie Mason turning out for Rovers 5 years ago.

you are going through a bad patch, and have your 3 key players (Dobson, Vella and Newton) missing...but you will still make the playoffs.

if you really don't want Morgan, please direct him in the direction of the KC Stadium!

Correct but I gave Cooke two seasons not two games, Mason played the full 80 last night so how you expected him to be geeing them up from the sideline is beyond me.

He doesn't crop up all over the pitch directing people about because his position is left side second row and he can't be expected to do everything himself.

Blake Green was captain last night but would you have known it?

Check my post again - I was talking about him being on the sidelines last week.

Not a good man to lead us then as CabMan suggested.

And just to correct you, I didn't even give Cooke 2 games, never wanted him.

Your joking Green never i am shocked, i think galea should have been captain. mason was to sh@gged to even realise were his team mates were, he was much more effective last week spelling him, its all very frustrating, what happened to clinton ripping it up.........

I don't think he should be leading us, I think he should be left to get on with his game. Is he playing 80 minutes because the lack of Vella and Newton dictates that? Who knows

But i think snide comments like "Did he only do it for the TV cameras" is harsh on him

Spot on post.
Some people expect us to win the Super League every year.
We are a competitive SL team going through a loss of form and confidence at the moment.
Nobody likes to lose games but there are 13 other teams just as desparate for success as what we are.

how can anyone recruit now? players are all signed up, salary caps are full, who exactly should Rovers go out and sign??? for Rovers its a case of making do with what they have, be it Murrell or Bell. missing Dobson doesnt make players miss tackles or knock on does it?

Mason in a team with no confidence & going backwards??

Looks like you soap dodgers will see the real Willy Mason for the distabilising knob that he is
