Another win only 2 more and we are safe for another year I hope

What a shambles it was 24-0 nil in as many minutes,then we decide were going to score every time we get the ball,give countless penalties on the 5th tackle,all it was needed was to play proper rugby but no we dont do that.
Tims half time team talk must have been legendary,the 1st set of 6 in the 2nd of halifax possession we give a penalty on the 5th tackle and sadly the rest of the half was total dross and to add the icing on the cake our player of the season could well not play again this year.Great performance rovers.

A win is a win, but, play like that next week and we will lose. After the initial 24 points it was shocking. No leadership, no enthusiasm, weak tackling.Cue on the rack performance. Injuries did not help and they sound like bad ones, but it was Halifax, not Melbourne Storm...Big Big improvement needed and sooner, or possible MPG...gulp!!

Not a good day for Rovers. Allowed Halifax out of their end far to easily imo not good enough against part timers

London will be up for it next week after beating Toulouse. The question is - will we be?

Another step closer - although it sounded an unsteady step in that second half. Still, credit for the fast start, and it never really felt like it was in doubt.

The injuries are a bit of a sickener, but i think Sheens said Donaldson and Crooks might be back next week, which’d be very welcome.

Losing Carney is something we are used to, but the Quinlan injury will take some cutting edge out of the attack, he assisted all 5 tries we scored when he was on.

Looks likely we will have to put Hally at full back and we know that can mean rocks or diamonds. Still 11 tries in 5 games should ensure he’s full of confidence.

After the start we had it was a golden chance to put the points difference right,but through our own incompetence we now have the worst points difference out of the top 5 by a good margin,and that could be the difference between top 3 and the million pound game.Talk about making our own problems.

Very good win in the circumstances. Ran out of fit interchanges, injured players on the pitch and a couple of major reshuffles throughout the game.

Halifax came to spoil and to be fair they were spirited after our initial onslaught.

2 more wins needed and we can look forward to going through all of this again in 2019!

Injuries a concern but we have good players to come back into the 17. Luckily we have built a deep squad.

Not sure that’s down to luck, more learning lessons of the recent past.

Surely a no brainier that Craig Hall is a hkr player in 2019

We don’t have the worst points difference in the top 5 let alone by some margin look today wasn’t pretty but we knew what to expect from Halifax after the Salford game if you said to me you’ll go beat Leeds and Toronto away and have a comfortable albeit scrappy win over Halifax I’d have snapped your hand off so stop been so miserable

Disappointed is a better word than miserable mate.

You wouldn’t be a Rovers fan if you aren’t disappointed at least once or twice every couple of games it’s the way it is

Half of our teams problem this season has been giving the opposition cheap possession and putting us under unnecessary pressure. This gives the opposition confidence and tires our players out. How many times do we give it away with a crazy pass, lose it on the first or second play, or get penalised on the fifth tackle...Yes, I am having a moan, but I am frustrated watching so many unforced errors. , That said, got to be happy with any win, but we are better than this, just need to play smarter.
Don,t care if we play boring from now on,but we MUST win against London which will not be easy, and then win another. Lose next week and we are OUT of the top three with only two games to go.Cut out the errors or at least reduce the error count and play with some passion. Didn,t look like we had it today.
Don,t think I could take another MPG...Don,t do it to me! Come on boys, heads up, controlled aggression, play smarter and get the wins.

Pretty much my thoughts on the situation.

You would bet your house on it would'nt you?

In the rugby press it says Catalans are in for him. So i guess money might come into it.
I have always rated Hall (and Kris Welham), however you just couldnt keep making the glaring errors in defence they were doing.
Hall looks to have cut them out of his game, making him a valuable asset to any team for his attacking prowess, he is an out and out points machine.

Add into the mix the fact he is red n white through and through makes it a no brainer to offer him a deal, and vice captaincy with a view to take over from Lunt.


Would also offer Welham a 1-2 year deal, providing he is not on a huge salary. He too seems to be a lot better player to the one that played in his last season for us. Has a very good trys/games ratio and from what i have seen in the flash and on the box his defence has improve 5 fold.

What have you seen in Hall that makes him captain material? Good player but not a leader.

Anybody else suprised Ben Heaton not charged/cautioned for head high challenge on Craig Hall?

You raise legitimate concerns but let's not forget London's previous games. 32-0 down after 52 minutes v Toronto, 10-48 down to Leeds after 64 minutes.

They are no more reliable than we are. Of course we must assume they will come to win and be prepared.

Not really.

It was a brush against the face a bit like when Connor refused to play on against Featherstone. Hall stepped and the flailing arm caught him. Fortunately the ref didn't stop for a penalty allowing the unharmed Hall to score.

Besides why do we want Heaton banned against other teams when he played on against us?

Just hope the players are up for it. Fans need to bring back the atmosphere to where it should be.

We should be beating London at home quite comfortably really

A win is a win, but if it boils down to points difference we could be in trouble, on that performance London must be feeling confident.

I don’t think the points difference will come into it
