Furious.
Deserved win for London, but quack me, what a terribly stupid performance from us.
Just play the flipping game out.
Ages ago I said I'd like London to stay up because of their endeavour and Wardy, but i knew it would be at our expense.
At sixteen fourteen we clearly didn't have enough points on the board and then when we didn't score we decided to give away penalties and possession.
Where have the senior players been?

Can't see any points for us at Salford. Think it's down to Wakefield to save us which is a shambles.The no shows at home to Hudds and Wakey ramped the pressure up for this game and whilst plenty of effort tonight the 2 players took off combined with poor end to sets led to the loss. I do fancy Wakey to win as last 2 games they have played well without winning but it's pee poor we have let it come to this again

Don’t know whether the credit they deserve for repeatedly buying a ticket outweighs their bi-weekly seeming determination to throw it in the bin.

You do start to wonder if there is some deep-seated psychological or cultural issue that leads to this cycle of clown car nonsense year after year, through different coaches and batches of players.

I get just not being very good, but this knack of snatching defeats in crucial matches is astonishing. You can pretty much set your watch by it.

Fair play to London - great effort from them this year against the odds.

Ahhh well.

Hopefully, from a natural justice perspective, they’ll move the games so they’re all kicking off together. Although that might not work well for Sky.

According to the BBC it is currently Hudds-Catalans on the Friday and then Rovers-Salford and Wakefield-London on the Sunday. The worst scenario for us then, strangely, is that Huddersfield lose narrowly, so their PD is better than ours, but Wakefield are safe so long as they don’t lose by about 80. Whatever, it is in our hands, and any sort of win at Salford [ishould[/i be enough.

Decent chance they might move Wakefield-London forward, in which case we might even be almost safe before we kick-off, as long as we don’t lose by 50+. He said, tempting fate.

But to be honest it is the, admittedly important, financial consequences of relegation that concern me more than the sporting ones. If we’re in a position to mount a promotion challenge, that sounds like quite good fun right now. A big if, mind you.

Idiots.A team of bottlers.Well done London, you played with more fire in your bellies than our set of chokers. London were backing up every charge forward with two three and four players ready for the pass. I am sick and tired of leaving the ground after another late late defeat when the win was there for the taking.
London simply seemed to want it more, yes they were playing for survival, but so were we. No excuses, to go through an entire season without two wins on the bounce is appalling and unacceptable. This lot are simply not good enough and deserve to go down.
All teams have got Rovers sussed, put pressure on and they will probably crack,and it,s happened again.
I will watch through my fingers next week, but am not expecting anything positive, and hope that Wakefield put 60 on London.
Need to win at Salford, who expects that?
Good luck Tony Smith,we are going to need.
Thoroughly fed up, they have let us all down again.

Ah well just isn't good enough, but i have to agree squire, what is the answer?

I'll stupidly at Salford for the inevitability.

Look at our squad, there's decent players in there, we're doing something very wrong at first team level, on a rinse and repeat level.

I know who I blame.

Will be interesting to see how Sky pick the televised games. Only fair way as I see it is Wigan Cas or Hull Saints games on Thursday and the other 4 Friday. Ideally all 6 on Friday but can't see that happening

That’s the way they’ll do It.

I just don’t feel as worked up about it as I did in 2016. That felt wilful. Many of the same flaws are there, but they feel more... natural.

There are decent players in our squad. But there’s plenty who are a bit limited or past their best or error-prone or often unavailable due to injury. When you’re best case looks like 8th pre-season it doesn’t take much to blow you into choppy waters.

I think what is wrong, mainly, is a lack of urgency at first team level. I appreciate that patience is a virtue, but we never seem to get beyond the one step backwards stage.

Peacock has served his sentence as my scapegoat. I think our problems largely just reflect a lack of money for fees and wages, not being a club players want to join to fulfil their sporting ambitions, and not bringing many players through our youth system.

Do you want to say who you blame?

Do you think it’s possible that it is a curse on the club ala Hulls wembley hoodoo, you may laugh but too many coincidences for me to think otherwise, we will possibly get through the curse like Hulls Wembley one but when?

Where’s the Smiff tears of joy ?
Players still drunk on the cheap Sangria given to them by Hudge on the 48 hour coach journey home
I backed London -2 so I’m having a beautiful meal tonight with the winnings on the river front in Melbourne

Salford will hammer you next week and London will see off Trinity
The master stroke of Smiff appointment will have worked out so well

You know what, I started about four or five posts that i edited and reviewed and changed MR.

I comedically blame Mike for everything but Neil is ultimately responsible, but we owe him everything for actually having a club and a team to still support, believe in and flow through our blood.

It's easy for me to stand on the sidelines, on the terraces and criticise.

Your a rum lad

You’ve awoken Tarquinius

What's on the menu?

Thought the two game ending injuries cost you in the end although Bronco's looked more enthusiastic with their kick chase than you did.

lying is a form of inadequacy,, we may well get beat at salford but wakey will save our bacon ,look forward to radford out coming next year

Yeah, that’s the thing innit? I think it has worn him down, and he looked to hand over the reins about 6 years ago in fairness. you can’t question his commitment or intentions and even if some of the decision making can be, the calamities cost him more than the rest of us. With the appointment of Tony Smith long-term and John Bastian, i’d like to think he’s got a second wind maybe. I’d love for us to have a little bit of relative success for him (and us

)in the next few years.

Note to my earlier post, any win at Salford will definitely be enough for us. I’ve started thinking about circumstances in which two teams in one of the final matches might both benefit from a manufactured draw, which is a sure sign I need to go kip.

Take it from a wakey fan we aint good enough to save your bacon i
m just hoping catalans or salford save ours

We stopped trying to win that game after about 65 minutes and just tried to see it out, instead of trying to see them off with another try we just kept giving them the ball back thanks to our pathetic kicking game.
The team lacks leadership and brains IMO. i hope we stay up but looking at the players were linked with it'll only be more of the same next year if we do.

Back to your sewer rodent.

Could not agree more my friend, that is why some of my rovers mates think I am mad at the fact I fear survival more than relegation as I am tired of being uncompetitive and would love a return to what is a very balanced and competitive division, notwithstanding Toronto who hopefully will join a resilient London, in the super league, I relish trips on Sunday afternoons to Leigh,Widnes,Halifax,Bradford, bring it on for me and I will be the first person at the club shop a week on Monday to buy a season pass if we get relegated. I would then like to see the club play the likes of Mikey Lewis ,jez Litten, Will Oakes, Will dagger , give British talent a go.

Simple fact..This team collectively is not good enough. That is why we are were we are. Game management is excruciatingly poor. If it had been anywhere near average this season we would be a few points(and safe)better off.

I largely agree. If we do go down, we’ll have the best record of any relegated team in the SL era, I think. Which’d be typically Rovers and scant consolation.

Part of us not being good enough, is that to get a win takes a bigger physical and mental effort than it does for better teams and I think that is why we’re so up and down this year.

I know Smith, like our other recent coaches, likes to ‘play some footy’ - and that would normally appeal to me. I also know fans can quickly tire of ‘5 drives and a kick’. However, I would like us to go a bit more grit and grind now. I think we need that mentality rebuilding, and I don’t think we have enough talent for expansive, expressive play to be our most effective option week in, week out.

So instead of pontificating, on this occasion, get thee sen to Salford, and cheer them on.
