You guys came to play tonight and were unlucky not to be ahead at HT. The young FB was exceptional and then that awful error to gift Rovers a try just before HT. It might make him it might break him..I suspect the former.

Beforehand I was telling Rovers fans how good a player Rhys Martyn is and not just a great goalkicker. He then proceeded to run our right edge ragged and miss a straightforward goal kick

Second half Rovers raised the intensity and ran out comfortable winners. Good luck for 2025.

Almost everyone in the current squad makes dumb errors, or plays OK one week and goes missing the next. Without a decent platform up front though we're always playing a strange game with makeweights trying to make yardage or playing too many sets starting from poor positions.

I hope a really hard off season will fix some of the players up. That and hopefully a decent pack will at least let everyone see who is of the right quality.

Having said that, I'm fed up of hearing that player X will go well in a better team, or they were OK two years ago, or they looked good when we batter a poor team or they work hard. Its trotted out time and again when said player (players plural) play badly. No more excuses. If we want to get back to the top there can't be any sacred cows.

This is my point often too. I’m sick and tired of accepting excuses (not reasons) for persistent poor performances. Those who are not capable any longer, need to be replaced by those that are.

Living with ADHD is really tough but if managed with a lot of understanding and education about the condition (there's so many misconceptions) it can be a huge strength. a real step forward despite not being at the peak of his powers , has been to come through a full season without major injury. I hope he can go up a level this preseason

I would say this season we have 2 of the worse centres in the competition.
Momorovski needs shipping out asap and Arthur needs to assess if Newman is capable of improving or not.
Both imo cost us trys one when Newman sent a ridiculous pass to Croft from DH and Momorovski when he came running out of the line to allow KR to score.
Sangare I think or hope that he has been told to show me what you can do by Arthur and failed miserably.
Our best forward is leaving and we have some promising kids coming through but will not be top 4 players consistently throughout the season.
I`m sure Arthur will get the team fitter and more committed but we need 2 more props a hard running second rower and a similar type of centre to make top 4 again.
