I think we're in the million pound game, nailed on. That isn't knee-jerk, as hacked off as I am. That is purely because Widnes and Cas will overtake us due to our woeful points difference, and I think one of the teams below us will come out of the bottom four. So we go into a mini-competition will confidence and momentum gone, against Leeds and Huddersfield, and maybe Hull KR on an upward swing.

Time and time again we blow the games that really matter, and get by on ego-stroking wins against teams high above us. If we'd swapped the Wire and Catalan results for the last two, we'd be in the Super 8's pretty much. Now? I think we're on the way out. Dumb, dumb, dumb.

Koukash's tribunal could even do it for us. And I wouldn't fancy playing Leigh in a one-off game.

beginning to show signs of being unfit and lethargic

I have no doubt they have worked hard but were guilty of some very basic errors and once again piggy-backing the opposition up the field. I lost count of how many Rovers tries were scored after receiving a penalty - one of them blatantly NOT a penalty though.
Sorry, simply not good enough.
We seem to have started playing now as we started the season!

Greater rotation in the pack is required....think Chester needs to utilise his entire squad.

Need England, Kirmond and Moore back ASAP plus Yates brought in and David Fafita signed to stop the slump...

Shocking display tonight following on from a poor effort last week although I think the ref should have gone to the screen for both the Hall touchdown in the first half and the header by HKR to Johnstone. Nevertheless these are the matches we should be winning and we need a captain with some bite. No one was talking behind the posts and we were not good enough full stop.

We were completely out muscled up front today and add to that our poor discipline and ball control and that's what happens.
Also, how many times are we going to hope the ball goes dead and let the opposition score, very poor.

Horrible display against one of SL weaker teams, I can't believe where the edge has gone form our game, very, very disappointing.

Mind you, if Chester has a master plan to get us to Wembley, all is forgiven

It's either rocks or diamonds with us it seems no middle ground.

i'm lost for words. on tonights performance and now the second worst points difference in the league [Leeds have the worst and before tonights game HKR had second worst difference] i just hope the hammering does not affect our confidence. its going to be a very hard slog the last 6 matches to stay in the top 8. 3 more at home and 3 away. can we manage two wins out of these six which will probably keep us in the top 8 barring Salford not getting points reinstated. the middle eights this season is going to be a lot harder then last years opening competition.

I guess the automatic response is to assume that the Chester effect is taking over from what Smith left behind. I hope not but we did look quite a bit off the pace. we let the Hull KR halfbacks dictate play by hanging back. I am sorry but Toupou is not a winger and Lynn looked completely out of the game.
I guess all we can hope is that we turn things around, we did miss England, Kirmond and BJB more than some on here were willing to accept.

Playing like that we are nailed on for championship rugby next year. We looked clueless on the odd time we got to the line and bombed 2 chances which would have got us back in the game. Don't think we would have won though. Kelley was pure class tonight and we had no answer.

Utter rubbish tonight. Bar maybe Ashurst the team just didn't turn up in any facet of the game. Play like that and the bottom four beckons, we need to get back on the horse quickly. The team needs Moore, England & BJB in it to give it some bite.

I don't think it was a lack of effort at all.

With Jowitt missing at the back we let the ball bounce all over the place. With him in we would have been starting the set 20 metres up field but without him we turned the ball over and gave tries away. That meant we had no ball and hado to work twice as hard as Rovers in defence.
Add to that Tupou dropping the ball twice to give tries away and a couple of loose balls when attacking the line.

It's not effort it's fatigue and lack of skill in certain players.

Hall needo to be centre or no where. BJB needs to be back.
That alone would have made it a close game with England, Moored and Kirmond making a big difference. A fit Simon would be handy too.

Got totally what we deserved tonight! We set the tone for yours selfs, campese put 3 high bombs up to the back 3 and none of them could handle it which all led to try's! We got bullied up front and completely Dominated in the ruck. We did totally the opposite to what Chester said for us to do with campese, we let him play in a dinner suit, we needed someone to bang him. Very poor from start to finish we missed like people have said to many key players.

Couple of blunders in chesters selection for me tonight, bill should of been in the centre n hall on the wing.
Hall is never a full back as long as he plays rugby, if he thinks Max needs a rest then we have another out and out full back in the squad that can't get a look in, in tansey use him there not hall. I am a hall fan but please god not at full back!
