I agree about Rapana.Total waste of a quota spot
You dont bring in someone like Rapana because he is experienced and good to have around in the dressing room you use your quota spots on overseas players because they are usually better quality than uk players.He was a wing and now way past his best.
That said given we are playing with no centres and no second row its little wonder we struggle in some games
Every season we say we have to add some pace.
If Cartwright decides to use Pryce as a full back then we need a running halfback.If he moves Pryce to six then we have to find a running full back.
Centre though has to be a priority.
Hardaker though could give us a useful second row option and an ideal bench player given his ability to also play in the backs
Hardaker 

Rapana is a marquee player too isn't he? Agree he's been disappointing 

Well went to watch the reserves today not too much to worry about there!!

not had chance to comment from last night, but it was all so predictable wasn't it? 


big crowd at home and the team lets them down again (scored twice when the place emptied in the last 7 minutes!)




firstly, credit to Cas, came with a game plan of getting it out wide quickly where their strengths are, tire our forwards our quickly in the muggy conditions.




Secondly,  for us, Hardaker and Martin only the two players to come out of that game with positives, too many players way off their game, not winning at home for a year starting to creep into the players heads, mentally they should be strong enough not to even consider that stat, but somehow it seems it does for some of our players.




finally, our lack of second rowers now taking its toll, if the club knew the likes of Jed, Lane and Watts were long term and we have cap space, go out and try and find cover. 




Salford next week not a gimmie anymore after last nights poop show!

Enjoyed my visit again to you guys Friday night. Always one of my favourite away days. 
On the game I thought it was a sluggish game. We weren't great but I felt we were the better team overall and the longer it went on the more confident I thought we would get the win. You have a fair few injuries and had you been full strength It probably would have been closer. 
All the best for the rest of the season. Spoke to a few of your fans pre match and always have a good laugh and joke with the FC fans.

Fair summary.

2 poor teams but you looked far more organised than us and thoroughly deserved the win.


We look so nervous playing at home and didn’t appear to show the same desire to defend our line that we showed at Catalan?

Don't you go to derby games? Rovers have won the Clive Sullivan trophy year after year for ages now.

Rovers trophy cabinet;

Challenge Cup, Clive Sullivan Trophy, Roger Millward Trophy, Man of Steel Trophy, Coach of the Year Trophy. What you got in yours?

You forgot the one for having the neediest supporters in Super League.

Surely the mos and coach of the year are individual awards, not club ones? 

Well done for ending the 40 year drought. Glad you got to see it before you popped your cloggs bob.

F---  A--

Rapana is too desperate to make something happen, every drive gets makes he's trying to do a maverick shrug off several defenders and go the length of the field and the problem is even for players in their prime that only happens a couple of times a season. He needs to go back to basics.

I do have some sympathy that he has played a different position each week though. 


We are badly lacking pace in the Centres and the backline made worse with Pryce now being out. Teams are not daft and watch videos and it's clear to see a quick burst of pace creates gaps in our defence.
