Some people are too easily bought by PR.

Holdsworth is not good enough and by the way, under McRae, we never won a playoff game (Did we even reach them)? Never got to a CC final. The style was dire, that's the reason we won feckall during his famous "5 year plan".

The only thing rubbish there mate is your post, what a load of .

Recent fan, are we?

Under McRae we played some of the best RL I have seen from an FC side. We scored plenty of points and if not for some chronic luck with injuries at the business end of the year would have reached a GF I'm certain. Go watch some season highlights from those years if you don't believe me.

Deary me....go and get a DVD highlights and check your History before you post utter crap.The 2004 season we batterd teams for fun until a chronic injury list took its toll in the play-offs.

I'm sure I've read someone say we look tired in recent games, I've not noticed it myself but like Gentle pointed out last night since the season started we've only had one week off which hasn't allowed us to 'recharge' & get some players back. I know it's the same with Wigan & look at their form over the last few weeks.

I don't want to use this as an excuse as we were just awful last night, nothing to do with fitness. Just haven't seen it mentioned yet.

Sounds a bit like this year!!

No developing squad can be expected to slot in when half the "better" players are injured.

With the best will in the world, it's well nigh impossible to have a squad of 25+ top class players.

We've probably got a few too many average squad players, but they have fitted in well when included as individuals, but not when 4 or 5 are playing.

(I found "Janice's" RH interviewing embarrassing, to put it mildly.
Image what we'd be saying if she had been a rovers supporter talking about her team.)

Yes, in 2001, 2002 and 2004.

Pretty unlucky in 2001, losing 24-27 at Wigan then 20-24 at home to Saints (with the dodgy foot-in-touch try to Saints).

We lost to Wakefield of course in 2004 but were without Jason Smith, Richie Barnett Paul King and Richard Horne. Cooke played but wasn't 100% fit (didn't take the goal kicks). A fully fit squad would've made Old Trafford that year. We'd only lost four league games up to mid August but then lost three in a row when injuries hit.

To say we were dire under McRae is, to be frank, complete horse.

Loved that season and the chants of "there's only two Richie Barnetts" would love a centre of his quality back at the club again

That loss to Saints Tony Martin should have either been binned or sent off if i recall correctly and then had a hand in the try that won it for them!
The Wakefield match it all went wrong just after the half time break when Korkidas did a barnstorming run and it lifted their full team and seeed to put doubt in our pack and we were winning at half time in that game

Who had his head in touch in the lead up to thier winning try....remember the Korkidas run but we had cooke playing strapped up and half the team in the stands including Jason Smith,who could dismantle a team on his own.

Stankevich wasnt it, the white marks took years to come out

Looked like one of the Mallens.

My word.

Some people are just thick. This confirms it.

You do realise you've just defined inconsistency?
