| To those fans who went did any players stand out? I know in such a scoreline it's hard to think of positives but hell right now we need some

I'm sure he'll be better in a few years when he's ready to step up to coaching a pro RL side.
Oh, hang on...

| Quote: ccs "So who in the starting line-up would you say were non-tryers then ?
Shaul, Lineham, Crooks, Yeaman, Stark, Horne, Rankin, Watts, Hadley, Bowden, Thompson, Whiting, Westerman'"
I didn't go today so can't comment on today's efforts.
but based on the previous 2 seasons I'd say that Yeaman, Watts & Westerman are three in particular that put in very patchy, inconsistent displays and all three have an air of arrogance about them IMO.

In think you'll find Gingdong was referring to Featherstone ROVERS.

| My thoughts on the game.
Firstly, Featherstone are no mugs. They're a very good Championship side.
Our team selection was totally bizarre for a last hitout. Of our first choice pack we chose to leave out Paea, Feka, Ellis, Houghton, and obviously Tuson's injured. Our reserve starting pack (Westerman and Watts apart) got dominated and we played the first half in our own half.
We had our first choice halves out there, but behind a beaten pack they had no space, and we barely had the ball anyway. Rankin was the best of the 3 but not much in it. All 3 played off the park by Gareth Moore controlling the game. Rather than persist with getting combinations going, we played the 2nd half essentially with Whiting, Thompson and the academy.
A baffling afternoon, some good skills from Fev, and 2 potentially serious injuries to our already light front row. Good job Bowden got big minutes, reckon he'll have to start v Catalans.

If someone dropped out i'd hope it'd be obvious to replace a hooker with a hooker but apparently not.

I don't know them off the field, and I don't see them in training so of course I could read it all wrong, but I know that on the field all three can appear disinterested.
on his day for example Watts can be a devastating impact prop with a good offload, but most weeks last season I forgot he was even playing, and we all know that he came with a reputation for being unprofessional off the field. No SL team gets rid of a decent player mid-season, I think Rovers sold us a 'dud car' with that one.

Liam Watts ability was never in question at Rovers but his attitude certainly was. he got dropped and didn't have the commitment to fight his way back into the side, he just sulked.
