6 if you include Lee crooks

For as much as he gets bigged up to have only delivered 1 LLS in the 6/7 years he's been there is a poor return. Cas are a good team when fully fit but rubbish in big games. Don't think it will be long before they are looking for a new coach.

Tbf to Powell, what he has done well is to get the best out of some fairly middle of the road players. Their best 17 compared to ours isn't even close on paper. They have a few really good forwards (Watts, Moors, JSL etc.) but there are alot of average bordering on poor players in that side. And he has turned a few players that nobody rated into pretty decent ones (McShane, Milner). Even in 2017 they had no right to do what they did, because they certainly didn't have the best players. Powell has done very well with limited resources. Until he gets a chance with a "big" club, then it's unfair to look at his trophies and say he has underperformed.

Yeaman 7. Radford 8? Can't remember whether he won it with Bradford.

… was Richard Horne there?



(LR has a cup winners medal with Bradford.)

And maybe Iafeta Paleaaesina. Maybe not, surprisingly.

Well.

Rovers next 2 games on a Thursday against teams who have played in France 5 days earlier gives them a big advantage and should be 4 points for them now Smith is calling the shots.

Very favourable run of fixtures for them

Serves warrington right for taking rovers lightly and resting players

Indeed. To be fair Hauraki's been very clear they are a top 5 side, just happening a bit later in the season than expected.

steve McNamara had a nightmare the other night ,dreamt Catalan had to play a fixture on a Thursday night,thankfully for him he woke up and realised it was all a bad dream.

Let's hope London can do us a favour here but I doubt it

Lost potential local schadenfreunde notwithstanding a good result for us with Rovers beating Warrington.

Four points behind them, in effect six given the points difference and the unlikely scenario of teams drawing these days.

Come on London!!

Battye apart they musg be giving away 3 stone a man
