It was one match. That's not an indicator that the whole edifice is about to come tumbling down or that no progress has been made.

My opinion wasn't based on one match, aside from a decent win against a mediocre Bradford and a decent 2nd half at Saints we've shown nothing so far this season.

I'm not suggesting we are in meltdown, but the gloss is certainly coming off the 'new era' hype. The rugby's just as bad as the Agar era at present.

Of course we can, and I very much do.

We are still having to build (or rebuild) our youth foundation, and that will take more than any 18 months.

Outside recruitment is going to be very difficult for the foreseeable future. Very little from overseas, so we only have a pick from the best of what is available in UK

If Rovers were prepared to sell him and if we could afford him,what makes you or anybody else think that we would only have to snap our fingers and he would come to us.
He in my opinion is one of the best number 7's in our game and just the kind of player we need.
Why would he want to leave a poor side to join another poor side ?
Out of the frying pan into the fire.
Some people need to get a grip on reality and realise that the rugby league world does not hold us, as a club, in such high esteem as some on here think.

Everybody was jumping for joy when Gentle signed his extension last year, now look!
In my opinion, last night was only the first really poor result of the year (losing to Leeds and Warrington is hardly an embarassment) and it's one we had last year yet we still managed sixth.

no brough for hudd today, seems they struggle without him too!

people say that we played OK against Leeds and warrington so its an improvement but no its not enough. against both them two we where just holding on until they broke us down we did not create a chance to win the game we put them under no pressure what so ever that is not challenging! that is just going out to lose imo they need to be quicker and a lot stronger and put teams under pressure and play to the game plan if they have one because in all the games so far it looks like we are trying to score off every play instead of building up and executing when they get the chance they lot like headless chickens in attack

We need a good scrum half to be playing - someone with authority and rugby intelligence. Warrington and Widnes games we didn't have one. Huddersfield have lost theirs today and are getting beaten at home.

without a doubt we do and ive said that in my last 3 posts barring last one.
but were we get one from at this stage of the season from is the problem maybe a loan from nrl or stick with holdsworth/Horne and get someone next year and this year will be another transitional year

No probably wont mate and our season depends on the fitness of Holdsworth to a great degree. The failure to get the targets in the close season will be expensive every time Holdsworth doesn't play.

we need two good halves we have holdsworth we need a dobson or a brough a leader someone to dominate games just shows today rovers 2 good halves big difference mate
i can only see a top 8 finish this year and then a big pre-season trying to find a 7 again and until we get one i fear the worst for the club

I've said it before, and I'll say it again, I'd quite happily swap Briscoe's reported massive contract offer for a massive contract offer for a no7. No point having a quality winger if your passing and kicking game is a shambles.

Use Briscoes wages to get a 7 and upgrade Linehams contract as this kid will be as good as Briscoe and could go on to be better.

Use Seymour's wages to get a 7.

Got to get shut 1st and seeing as he has played this season,his salary counts towards cap.
