Im not really sure what alot of you were expecting in terms of the team we put out, got the best out of it what we could IMO. Sure a good team would have beaten us but I should bloody well think so with a new half back in the side and a young kid and our conditioning coach in the centres. No recognised wingers and a centre at stand off.
Hats off to the guys who played for us tonight as i didnt expect a result.'"
Well said.

| Very harsh for anyone to label us a poor tonight. Jesus, did they not see the players missing?

This...was just about to say the same thing!
There are some miserable buggers on here...Yes, we didn't look like world beaters, but I expected us to get beat considering we've probably got the majority of our salary cap sat in the stands.
Great effort from every single player out there today. Fair play to Yeamo, sometimes a bit of extra experience is the right call.
Next few weeks will be tough...but you never know...we might just surprise a few

| Rovers had as many out as us.
The biggest issue for me is we aren't learning, same discipline problems particularly getting involved when the game is won we didn't learn from the Fev game.

I would argue every day or the week there build up would have being far better then ours. We had two props patched up to play.
I just think very harsh to criticise tonights effort.

It was an extremely makeshift team and whilst I think there were some things that were frustrating (e.g. starting Griffin on the wing, unforced handling errors etc) there were plenty of positives - our line speed and rush defence were great at times, Connor's skill caused a load of problems, Westerman/Mini/Manu all had very good games and Houghton exploited darting runs out of acting half all afternoon to get us going forward. We would have lost against Saints - so what? We weren't playing them. You could say that about pretty much any team any week. Let's enjoy a 7th successive derby win (can't remember the last time that happened); the road ahead with a decimated set of backs is hard enough so I'm going to savour the win for now and reflect on the good things we displayed in adversity - there were plenty to observe.

| My god, what exactly were people expecting. Sadly, yet again, the comments regarding today's performance are an indictment of just how banal, predictable and boring this board has become.

| Yeaman was poor but what do you expect he hasn't played for 2 years the best bit was because he's that used to not passing that when he tried to it wouldn't leave his hands , the game went much the way I expected for all your injuries in the backs your pack was far too strong for us and I'd throw that French kid in from the start

| Can't understand some people we won, we got two points we are still in the top 4 tonight, we have beaten them 7 times on the trot and a very, very make shift side made Rovers look what they are, pretty woeful. As for Yeamo he put his hand up 8 days ago he volunteered when the team was struggling after he hadn't trained for 16 months he did it to help the team out, he played, we won so we got away with it. Thing is with another 2 or three points we avoid Leigh Toronto and the middle 8's whether we like it or not in the adversity we face at present that has to be the first aim. It was a passionate performance and the kids really stood up. Radford can still get us up for the big games whoever we have out there .

Absolutely correct. We won and that's all that matters. A 7th consecutive derby win should be celebrated not picked to pieces.

| Crazy ricochets off the crossbar aside it was pretty much the game I expected to see. We played to our strengths and kept it basic with direct running, quick play the balls and offloads. We got done on the outside a few times but that was expected. Rovers are rubbish, and yes of course a better team would have beaten us, but we did what we needed to do. Dont think anyone can be disappointed with the performance.
Westerman was the best player on the pitch imo. Although Connor stole the show somewhat with a handful of world class plays. The 2 debutants did fine. Miloudi again showed lots of promise. Mini had his best performance of the year, if he played like that every week I would be in favour of another extension for sure. Yeaman didn't really work out imo. Full credit to him for putting his hand up but we got nothing from him that Hadley couldnt have done.

Completely agree - this is the worst set of injuries to genuine first teamers for ages and they are all long term ones. With the toughest possible cup draw we need to go all out for the 1-2 further wins needed to avoid the 8s which will be a real battle this year and do what we did at the end of 2015 with Fash, Masi and co and give the likes of Lane, Harris, Scott, Logan, Miloudi as much gametime as possible. We need to play the long game here.
