We cant keep saying we had a go
We need to win to get points
Their bench tonight was far superior to ours and thats 12 losses in a row irrespective of whether they won in the last 6 seconds

Feared the worst at half-time but thought we looked fitter, stronger, and dominated them second-half.
Watched my wager go up in smoke with 6 seconds to go but was more gutted for the lads after their second-[istanza[/i efforts.
P!ssed off, muchly.
We've gotta catch a break sooner or later, haven't we?

Faraimo for me. Looked ridiculously strong in the collision. But I thought that whole left side was good. Sneyd, Griffin and Faraimo.

Either Paea is still carrying an injury or he’s done. He lacked any go forward and impact at all, disappointing performance from him tonight. Thought Thompson did ok but he isn’t going to bend or break the line, but occasionally will get through as he not got a bad step.
Said in an earlier post that Taylor going to be carry the team in the forwards again certainly until Bowden & Green get back to full fitness and find the form from 2017.

At half time Sheens said
“ don’t play to not lose but play to win “

That’s our major issue - mental state

Also our forwards failed to dominate a side that will finish bottom 3

Really poor up front for me. Packs win matches and we are short of a prop and a pacey 2nd rower

Imagine if we'd have held on with a MDJ try and a sublime bit of skill by Washy for his assist effort.
You'd of had to skulk off into a corner after whining about the pair of them all week.
I'd have enjoyed that, but alas, it wasn't to be.

We had a go,that's all you can ask for.
Sorry but saying that really riles me.
It's like oh well we lost it doesn't matter, it's the taking part that counts.
Both teams had players missing so lets discount that myth that we would have won had we had a full complinent, because no one knows had we both been at full strength.
What cost us was our lack of ability to turn possession into points which has been a recurring theme as has our discipline.
For all our dominance we got beat by Rovers. They're never say die attitude and willingness to give the ball air undid us.
For all our grunt we'll never get anywhere without some attacking flair.
So deflated right now.

totally agree, some just cant wait to have a gripe, we did well tonight without 6/7 players, yes we got beat in the last 5 secs but hey ho, we wont go far wrong if we can play like that and get some players back, green Bowden and westy would add some bulk to our pack and Kelly connor some class to the backs, am confident we will be challenging for the top 5,

what you mean by giving the ball air? to win it depended on a last min hopeful punt, fairmo try went from one side of the pitch to the other, give rovers some credit there defence was really good tonight, I honestly believe your just a whinger

Yes,you were unlucky.Cant see you losing 13 on the trot.

A hail Mary kick is not attacking flair.

Our finishing was not quite good enough but attack generally was not bad. Great improvisation for Dawson Jones try and for Faraimo’s the ball went the full width of the field on the last tackle. We gave the ball away in three critical situations which lead to their tries, Faraimo losing the ball, Paea giving away a penalty in the tackle and Sneyd’s final kick. Shaul was excellent.

i understamd you have players missing, but so you really think that the reterning players will stop the rot of 12 defeats?
