dont think so
Catalan dominated us for most of the game
You cant compete at the top level in S/L playing with four small lightweight forwards and a supposed nine playing in the second row

Bookies have Rovers firm favourites

Yaha and Zenon gone back with the Catalan team apparently.

Apparently none of our players would get in their team so it’s hardly surprising

No surprise really as Yaha was only short term cover for Hall which for me seems short sighted. They already have Walker as replacement for Coote with Zenob again another short term deal after Walker failed his HIA.

Get the feeling this game may well boil over for some reason.

Hope Swift is 100% for Sunday

Top teams/players dominate all sports

Only been 6 different teams that's won the Premiership in last 20+ years

Djokovic Federer and Nadal dominated tennis for 15 years

BUT I DEFFO THINK THE SALARY CAP NEEDS SCRAPPING ALL IT DOOES IT HOLD THE SPORT BACK

Couldnt in any case see the point of keeping the full back when Walker will be available.
Still rate Walker as a class full back and could cause us some damage at the weekend.
Funny but i said the same about the game boiling over.Can see 2 red cards and four yellow cards coming up.
Swift wont play on Sunday

The games on Sunday, so he might be OK.

I'm still disappointed that we haven't made any move bringing in somebody to replace Evans.

8 felt before the season started that we lacked depth in the pack. With Evans gone and Taylot and Griffin out then we're struggling to put a decent pack out to 0erform consistently.

Lovodua isn't the answer. Smith probably doesn't believe the young kiss are ready yet or he'd have already had them in the team.

I'm hoping Taylor is back, I don't know the extent of his injury. Then we can put him at proper and move Ligi into the second row. If not then I think we'll have to put Lane back in the starting team..

Litten straight swap for Swift. We're looking strong with depth in the backs right now. You have to win the forward battle first though. Win that and the two Jakes win us the game.

"Replace evans"





He was terrible you could pick a fan out the stand that would do just as much as evans did !

I mean replace him on the wage bill. Somebody to step in to take the wage he was taking.

I think Rover's have a more balanced and settled squad than us and was surprised to see them bring in the Frenchmen rather than give fringe players an opportunity. With Walker and Hall available again and home advantage I would expect them to be too strong for a Hull side which is still developing and has 2 props, Griffin and Swift unavailable. As long as we continue to improve and give them a bloody nose, I'll be happy.
