Fages, Locke and Hansen have played internationals, but struggling for the other 4. It was hardly like they were facing 7 of Australia and New Zealand's best!

| Listened to it all now and I'm baffled. The only missing player I'd really suggest as a strike player is Shaul, and the only one will contribute to making us a 'pretty' side as he put it is possibly Westerman. He's significantly overstating it IMO.

Easty said this side has the most potential of a Rovers team of the last 30 years. Royston Vasey that Campese> Millward etc. Don't shoot the messenger.

That's a relief. Craig Murdock & Easty are true barometers of the Rovers fanbase.
Keyword missing in all this nonsense is Murdock's use of the word "attacking". He clearly wasn't talking about our defence as it's yet to be seen this season.

"Whether KR play Wigan, Bradford or Rochdale, they're always going to score points." Oops.

| Quote: easthull fc fan "I'm not saying he doesn't contribute to the clubs poor efforts, but once some ""fans"" have it in for someone they don't let up, now I have seen what fans have had some previous players feel like, kr have just been dry bummed with johnsons on but they are not calling for Chester/poching or the players out, iI just don't see it as healthy for the club that's all, a dog will bite when it's forced to.'"
Rovers are only a few months in with Chester and an almost completely new squad who are still gelling. It's also only the second time in the last 7 games they've lost by more than 8, and they had several missing, so it could just be a setback in recent progress, yet. Radford is well into his second season and we're getting worse, not better.
As for the dog analogy, if a dog bites the hand that feeds it more than once, it's usually best to put it down. He doesn't need to keep having digs at the fans, and that is not healthy for or helping the club either.

Only other one I could think of was Darrell Griffin. He got a call up whilst at Hudds.
To add further context, we had 5 who have played international rugby ourselves.

It is doom & gloom because of the rugby his team are serving up, but I think he means it shouldn't be as we are in & around the teams we should be with, we are 2points from 5th place, if we was in wakeys position I could understand he would be under fire, but we are surviving in what is the closest it's been for a very long time.

He was asked directly by Lloyd "does it hurt you?", "what would you say to them?" And so on. If he said he wasn't bothered people would say he's a deaf/blind idiot. He says it does and feels it's partly unjustified and he's still wrong.

Edit
I got Griffin, so that's it then. Although Taylor is stretching it a bit. If he counts for them, we can add Whiting to ours & say we had 6.

So they did have more internationals than us. He was asked I think about their request to postpone the game due to 16 injuries. Pointing out the strength they still had plus our own absences is fair response.
