Quite.
You look at Saints, Leeds, Wigan et al and they're able to still compete when they suffer injuries. It seems we're building something similar.
The way we've so far dealt with our forwards crisis is heartening to say the least.

Personally I doubt our squad depth is much better than previous seasons, what has changed is that we have a coach who doesn't mention the absent players and sends a squad on to the pitch with a game plan and believing they will win.

'In Peter Gentle We Trust'

PG and AP have probably by now inherited another 10,000 Christmas cards this year.

A guy who is not getting a lot of credit IMO is Brett Seymour. For a long while we have craved that half back who does all the fancy passes and kicks and just because Seymour maybe has not done that he has not had a lot of praise. IMO he organizes the team tremendously and you can always see him barking orders out down the line. You always see him pointing where he wants the players to run from and this must be a massive relief to the players on the pitch knowing they have a general among them who can steer the ship.

He is the reason we no longer panic in the opponents half of the pitch. Has an eye for scoring a try to.

I thought he had his best game for us today, and for a halfback he tackles really well.

His kicking (particularly in the first half) could be better, but he is getting better and better and it great having a consistent no7 on the pitch each week.

Also - Seymour's defence is outstanding and isn't made out of hob nobs like our previous 7's

I thought Seymour had a great game today in defence and every time he had the ball he gave the Rovers defence something to worry about. Just a couple of kicks today let him down a tad.

I said the same today - the last two games he has been outstanding for me. Great Scum Half and leader.

He is what we haven't had had in the past few seasons someone to direct us around the pitch

Still think Seymour and Ellis would be the combination to go with.
The problem that leaves is who to play at fullback.
Richard Horne has played well there, but so has McKinnon.
It's a tough choice for Gentle but I can't see him switching from the usual Horne at 6 with Ellis on the bench. Our kicking game is much better though when Ellis is on the pitch.

well said

Wade is our full back.

Horne and Seymour our halves.

Jamie Ellis has real potential and will step in for either half back this season.

Are we back? YES

Are we top 4 this season? Probably not, but we have a great Coach, a great Chairman and the future is BLACK AND WHITE.

Rome wasn't built in a day.

This season me, Mrs BM and our daughter are actually looking forward to going to games, as opposed under Agar just like thousands of other fans, finding it a chore to go and watch the SOS.

Now the signs are looking good and I get the feeling that long term, something special is building. You can just sense it.

Seymour stepped up and controlled the 2nd half. Organises well . He should have scored in the first half though. He gave the ball when it was easier to score!
Well played yesterday , his best game for us so far.

I don't know if "we are back" but speaking as one of Pearson's missing 2000 fans, I am.
I boycotted all home matches last year but as soon as Pearson came on board and got rid of Agar, I was back.

Before my boycott, under the last regime, I left matches feeling frustrated/angry/dishearted/cheated.

This year I'm leaving with my hands red from clapping and my throat sore.
Brilliant performance yesterday but equally a brilliant perfomance against Bradford.

I don't care where we finish this year, I'm just happy to have my team back.

I hope thats just you pretending to be Stevo !!!
