So even though we're the same team, same players, same coach (although I can dream), we'll be a worse team later in the season than we are now if we finish in a lower place?

Utter nonsense

I'm not even saying that, I'm saying until everyone has played everyone else home and away the league table isn't necessary an exact reflection of how strong each team is. Certainly at this stage it will be a reasonable approximation, but isn't exact.

well said lyn,i put this on another thread but nobody picked up on it.

im on hols in benidorm atm and i missed the game on friday night so i cant comment on it,by all accounts it was sh-te, ill post my thoughts in general tho,terrrible news on longy but im sure we will get by without him as we did earlier in the season,im still as positive as when i started the other thread,i agree we are not playing great rugby every week but name a team who is?ill spell things out were i see it from.

negatives

we have lost to crusaders who are doing very well for a new team,ok we would of expected to of beat them but they have beat bulls,leeds and have run other teams close so was that realy a bad result away from home?

lost to salford,ill not comment on that game cos we should of beaten them hands down,but on the daythey wanted it more.

lost to quins,same as above

lost to wire,top two in the league and tbh i thought we played very well and had a chance of beating them.

lost to leeds,very good team as we all know,ok they not on top of there game this year but we `played them when they had hit a good run of form.

lost to wigan,they just ripped us to threads,end of story.

lost to hudd,thought the game was there for the taking we played decent rugby to go 18-0 up then we just let them back into it and caved in,still hudds are a very good team who finished pretty high up in the table last year and are up they again.

lost to leeds in cup game,was it realy a bad result the way leeds played?not as if we were playing dockers or someone like that was it.

i maybe missed a defeat or two out but are these defeats realy that bad?

positives

after the last 2 seasons we have had and we are 4th in the league and some people are still not happy,we have beaten sts home and away.the last team to do that was 20 years ago,we played very well in both of them,ok the home game we was poor in 1st half but to come back from that was something special,we have played some good rugby this year also some dumb rugby,we still havent it nowhere near top gear yet,like i said im on my hols and people still text me to say agar out got one text saying hul won 10-8 longy suspected broken arm,players seem to of realised they want agar out now which can only be a good thing,and thats a fan of over 30 years

,
I seriously believe some people need a reality check,4th in the league 3 points clear of leeds who have wire to play today and saints next week,cant see them getting much out of them 2 games,also cant see us finishing lower then 5th,WHAT DO SOME PEOPLE ACTUALY CALL IMPROVEMENT???

ANYWAY IM GANNING BACK TO MY SUN BED

wake up people and keep cheering on the boys,come on you hulllllllllllllllllllllll

wasting your time paul.

4th in the league means we are the 4th best team,the table doesnt lie,teh teams above are much better and more consistent,some people just want us to fail so agar gets the bullet,simple as.

heres one for ye mate.

we won 4 games on the spin,i never recieved one text saying how well we have played or giving agar or the coaching staff any credit,but soon as we lost the texts returned,AGAR OUT,HIS SUBSTITUTIONS ARE CRAP ETC ETC,SOME PEOPLE TALK UTTER SH-TE AND CANT GIVE CREDIT WHEN ITS DUE,id of taken 4th spot at this stage of the season and many teams below us would gladly swap places.

My problem with the team is I don't think we play a game which is either attractive or well organised. I think we win games because we have some very powerful operators who are able, as indivduals, pull things out of the bag. How often do we really look dangerous in the way a Leeds, Warrington, Saints, Wigan do? I think we lack pace and guile right across the team. And I would say we don't look like we're able to structure an attack half the time; and that is the coach's fault.

We're in 4th by right but only a fool would suggest we are the fourth best team in SL.

Sorry mate but you really are



The fecking league tables DO NOT LIE!!!!

So were Rovers the 4th best team last season?

10th worst!

Sorry but aside from the second half against Saints when exactly did we play well?

Can you provide some evidence to base that assertion on?

Again, here's my examples of a league table lying:

1. Hull FC after 5 games of last season
2. Hull City after half of their first Premier League season

And, it can be argued that sometimes a league table can lie even at the end of the season:

1. Salford making the playoffs a few years back and getting relegated the next season
2. Rovers finishing 4th last season (I'm not saying that was false but a lot of people on here were over on the Rovers board saying so)
3. Ipswich Town in 2000, narrowly missing out on a Champions League place in their first season back in the Premiership, the following season with the same manager and a squad that had been improved they were relegated.

I've raised such examples several times now and nobody takes me up on them...sighing and saying some people are never happy etc, repeating the mantra 'the league table doesn't lie', shouting 'get it?!!' and saying I'm crazy really doesn't wash... It's a debate so if somebody wants to disprove what I'm saying then my examples should be easy enough to dismantle...

WTF has football got to do with it


Look TODAY we are 4th...have a look at the table...it really is simple...
4th! 4th! 4th! 4th! 4th!4th!....is that clear....we have played all the other teams and we are 4th!!!


I have not got a crystal ball so I do not know where we will finish the campaign...All I know is [uup to[/u now we are the 4th best team...I AM NOT REPLYING TO YOU ON THIS MATTER ANY MORE because your posts really are silly now.

6th after the play-offs.
