We scored the same number of tries that Rovers did. And kicked the same number of goals. Hence there was only 1 point in it.

So not really seeing what you're getting at here.

Shaul, I thought played his heart out. Agree forwards didn't have the impact to give the backs the impact they needed

No problem at all but in fairness you told me shouldn't make a call which is actually what these boards are all about isn't it?

If anyone dare watch the game again, watch our defence from dummy half, absolutely appalling, time after time we only had one marker and they kept getting on the front foot.

Our backs are too slow, but don't have much options there.

People lose perspective in defeat, something I think they remember a different game. Shauls run, Yeamans centre play, Rankin single try...

Got to agree with you on this one.

Problem was, no impact or zip from the bench. Feka & Azza wouldve lifted us.

We lacked any go-forward all night, no energy, no determination - for mine.

Our mentality hasnt changed,we play a high ranking team ,beat them, then next performance - we fall flat.

Whiting didn't even touch that attempted drop goal.
The video ref looked at 3 angles were you couldn't tell and gave it as touched. Sky then showed a completely different angle and it was clear he didn't touch it.
Jon Wells has also just proved it.

If you watch the first 20 when the packs were even or passing along the line was garbage and just like old times. Not good enough.

Their forwards were very good, Weyman in particular. We're never going to win a game requiring a drop goal with current personnel. Rovers deserved the win, undoubtedly.

Totally agree.

Lazy sods.

We literally have no game brains. Nobody who can take charge during a game and make the necessary alterations to the game plan. Rovers were moving up so quickly in defence we needed to stand a little deeper and take advantage of the acres of space outwide. Instead we continue ploughing it down the middle and playing into there hands.

If we don't get someone kicking these conversions we will struggle ,

all the missed points will mean having to score more tries so always chasing the game...

not saying we lost because of that tonight ,but does not help either

Hit the nail on the head

Rovers were playing a really tight defence, but our passing was too slow to take advantage, did it better 2nd half.

Love the fact that we kick once to Caro, he drops it, next time he lets it bounce. never kicked it to him once after that.

We really are a thick team at times.
