I sympathise ... are you coming round to my gloomy point of view yet?
Optimism can only take us so far.

Cooke now knows that platitudes like 'I will fix it'
mean fook all if the side isn't good enough.

I really don't think the situation is Cookes fault. It's above him.

I wasn't suggesting it was.
I am saying he can't keep trotting out 'I will fix it.' because he has been landed with the worst side in the division and the youngsters can't help because they would take an even bigger thrashing.

This was a game I thought we could, and should, win. Very disappointing.

The league tables for Super League and the Championship look a bit sick for our DR arrangement.

One win between two teams must tell a story.

At least the Hull lads will have Championship experience if/when they drop out of SL.

Andy Kain should have been playing for us, if the club thought about it.
If Hunslet can afford him from Championship 1 we could have from 4th in Championship.

Too late now.

I was told we could have had him for 40k but couldn't afford it .... chickenfeed compared to where we are now!

50 years plus supporter you get a feel for it but no satisfaction from it.

I don't think its the gospel there, but I know we spoke to him, then signed for Hunslet (apparently) for less than he wanted from us...

but it's going to be very hard with our squad i feel.

I am so disappointed with today's 2nd half performance, we were looking comfortable after 30 minutes and only dumb execution meant we didn't extend our lead and put us in a dominant position , the other positive was Wilko , he caused them a lot of problems in the first half and was the best player on the pitch, I can understand why he faded in the 2nd half after a lengthy spell out.
The 2nd half was a shambles and showed a lot of deficiencies, I can't understand why Kesick only played the last 12 minutes and for 15 minutes we had no kyle or Mike emmett on the field after their performance last week against leigh when on together. Howarth again disappointed and gave away a silly penalty away which lead to them scoring to go 18-12 in front, although other players made some silly mistakes.
The question to ask is why we haven't invested more into the squad this year after last seasons success, the prize money alone would have been greater than previous budgets, and add on the money from the Eagles we surely should have a 500k budget, if not then where have these monies gone, or if not spent why not invest to continue the success and attract further support through the good publicity which will be in the faces of rovers fans.
I hope the club can answer the questions posed, whatever the answer I will accept and continue to support my club, just be good to understand the direction the club is going.
