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.

There wasn't any prize money the league position we finished in determind the amount you got paid by the rfl for next season 200k was the amount all of this was spent on contracts the bottom club got 150k and top about 500k it wasn't an extra 200k that's all the club got for this season

That's good to know, what about the monies the Eagles are paying to ground share, surely that must a sizeable sum or why agree to any deal, also if clubs who finished below us receive less how can they afford to sign players we supposedly cannot, if this is sponsors or benefactors then fair enough. Why would the board of the rovers elect to buy the Dons and not invest in the team to create greater revenue streams . I would imagine the income from our home games so far would equal one rovers game based upon average rovers attendance and assume an average spend on food and drink.

I cannot believe any board of directors of any business would agree to purchase another business and let it go to ruin due to underfunding, unless their due diligence wasn't carried out to ensure they understood what they were investing in.

Looking from the outside in it appears someone or some decision makers have made an error.

However I do believe this squad will improve especially now our first choice half back pairing are fit, and will only get better once they fell like last season. Pas and Mitch will also add other options once fit, and I believe we will stay up although wI'll be a rocky ride. I just feel the momentum of last season as been lost and could set the club back 2 years with increasing its fNbase through success on the pitch, we have a marketing team with a database of potential new supporters who know the stadium and enjoy sport.
