The short answer is depends on what your expectations. I fully expected us to be in the middle 8's, and for us to struggle. So we're pretty much were I expected us to be.

Our pack's been week for a number of years, and the style we play at the moment (more one man), dosn't suit it and shows its deficiencys. I personally think we need to produce either more offloads or get it out wide earlier. We all have different opinions on players, but I would like to see of Moss (pace), and a ball handling LF. As at the moment we're just not troubling or making defences have to think.

This season reminds me alot of 2016 season. Just trying to do enough during the season, and get through the middle 8's. It's not a tatic I like, but if it works can't really complain.sort of feel this season's all about staying up to be relevant in any discussion on any change of format.

As for the change of format, I think alot could be down to how Toulouse & Toronto do. And they're waiting to see if they go up normally before deciding.
But it is a shambles that we don't know what's going on. And makes a mockery of the game.

I am loathe to criticise TS due to his experience and vast knowledge of our game. In my opinion the thing we are lacking in Rovers play is speed and intensity, plus we have hardly had a settled side, we have missed the enthusiasm of Lawler and Donno, lost Addy, now Lunt. We look lethargic and seem to play with an attitude of well there's always next weeks game we can win.

Well, so glad the boys have made me eat my words..
