Jewitt and Mose and Blair was missed badly last night and Scruton did far to much running side ways for me .... on thing you have to criticise about the team selection is starting Carney over Atkin if something worked so well why change it as good as Carney may be you have to earn a starting spot and Atkin has done that all season although the speed out of acting half from Atkin was class but id still like to see him start in the half’s not the start we wanted but it’s a wake up call you can’t just think that if you have a better team on paper you will win you have to earn it with hard work like Salford did ...... nervouse about next week now as lose that and we may be in trouble

Hull kr along with Widnes are now in real danger of relegation, every fixture is so important in the middle 8’s competition, where as rounds 1-23 are meaningless for most.

Wunt Say hull kr are in real danger of relegation! You need 5 wins to be safe and we had ower hardest 3 games first Leeds and Toronto away and Salford at home Salford not a bad side with the new signings they have made I think hull kr Leeds and Salford will be safe it’s not like we lost to a championship team at home plus it was a poor performance no where near the leavl where capable of

You need 5 wins to be safe and only have 6 games left

I still have a feeling they will change it and noone will go down this year, upto 14 next year. As a black and white, I have zero interest in the rest of the season whatsoever, as it stands have no intention of going to any of our away matches which is sad.

I think we will go to 14 teams for 2020 or 2021 but there’s no way it’s going to happen for 2019

Jeez, how many more should we have rested?!



The big difference between this year and 2016, when some decisions were born of complacency almost bordering on willful dipstickery, is that so far this season I think Rovers have got more right than wrong. Without so many injuries to our best handful of players we might even have nicked 8th. When it became clear we wouldn’t, we brought in reinforcements.

But there’s very, very little margin for error in the shizzle 8s. Leeds at Headingley, with all that means, is going to be ‘tough’ so we’ve got basically none now. Going down again would probably be worse than last time, despite the parachute payment. The only consolation would be that, to me and by itself, it’d just feel unfortunate. Poop can happen.

we wont merge end of, on a different note bad results for both teams last night, we have had 2 really good seasons and a poor one this year albeit injuries have played a part, you also have had a poor season again partly due to injuries, yet don't see many calling for sheens head ? you would think we where in the middle 8s and you where in the top 8 if you didn't know and looked at this forum, not a lover of this system and hopefully will be scrapped,

We agree to differ on your choices for the Derby selection, you would certainly had Bobby playing, and perhaps a fresher Danny Tickle especially at his age, top performances don’t come every week. The Derby curse, just when you think your out, it draws you back in.

Good luck with the remaining fixtures, you will probably win more in the run in than our spent team.

Performance relative to expectation, innit? Sheens inherited... well not much really. The roots of our problems predate him. He’s done a good job. If we get relegated this year, then as I say it’s just one of those things - I don’t think there’d be much justification for blaming anyone. Just our current situation and the way this system ‘works’.

For Hull, the danger might be that you end 2018 in a way not too dissimilar to how we ended 2012. It can be hard to regain momentum once it is lost.

Hate this stupid competition..in effect a mini league where if you have a temporary bad run or get on the wrong end of a crappy decision in a crucial match you get relegated. Over a full season if you finish BOTTOM you should get relegated, if you finish TOP of your league you should get promoted, simple simple simple...too simple for the RFL. God forbid we go down again. I am thoroughly peed off.
