Fair points well made, however are you happy with the performances so far? Atkin is 26 now, and needs to start games in his natural position, my main gripe is that yes Tomkins etc have transitioned into different positions, but it is plain to see that Atkin is nowhere near good enough to play full back, the same as Lawler at hooker yet Sheens will continue to play them, to the detriment to both of the players and more importantly the team.

We haven’t been great games like yesterday should have been closed out personally I’d have Atkin in front of Drinkwater we needed another half with Maguires age but it’s like Sheens is trying to shoehorn Atkin in anywhere because he knows he shouldn’t have been dropped why at the same time playing Drinkwater as justification of the money been spent I could be completely wrong like as for Lawler he has to play maybe not at hooker though

Getting a bit fed up now of watching mediocre rugby. Same old Same old! Nothing seems to change and we aint moved on in years. Im 50/50 on a renewed contract as other coaches with a lesser CV than Tim's have brought in better players. Sitting 5th now but bottom 3 within a couple of weeks.

If he could sort out defence then for me he can stay, but missing 53 tackles against Salford doesnt suggest he can. 159 missed tackles in 4 games is pathetic. Do we a defence coach?

Wow I really hope Grudgehull does give the wizard another three year contract. How many years would that make it since you’ve won a major trophy?

My thoughts is his shrewdness has gotten and is keeping Rovers in SL.

I can't see him hanging around without money.

Early days but not been convinced in any game so far. We just do not kill teams off which is a major weakness and has got to be addressed. Is it a mental thing? but we don,t see anyone cajoling the troops or shouting and driving them on, no one playing to the crowd, they all seem to relaxed. Wish we had a Clint Newton or Cockayne in the team. We need to get nasty and horrible to play against. Yes we are playing Super League teams, but we just seem too soft when it matters and are missing a killer instinct..not happy.

In terms of quality we’re [imaybe[/i a mid-table team. Which’d be an improvement on recent seasons.

I know I went off on one, in my own gentle way, at the weekend. And to lose after being 14 points up is painful. However, if we’d lost by 2 having been down by 14 at HT, i’d probably have been banging on about a slow start costing us. Losing needs rationalising in a way that winning doesn’t.

There may be a mental or cultural element to it, but in SL there are teams that are better than us, teams that are on a similar level, and then, trying not to be too disrespectful, London. I think that’s the bigger issue.

We showed decent mental fortitude in that last set in the derby, after all.

Prior to the start of this season Sheens gave an interview to the Yorkshire Post and it seemed like he wanted to stay on for 2020 but the club had yet to make up their minds;

[i“What will be will be. Again, it’s out of my hands. You never say never and you want to continue. But it really comes down to what the club wants, what they see the future of the club is and that’s out of my hands.

There are teams like Wakefield & Salford who are spending less than Rovers but outperforming us I think that is why the board are unwilling to commit at this stage.

However Tim doesn't want to go back to Australia so it's only fair the club makes a decision in good time. Halfway through the season would seem reasonable.

Bet you was fuming wasn’t you?



To be honest, Tim could be the most entertaining rovers coach since the rat catcher. I really hope he stays for a really long time. I’ve heard even the players mock him in the dressing room.

Sure you have
