Lovegrove

O'Hara
Beaumont
Hodgson
Peterson

12-0 down. Looks like a game being used for experience, looking at that team. Though on the other hand, if Webster is an enforced absence, maybe we had no choice. And tbh, it's not like he alone would have been likely to make much of difference.

Its now 18 -0 time to go home me thinks, glad i changed my mind in going roll on next season its got to be better then this i hope

24-12 to the Broncos at HT, after trailing 24-0 on the half hour.

Should have let them get 27 in front before we started the comeback!

Get the next try and we've a chance - so LB will no doubt score within a couple of minutes of the re-start. On t'other hand, last time I was this ruefully negative, we came back to beat Warrington.

48-42 London FT.

Two poor teams, with that abysmal first half hour proving costly to Rovers in the end.

48-42 to London! Only lost out on goals in the end, as the teams split 16 tries.

End of season, shackles off a bit I guess. only 21 league points, but a +24 points difference.

Both most points for (by nearly 100, I think!) and against in SL.

To score 36 then 42 in our final two games and end up losing them both is criminal and says all you need to know about Rovers defence this year.

Roll on next season

A terrible season is now over, thank god! Mr Sandercock, the work starts now for you. Another season like this one and you will be gone!

I wouldn't go so far as to say terrible.

The emergence of several academy products that look as if they can and will cope at this level have saved it.

I agree though, another season like this and he won't be getting another contract.

I agree. 1 win from the last 10 was particularly dispiriting. Only 1 more point than we managed in 2007, despite there being, IMO, more weak teams. But tbf, we went very close a number of times in that bad run, we had probably our worst SL season for injuries and CS inherited the problems created by some indifferent post-2008 recruitment.

We're looking at accelerating the process of bringing in the young players according NH, and CS has to balance the need to do that (with results that inevitably won't always be pretty), with making sure we win a dozen games or so.

I admire your positivity, but im looking at rovers at a glass half empty scenario. And i hope i`m wrong, but i just dont have any confidence in Sandercock. Its up to him now to put me and the doubters wrong next season, but i just cant see it.
