We all saw our shortcomings this year. Everyone bar the coach and board. Webster can't polish a terd, but that's what he must do. He's taken on this role because of the mess that Chester (as well as others) has left us in. But let's be positive, Hudge didn't lose any money last year.

You don't need to apologise for a correct assessment, we were dreadful.

Until you cut loose at the end you didn't need to do anything special, we were lucky to turn around only twelve down, you bombed quite a few situations.

Hopefully for you guys this will give you a bit of a boost to get back to winning ways, god knows we need one of the Yorkshire clubs to stand up to the evil and most foul Red Rose.

I thought Cudjoe was looking a class player again and obviously Jerry is top drawer, thought Ta'ai was unusually quiet, Brought gave his weekly kicking masterclass and I was really impressed with Hinchcliffe, took yards for fun out of dummy half. Kruise Leeming has the silliest name in World rugby, if he had better hair he's be a real favourite.

We've clearly made significant progress since that 38-6 disaster in pre season

[list
I'll swap you Horne Clarkson Donaldson Larroyer Cockayne and Shaw for Wardle.....and you can have some cash too.

You wouldn't even get Jacob Wardle (Joe's younger brother) for that lot !!!

Hmmmm. Maybe Rovers should approach you to scout for them cause the current lot are shocking.

We gave you Lunt, Eden, Hodgson, Horne, Walker, Carlile etc.....what more do you want

going on that, it's gonna be a long, hard season for rovers, offered nothing really and but for our errors and hicks' whistle could and should have been 50+
but glad we are off the mark and in good style too.

good to see Shaun Lunt is still too good for us

Lunt has been found out- a one trick pony. The stick I got when he played for us and I said as much! Dont need to worry about covering the ruck when he's playing because you know he's not going to run!

Is the trick you refer to the one where he's on sick for 4 months at a time? We fell for that big style.

Why would you think I know?

I consistently say I have no idea.

I once met Mike, he furiously denied that he ignored my emails, he had ribbon ink from an old Remington all over his pudgy hands.

I refused the shake.

I think only one man save us now, his name is Shaft.

John Shaft.

I see what look Dixon was trying to go for last season with his tash

Until they cut loose all they had to do was play basic rugby and we never looked like winning even when it was close. They ran harder, got quick PTB's, made easy metres, started us off deep in our half and dominated us in defence. Our PTB's were slow, we only got upfield via penalties then spilt it as soon as we got decent field position.

Their forwards bullied us. We thought we were light in the pack before the season but I think today's the first time it's showed up. Brought did what he wanted. Every time he got the ball had time to pick his pass/kick, pathetic. Must have been a surprise tactic by them caught us off guard.

They wore us down and cashed in at the end. At 12-6 after we scored we had 5 mins where we played with energy and looked like we might score again. Once they saw that off we never got a look in. At 18-6 we were dropping out under the posts early ish in 2nd half, we were all hands on hips trudging back, looked beaten already. Only 12 points in it but they didn't look like they believed they could do it.

Minns was impressive, Greenwood went well, Campese was quality for 40 mins. Other than that errr.. Bad.

Get Dixon in the team. Shaw is just as bad under the high ball and defending with half the pace. Couple of times Thornley put him in a bit of space he didn't have the pace to go for it down the line. If we insist on ignoring sio on the other side at least have a strike weapon there. Madness.

Cockayne made errors but the thing that bugs me is his pass selection. They don't show up on stats or error counts but so many times he gets the ball out the back and messes the pass up or picks the wrong man. He hit Thornley a few times yesterday where Shaw was completely free. It's so poor and costly, wasted chances.

Who's the black private dick that's a sex machine to all the chicks - SHAFT - who is the man who would risk his neck for his brother man - SHAFT (can you dig it?) - who's the cat that won't cop out when there's danger all about - SHAFT (Right on). You see this cat SHAFT is a bad mother, shut your mouth.

They don't write em like that any more, Goose. Right on, Bro. Coz you da man.
