Can't remember saying I was happy with it I'm just not delusional

Tbh, delusional never seems to be a Rovers fan's trait. Acceptance of anything with a shred of effort seems to be.

IT WAS A POOR PERFORMANCE ITS NOT THE FIRST AND IT WONT BE THE LAST and I'm sorry you were disgusted at me saying you sound like a Hull fan but nothing you've added since convinces me otherwise

I didn't over react last week because I could see that Leeds being rubbish contributed as much as we did to the result. Equally, I'm not going to need suicide watch after that. Any semblance of a competitive game disappeared before we got a set with the ball. They look class and that's without Carney. We are not going to get any consistency with our squad this year. Once you realise that then you can de-stress.

At least it will be warm when we get to see the French shaft us again next month.

Couldn't give a fig tbh. I've supported Rovers through thick and (mostly) extremely thin. I've been to Chorley Lynx, Whitehaven, and various places like that watching rovers. I've nothing to prove the likes of you.
My posts are a disappointment of most rovers fans seeing the glass half full after a season like we're having right now.
It needs fans like myself to have a different view to the airy fairy views that most seem to accept with rovers most years.

I've just got back to Pick Your Ring 15 minutes before usual. Little or no traffic on the way back helped and leaving 10 minutes before the end was a revelation. It was unwatchable for me in the second half. I was embarrassed by our ineptitude. Just had to get out of the funeral parlour that was Craven Park tonight.

I can't make my mind up if we were so bad or Catalans were so brilliant.

After some deliberation I've finally decided. Good as Catalans were and they made it look effortless at times, we were a carbon copy of our preseason performances and our home game to Wakefield. This time we were generous in coughing up possession, slapdash in defence, had a guy playing winger who gifted our opposition 3 of the first 4 tries and we all seemed half hearted and short of ideas. Add in to the mix some dubious refereeing decisions against us and no luck at all on the night and the result was a foregone conclusion after 25 mins. We did well to get zero and Cats should have put over 50 on us.

I don't buy this 4 games in 12 days mullarkey, thin squad and lack of squad rotation opportunity as a series of mitigating factors for tonight. Same for most teams. We just didn't turn up. The first 4 tries were so soft, our heads dropped.

Kieran Dixon is a TOTAL liability. He is not learning and keeps making the same mistakes. No brain and no courage. We need to get rid of him.

Onwards and upwards to the Middle 8s. Bring on 2017.

We've all been there watching 3rd division rugby 1-0 home defeats to barrow which makes me take a SL defeat and a poor performance with a pinch of salt I'd love to see the days of the early eighties again when I was a kid watching but it's not going to happen anytime soon

I agree with you, this is an awful season, but none of us are "better" fans than one another.

I stood behind some fifteen year old kids at Headingly last week and they were incredibly passionate about the club.

It's fine to say that people have "airy fairy" views, but what solutions are you offering?

You and I can't, unless we win the lottery, go mental and hugely invest in the club.

I know I'm not supplying and answers here, I just think it's a little more complex than saying evrything's wrong, we need to change everything. And I've deliberately over egged that phrase.

I know people say it's the same for all teams but I disagree Leeds who lost all three Easter period games had probably the easiest fixtures we had a hard schedule on comparison which is why tonight went pretty much like I expected

The eighties was a once in a lifetime period. But what we are going through right now isn't far off what we experienced in the early nineties. And we all know what happened after that period!
It needs fans to challenge other fans at least, not accepting the bog standard average that we are experiencing right now. Otherwise.....what's the point??Hell, we finished 4th comfortable once. What's gone wrong since those days!

Tilse MUST go. I've defended him occasioally but....

On average he makes 5 metres, apart from 2 or 3 runs.

He offloads once per game.

He makes 2 or 3 big tackles per game and then is ineffective/falls off the rest.

He played well in the middle 8s, but cannot face up to proper forwards in the SL. He is at best a championship level player. We seriously need to get rid as his attitude is affecting the others. We need a pack leader not a passenger

Who shall we sign then?
