True

i must say yes we missed brisco and fox colbon and so one but they broke the line down the middle where our regular players where we looked tired as a team and very weak quins played well and were always on there toes sidestepping we got beat simple as its not the end for us we will kick on. leeds lost a few on the bounce and no1 wrote them off we will just have to take it and get on with it no1 wanted us there anyways so we have to prove them wrong again i arnt worrying still a long way to go

I stand to be corrected, and like yourself would like to see more British players in the game but perhaps you could point to any other S.L. club who have achieved the above after just two and half seasons ?

Did Fox have any England caps before he joined Rovers or did his development stop two seasons ago......and he has suddenly been given the chance. !!

I’ve never understood those who think overseas wingers are a waste of a quota place. All Fridays game did was highlight what a massive contribution wingers & full-backs make these days.

Check out the Opta stats & see how many wingers & fullbacks are in the most meters category. Virtually all of these play for teams at the top end of the table. 5 of the 6 wingers at Rovers, Quins & Giants (the “surprise” teams of the season) are in there. This isn’t coincidence.

Kick returns & exit sets are the most important thing wingers & full-backs bring to a side (something totally lost on the army of Calderwood lovers down the road). If these guys can make good ground on the first 2-3 tackles they allow their forwards to conserve energy as well as getting the side into an attacking position. Scoring tries & being defensively solid is just a bonus.

With no kick return on Friday Quins found it too easy to kick early & pin us down. For me Briscoe, Fox & Colborn are the biggest single reason for us being where we are in the table.
