They have returned!

When’s the open top bus parade

53 missed tackles against Salford and 159 so far this season. Do we even bother with defence/tackle training? Absolutley pathetic stats IMO and needs addressing straight away otherwiss we'll be bottom 2 for sure

1st win for 9 months and were only 2 points behind wovers with a game in hand ,just saying

The old faeces soon pop up. It may be the start of a run of good form or it could go belly up at Hudds?

the knacker sac returns celebrating a 14th consecutive game failing to beat anyone in 80 mins ,you must have been in agony poor chap

Let them have another good week as a win at the giants would suit us, I recon we will be in the bottom half with them. I think our season will be interesting one way or the other.

Still nice a bit of fresh fish. Used to go to Hornsea beach many moons ago overnight fishing. Happy days

The last couple of seasons the team has achieved its main goals, and we’re up and running this season with a couple of wins, including a dramatic last gasp victory in the derby. Also, we are missing a few and we’ve got a few still settling in. Plus we know we’re unlikely to be challenging at the very top of end the league, so defeats are going to happen. This, isn’t all woe is me. But what the poop is it with us chucking away big leads quite as often as we do? It’s like it is in our metaphorical DNA, the flip side of the coin to ‘never write off the Saints’, whoever is playing or coaching. ‘Never bank on the Rovers’. Does it just feel like it happens to us more than to other teams at our level, and much more often than we do it to others? Or is it a real thing? Has it happened so often that the crowd gets tense when we go 14 up, and that transmits itself to the players? Or something like that? Bloomin’ heck.'" this tickled me viewtopic.php?f=59&t=533423

Mild Rover is a modern mod. Dropping the Poop bomb as a Rovers fan relating to Rovers failings couldn't offend anyone could it? There is far worse lurking around this site

The still picture I have seen certainly suggests it was a try, but it can hardly be classed as conclusive. You don't know if he has already bounced it before his hands ended up on it. Did he try to catch and then ground it or did he just put his hands straight on the bouncing ball?

We typically reserve that for after we win at wembley. Unlike your lot that have one for a 50-0 drubbing.

Where have you been for the last six months

The still photo of Tomkins scoring is inconclusive. Did he knock on and then touch it down or squirt out after touching it down?

The reason we lost is lack of creativity which is criminal this season with our two halfbacks behind some pretty big forwards.

I will point out the obvious reasons we lost....

Hall running out of the line for his missed intercept.

Every time Tommy Lee was on the field we lost momentum in attack and weaker in defence. Drop Lee and play Lawler and Atkin at Hooker, they both offer a lot more than slow, predictable Lee (who also threw that stupid long pass that went to ground).

The pass on that attempted interception by Hall was so far forward as two other trys was in the second half, not that it counts for out now...
