The only thing that kept us in the game were the Bulls mistakes. Any decent side would have hammered either of the ones out there.
I hope we don't get in the top eight; why prolong the agony any longer?

I hope we do get in the 8, why throw money away?

Don't understand the criticism of Taylor on here. He had a decent game apart from one knock on early in 2nd half . Did well to score his try despite nearly having his head took off (should have been an 8 pointer). Agree that experienced players didn't perform. Withers spent most of the game complaining to Child (who actually had a half decent game), Galea is thinking about home, and O'hara missed too many tackles. On a sour note I think James Green may cop a ban for raising the knee in the tackle. Play offs will only be extended by one game ,if we make it, and the money is needed. Bradford are not the only danger especially if Wakey do us next week.

I must have been watching a different game to most of the people on hear i can not under stand what the gripe is yes the senior players were crap but take nothing away from the young lads they look good and will i hope get better and for not wanting to be in the top eight you are

the young lads are looking really good, be interestingto see what squad numbers some of them get next year.

As much as id 'like' us to finish in the 8, i just dont think we deserve it, just because of all the stuff happening at the bulls, you cannot take anything away from the players who have been admirable through all their worries and imo fully deserve to finish in the 8

My post has been deleted too . I thought this was a country with freedom of speach ?
I thought the mods on here drank larger not biter

Bradford fully deserve to be in the 8; you can't blame the team and fans for the miss management of their finances. Our players don't deserve to be in the 8 simple as that. The players didn't earn the money; why should I hope we get it?

It was a massive gamble to play Graeme Horne and it back-fired as the Bulls exploited his lack of mobility. Even then I still thought he out enthused the likes of Withers and O'hara, who IMO are showing 'end of season' syndrome.

Like I said the other day, Rovers aren't going to make play-off qualification easy! By my reckoning 2 wins will secure 8th but one win and a 'damage limitation' performance against Wigan might see us in. In fact, Rovers could kill two birds with one stone by beating Wigan lol!

If he brought Craig Hall back into the side why didn't he put him in at stand off? He is far more creative and affective there. He did a great job covering there earlier on in the season.

It appears he has Morgan syndrome hall is non existent at centre

Lovegrove wasn't available to defend for him, ergo - Hall to centre.

I can't understand why so many appear suprised that we lost last night. We were playing a team that really were 4 points ahead of us in the league, away from home and who are in their best form of the season (at home). With all our youngsters I would have been pretty amazed if we'd won.
It seems a lot on here call for youngsters to play and then moan when the performances dip which is sure to happen with so many in. This last night put more pressure and responsibility on the senior players. I saw plenty of effort from the whole team particularly in defence. Our problem was a one dimensional attack due to the amount of key players out and this was compounded when Murrell went off.
I personally think Sandercock's tactics were senible with what he had on the pitch which is why we got so close to them.
If we play with that many youngsters in the side in the next 3 matches (through choice or not) we will lose all 3 but them players will gain valuable experience...can't have it all ways.

I agree to a limited extent.

However I think fans tend to focus excessively on desire - overvaluing it in comparison with intelligence and ability, making their complaints seem more reasonable/justified and being reluctant to acknowledge that the team is genuinely pretty mediocre.

We are a bit short on passion and leadership, but it ain't the only reason we're struggling at the moment - I'm not even sure it is the single biggest problem.

tbf - 5 of the 6 games we've lost in the last 7 have been by 6 points or less. Even low on confidence and with a couple of really insipid performances we haven't been miles away.
