Sorry guys but it is true what some of them have said, we did have 4 out of the top 10 missed tacklers in our team, we've known about their defensive frailties for a couple of years now yet they have gone backwards.

I like the way Newton tries to and does get under their skin but sometimes he engages his mouth before his brain and talking about defence coaching is certainly something Rovers cannot be proud of.

It is, but is apparently now the official RFL line. Not sure when the change occured as I have an email from a few seasons ago that says the exact opposite.

Seems odd that the teams with the poorest defences aren't very well represented in the missed tackles stats. For example, Salford, Catalans & Wakefield had only 2 of the 25 worst offenders between them in 2010. How did they let in so many points?

One of those four is Rhys Lovegrove who is also in the top 8 for tackles made. Stats don't always tell the whole story.

try tellin mrs b that, they tell her whatever she wants to twist it to be

well i wont understand if you dont answer

You are Mrs. Coffee Cup and I claim my £5, welcome back from your holiday

You would because you're blinkered.

On the rare occasions she actually utilises this board for it's intended purpose; to engage in debate, then goes back to her default behaviour of engineering points/quotes out of there context to create a side debate which continually results in numerous and repetitive derailed threads.

All I can say is I'm pleased to see the mods have put an end to her parasite impulses on this board...

couldn't agree more, it was tedious at best, i'd have banned her long ago

agreed MrsB did like to derail threads but sometimes she did speak sense too, and did like a bit of banter i might add. some people are so far up there own s they cant see that.

sometimes?????? always and always to make some pointless point as if she'd got one up on someone.

Mrs B is not able to join us at the moment, so it is currently a moot point. Going in to the new year, we'd like to find a way to retain the banter, humour and openess of the board, without every thread degenerating in a cross-Hull bunfight. The way in which that balance is best achieved is under discussion. There is a determination it won't be drifting back to what it had become recently. Hopefully we can attract back some of the sensible, intelligent posters who've maybe drifted away, while still having a laugh. That'd be good for everyone.

Come back Cabman!!!
