But I bet £1000 if we had won the challange cup or been more successful in the playoffs bell would have played last week. Morgan is too tight at the moment and will only loosen up if he wins something, which is playing against him. Forget targets and play people in their positions, what if Dobson breaks down in his first game back? Bell could have 10 games under his belt and problem solved.

Then give him the 1st team to play with! they wont let in 50 a game. Nonsical argument.

Hes got to prove his worth before he gets a shout in the 17 though! you dont bring someone in like that unless hes doing well which he isnt.

Murrell scrumhalf, played 2 lost 2.

Murrell was Rovers best player today though amongst 17 of them.

Could have been the difference at 13 if bell had played 7.

Im not qualified to comment on his performances as i havn't personaly seen him play in the reserves, however, a couple of friends who have, say that he has been playing behind a well beaten pack which to be fair makes a great deal of difference, even Dobson has looked innefective at times in the past when our first team pack have underperformed.

I get it, I like murrell he's an honest 100% player but if you dont blood the young ones in proper positions and they see players playing out of position what message are we sending? look at my post about charnley.

Just got back a bit ago.

There were no significant fundamental problems with Rovers' defence or attack and with the fair share of possession in the first half, Rovers were comfortably the better side.

The second half was a continuation of the theme of our opening games and that is one of unforced errors resulting in defending our own line for too often to do anything well when the team do eventually get their hands on the ball.

So rather than being concerned about specific aspects of attack and defense, the bigger concern to me is why our games seem to be following this trend but I've no doubt that as soon as Rovers cut out there errors to a moderate level you'd expect from most sides, then this team will show what quality there is in it.

No half-back in the world will make any difference what so ever until the team start holding on to the ball.

Without Dobson, Hull KR's mediocrity starts to show.

You have a point but i do get frustrated with the way they are playing.

Agree but bell didnt play so players dropping the ball with him playing or not playing scrumhalf is irrelevant.

Not at all; Rovers attacking play in the first half was outstanding.

Rovers losing the game today was nothing to do with a lack of ability.

We have the players to do the business and i believe it will all come together all sides have theyre of games and we are having ours now, there was to many factors that went against us in the second half, first half was better than last week all put together.
