A few points.

First it wasn't babysitting it was I didn't think it was fair to leave the wife for an away FRIENDLEY with a new born.

It didn't offend me, just thought it was strange for you to mention my baby in the only two posts you have replied to, but thanks for the apology.

Never claimed to to be a super fan, I do try and be positive and don't like negativity off those who don't go to games and only post when we lose but no where to be seen when we win.


I'm certainly not always right I've been wrong many times and will be in the future, I have strong opinions and think I know the game pretty well and try not be too biased against Rovers, I could be wrong about Clarke, this is why I asked the question, but as it stands you have no proof that you are right, you are just guessing at the moment, let's be honest with the RFL making decisions any thing could happen.

Just because he was born in the UK, doesn't mean he is exempt he needs to appeal to the TFL, and as I've pointed out they doesn't seem to be any examples of this happening for 8/10 years.

Be interesting to see what happens, not sure why Rovers need 9 overseas players though, but that's the desperate situation you find yourselves in.

Lastly if you don't like my posts or find me arrogant, press that button to ignore my posts.

Heard from a reliable source Quinlan has been deregistered.

Didn't sheens say during the week in a interview that he will be back within a month?

Yes I said that to my mate, his friends father in law is a sponsor most of what he's told me has come true tbf

Well if it's true it's a big worry because our current full back is struggling

I wonder how far away Marsh is from fitness now?

Bradford fans raved about Moss as a fullback, maybe when Carney has served his ban, we'll look at that option. Sheens doesn't seem keen to do so though.

Lose a lot of creativity without Quinlan, I am all for giving moss a chance doesn't seem comfortable on the wing

I've a bad feeling we'll be stuck in this division for a long time to come. Too many half d players in this team.

if the bottom 4 teams in SL stay the same as current that's a tough set of fixture's Catalan away Wire are a decent team still and Leigh and Widnes can beat anyone Widnes hard to beat on there own pitch if you give any of these teams the sort of start you have been giving these championship teams it will be very hard going if you have to go to France twice hard on the fans also the middle 8s are looking a very tough set of fixture's for all the clubs on current fom how do you fancy your chances will you be healthy and have your full squad available this could be the key for all the teams

I appreciate your unfamiliarity with the format, but you may be surprised that not all our games against SL sides will be away from home.

Hope that helps.

Don't let the facts get in the way of a good rovers bashing from the dark side

there should be with a bit of luck 7 to 8 players to come back with maybe another addition or 2 ,Castleford hull and leeds apart ,super league this year is very average and shouldn't hold any fears for the championship clubs 4 home games helps and although not firing at the moment expect to at least be in the mpg

One of the problems is that some players haven't had any game time coming into the 8's. It seems like Sheens is over protecting the players, I've serious reservations that we'll be totally undercooked when the business part of the season starts.

Don't know about us been apart from any of the others except Cas who have been superb your right when you say every team have been a bit poor in parts every team seems to have the ability to beat any team in the comp I don't go into any game at the moment confident in victory is that a good thing for you or a bad thing ? I guess its all about confidence and momentum and having your best players fit but possible trips to Catalan and Widnes are tough if you get some momentum and a couple of good draws for the first rounds get some points on the board early I can see you doing a Leigh like lastt year and coming up but if your unlucky enough to get a couple of hard fixture's straight away and have nothing to show for the first 2 games it could be a tough ask a fresh and fit squad been all important

Bit of a rough patch at the mo. We have a lot of our 1st choice 17 out, Shaw and Charlie are having howlers and Sheens is experimenting with positions.

I would hope/expect it all calms down in the next couple of games so that July we get a more stable squad with our 1st choice 17ish. Once Carney can play and JBF gets a bit more fitness, neither Shaw nor Moss will get a look in. Moss may get a chance at FB, but if Quinlan returns he'll miss his chance. Then get Heffernan and Minns back in at centre and the whole team is transformed.

I'd rather have this rough patch now than in 6 weeks time. And don't forget, our alleged top class SL side lost to Oldham. This currently patched together team didn't. Plus the weather again. Pray for sun the rest of the season, especially the mid 8s.
