Hudderfield were missing Lawrence, Brown , O'Donnell, Fa'alago , Lunt , Mason , Wardle and Ferguson, 8 players , 4 of them internationals , probably the leagues best second row pairing and six who would walk into Rovers team...

Depleted..??? Slightly..........

Brown rotates the squad week in week out, the 'lesser' players get first team often, The squad they put out against us would walk into the Rovers team, just like they walked through us at times. If your upset with yesterdays result you may need to pinch yourself and wake up.

i thought vella, the young lad on debut and webster all played well, there were times in the game for the first hour when if you had scored next the game could have changed... The young full back sherriff was exposed against Brough the best spiral bomb kicker in the league he looks capable of being a good player to me.... we had a couple of players raleigh, horne etc who had big points to prove to NB and played above themselves... it was a very good game of RL far better than the Hull v wigan match.... if you tighten your defence you have the flair to beat most teams... question of whether your coach like ours knows his best 17 and gets the chance to play them....

Almost forgot at times that Cox was on a debut, didn't look out of place at all.

The commentators summed it up when they suggested Brough could have played in a dinner suit and just kicked his bombs when needed, probably true.

We said the same. Something's not right with Brough and Hudds at the moment. Dropped from kicking duties too, after Brown slated him last week.

Aye , winning mentalities not allowed at Rovers at the mo, its great to have aspirations to be not very good but thankfully the men who matter and pay the wages dont share your attitude....the bullet is going to be bitten shortly because JM is now doing more harm than good...
