| This is all on Hudge. If performances don't improve by the Wakefield home match by the end of March, that should make up his mind. Tho I bet he's not a happy bunny at the mo.

No I don't, hence the reason for my question. This isn't about squad quality, its about how said squad are being coached, "improved", directed & motivated.
Tick, tick. Tick..........

| I thought you looked a decent team tonight however Greg Eden would frustrate the hell out of me if i was a KR fan. Looks decent in attack at times and comes up with the odd magical play. However he is up there with Kevin Penny for just basic mistakes and costly ones at that.

How long do we sit on CS? Until it's a god awful job just to survive?
Remember 2 team are relegated.
London aside who else is worse than us ATM? Cas-Nope, Wakey-Nope, Salford-Nope, Widnes-Nope, Bradford-Possibly.
If we are not careful we will face the unthinkable and if anyone thinks it's not possible I suggest they wake up to it PDQ.

Did you get rid of all the voices in your head? Do you now miss them and the things that they said?: |

We haven't lost to Wigan yet.

| Expected to lose tonight but the manner of it disappoints me, just the same as it did against Leeds. Started slowly but got to half time level and had a try ruled out and bombed a chance or two.
Came out a different team. What happened at half time I don't know but the consistency of our performance within the 80 minutes is crazy, and annoyingly repetitive. And it will continue to cost us if we don't sort it out.
Ok Saints came out strong in the opening 20 of each half but we must be expecting that and we really don't help ourselves either, its hard enough without being your own worst enemy.
The half back pairing still doesn't look great, even acknowledging they are only 4 games in. We know what Burns is about and I think with a good organising 7 leading us around the park he would be effective. Unfortunately Keating hasn't stepped up and taken control, hes in and out of the game. Example- put a great kick in downfield to put them under pressure. Didn't do anything of note for our next 3 attacking sets.
Finally defence is still a massive problem for us, primarily on the edges. Ok we have had many changes from 2-5 but our sliding defence is awful and has been for such a long time I just don't understand how CS has failed to improve this at all during his reign. The other issue is when we concede one try, we are susceptible to shipping 3 or 4 on the bounce and losing the game in a short space if time. Almost like a boxer getting wobbled and just cant get to the end of the round hanging in there.
Didn't realise how many problems we had until I started typing and I can think of more but it would depress me to continue further.
Im struggling to believe CS can get the best out of us I just don't think he has it in him. Time is up on my watch, although I will continue to support the team of course. Say we beat Wakey and Bradford, does that then mean were all ok again and CS gets another month of patience? I think this squad is better than what we are seeing. Believe it or not it is improved from last year, but we cant see that whilst the same flaws in our structures and gameplan stay with us.

| Biggest concerns after watching tonights game...
Defending the opposition kicks to the in goal is dismal.....
Keating is nowhere near the "class act" many thought he would be...
Sorry, but I think Eden would look a bit shaky in Championship 1,.... so out of his depth at this level..

it's not so much the losing against the top sides but the manner in which we lose, we don't seem to be able to compete with them.

| Will somebody please explain why there is a consideration that Rovers squad is better than last years? Their best player from the last 10 years has been replaced by Jimmy Crankie, Poore is exactly that, Costigan is slow and overweight and Jamie Langley is and will become another RL journeyman due to his lack of effectiveness. Truth is the squad IS NOT as good as last years by a long stretch and after 5-6 years of overachieving you are settling into your rightful place between 8th and 12th.
Hudgell has massive delusions of grandeur and building a new stand that will add to the capacity for 1 game a year is ludicrous. 7k for a home game against Castleford was quite pathetic, however, I would like to congratulate Rovers on the 15% increase in pass sales....then again 15% of not a lot is, erm....not a lot.

| Hudgell needs to act now,Sandercock is out of his depth and comfort zone.He's probably a great assistant but not a head coach.

| You've been pretty hopeless since sandy took over. No doubt you'll have an easy run of games at some point and pick up some wins, including one or two unexpected ones against better quality opposition. When it happens, everyone will be patting sandy on the back, confirming how all of the players say he's the best coach they've ever had, how he's great at developing young talent, before your inevitible late season slump when your top 8 aspirations go up in smoke.
Face it, he's useless. He's worse than gentle and pearson binned him without a 2nd thought. There's no chance you will go down but currently it looks like you'll be somewhere between 9th and 11th.
As for best rovers team since you came into SL, no chance. Your forwards are mostly past it and unfit, your half backs nowhere near good enough, your 3/4's are amongst the worst in the division and your full back is hopeless.
Hull's squad isn't great but there's not 1 player at rovers who would get into our starting 17
