Another defeat due to terrible discipline, it cant always be the refs fault and i hope to god Sandy doesnt use that excuse this week. Cant believe we kept it so close for so long, we never gave ourselves a chance to win it, territory and field position must have been 80-20 in their favour 2nd half. For such an important game its so frustrating to play like that. We made Cas look good which they, no disrespect, are not. That said we are very poor at the moment, and these kinds of games are ones we have to win if we are going to make the playoffs. Cant help but feel disillusioned this evening

I didn't go, its the first away game i've missed. As I just cant muster the enthusiasm for this season now. As I said in my last post. After next weeks game, our season will of officially ended. Sad times ahead i'm afraid.

A loss next week is inevitable. Penalties, penalties and more penalties, when will we ever learn. Imagine what Wigan would have put past us today??!! Sandy tho has played his card today by not playing Eden or Patterson because of next week. But i'm afraid it wont make a difference. We have gone backwards at a considerable rate, and it's getting worse. Lets pray there is investment around the corner because we are in a terrible mess right now.

Summary of post match interview- We have 8 players out we had no choice with team selection. Cas had a full strength team apart from Webster. We spent 80 mins defending our line and we showed good commitment and effort. Eden was simply dropped for Hall at FB.

No responsibility taken for the performance really. Shock.

You had 8 first choice players out and the ref was completely biased against you. Hardly sandy's fault

He sounded ready to cry.

Didn't think he sounded too bad TBH. Sounds a lot more positive than he did earlier this season (after the Salford game for instance) and for most of last. I think he knows his future either way and is obviously relaxed about it

Didn't he say something like no one is guaranteed a place and then a couple of minutes later say you had eight certain first teamers out?

And there was knack all wrong with Eden its just that Hall deserves his chance at fullback.

Nick Pinkney's opinion was interesting. He said the penalties Rovers concede are by and large correctly given (in the context that the ref made no difference to the result today) but they result from Rovers being "completely out of control" in defensive sets, resulting in panicky poorly executed tackles and other infringements.

Is Chris Chester the defensive coach? i'm not sure. But as Sandy gets it with both barrels after most the defeats this year, Chris Chester as defensive coach (if that's what he is) should be taking some of the criticism also. Just what on earth does he do?
