Even if we had a full team out we would not have won we do not have props big enough when they brought on the big guy we were beat and had no chance we need big props that will have a go

Absolutely dead right. The quality of the league as a whole has diminished over the years. Is there one player in that starting line up last night that would of got in to, say, the saints team of 2006. Probably not i'd say.

Walmsley probably would have got a bench spot. The problem with HKR is stability, they always seem to change half the team on an annual basis, most of the successful teams only bring about 2 or 3 players in, you also always seem to have a purple patch in the season, have a few injuries exposing your strength in depth, once you go beyond your 17 then consistency free falls.
Best of luck for next week.

I will give you a name TRAVIS BURNS we brought him in & he left (not rovers choice) ripped us to pieces last night. Blake Green to Wigan, Scott Taylor brought him to the first team & left for Wigan, Beaumont left for saints & the list goes on, Chester can't be blamed if we have to rebuild time & time again, We can't just pluck big props from thin air they just arn't there. We have the makings of a team that will compete with just a few minor adjustments & a bit of luck with injuies. I for one am happier this year with some of the rugby we have seen than te last 4/5 years. We are not the only team this year that has taken a beating & tere will be a few more handed out befor the end of the season.

we do not have props big enough

Last nights prop quartet were easily big enough for Super League. Its fight, aggression, motivation & technique they lacked (apart from TP).

Dane Tilses attempt to chase Swift to the corner was the highlight of the game, said it all really, no effort or desire.

Think about it. They had nothing to play for last night. Already doomed to Middle-8s.

Next week will be vastly different and I'm betting Albert Kelly has the bloody game of his life - he could beat Warrington off his own bat. This stage was made for him.
