Again much like the last couple of games the opposition are deserved winners but without having to play anything more than average.
We just look clueless and devoid of ideas, Gale & Reynolds doing nothing in the halves, flogging Houghton for 80mins, no composure, no ability to put opposition under pressure and what seems like a generally poor attitude. Really question what BH is doing with them at training as we genuinely look loving awful and nothing like a team just a bunch of blokes that have rocked up for a knock about. Was Evans injured or just not used again after his first short stint? If so bench use is pathetic again

What you mean Houghton offers attacking threat at the start must of missed that one not seen it for 15 years

Only thing I see Houghton do is..... Tackle

Hodgsons interchanges have been a joke since he got that job how many times hes left a sub unused can't do that in super league

Reynolds would be good at saints or Wigan

Rovers played well, get over it

They said? A rabble!

They won that game on enthusiasm, commitment and a dodgy knock on decision.

Better than us unfortunately.

Unfortunately that's not difficult at the moment . Pressure on BH now he has to make changes and drop some big names.

We are still above them in the league!

Not for much longer with Warrington, Catalans, Wigan and Saints coming up in the next month. Not beaten any of them in the regular rounds since 2019.

Wow people are now realising about Connor not been a very good full back

Don't tell Dave or Chris they'll have an heart attack

Can see a big clear out coming at the end of the season, with several contracts ending.

How many minutes has Evans played this season? I presume he’s on a decent salary. Making very little contribution to team at the moment.

There's no need to denigrate Rovers. They did what they needed to do missing a host of first teamers. We were full strength (bar Taylor and Cator). By the end of the month as mentioned we'll be in the relegation scrap zone. Quite how we're still 5th is baffling.

At least we nearly beat Wigan.

No what I mean is Houghton was ok early in made some good runs and got us the field but he ran out of gas again as BH continues to flog him for 80mins instead of spelling him. We just don’t change anything in a game either when things aren’t working. Why did we not take Houghton off, move Lovodua to 9 and Fash or Brown to 13. That would have least been a change to try and spark some creativity and give Rivers something different the think about instead we just keep doing the same old stuff that isn’t working in the hope it suddenly makes a difference.
Rovers were the better side and deserved the win but in truth we were abysmal and just too easy to defend against.
