So you would've rather have signed a player, who isn't as goodas a player than the one we have signed?
Signing less quality of player is a good thing? Yet when we have signed players that are better then what we have already, you complain.

Right. Ok. We shall leave this conversation there ....

No point in being a better player if you're rarely on the pitch. Clearly Rowley doesn't think he's that great as he isn't getting a game at salford, as isn't burough and same with abdul. People need to open their eyes to what we're really signing

Not everyone is injury prone. Rovers have barely had any injuries this seas9n. Recruiting the right players and the correct S&C regime minimises the chance of injury.

Signing injury prone players, skimping on S&C is asking for trouble

It’s professional rugby league -a lot of players get injured eg at Sts, Wigan, Leigh too. Cant keep blaming S&C. Blaming goes on a lot. If you read Grixs HDM he alludes to all the players carrying the normal aches and pains at this time of the season. It does seem that unlike football rugby league don’t do medicals before signing. Could be wrong there. There has been suggestions but no concrete evidence that we’re not as fit as other teams. Hopefully that will be different next season. Will this influence injuries ?- time will tell

Hope we come out firing and give London something to think about.
Get them on the back foot from the start.

Some interesting team news today.

Re: London calling : Sat Aug 17, 2024 10:55 am  

It’s obvious London are going to throw the ball about like the May game and try to win it out wide. It’s a smart plan because we’ve really struggled to defend wide and usually go down to 12 men for periods due to poor discipline. They’ve been targeting this game for months

They will come up with errors throwing the ball about. When they do it it’s up to us to respect the ball and build some pressure. So I fully expect us to get a card early on and absolutely panic each time we get the ball and never complete a set playing right into their game plan. If they go well ahead we can maybe look forward to a rally late on. Frustrating as I think we are better on paper but seem to beat ourselves in these situations.
