I gave up banging on about moss,a hat trick against the old enemy after waiting for his chance, a try against wakey after coming on 15 mins from the end,and his only other appearance was the home thrashing by castleford when he was top metre maker.Not good enough for a wonderful team like we are,well done tim.

When we signed Vai Vai we looked very healthy in the backs but Heff and Minns gone for who knows how long? Shaw and Carney unlikely to see much if any of remaining games.Salter getting a knock means the cover is getting bare.Moss would have been a good option to have. Suppose we will go with Blair and Tomkins as makeshift backs and the youngsters but it's far from ideal

You have a guaranteed 8 points with those home games so one win on the road and you'll be safe. salford and widnes are gash and will both finish below rovers in the middle 8's.

Salford have been poop but Koukash seems to have stepped in to try save them Hastings is a good signing for them him and lui in the half’s and told they have a few more coming in they get a good full back and they ant that bad side there pack is strong

it looks to be in my eyes it will be the strongest middle 8s so far,especially if leeds are in there,made it last year with a weaker team not particularly playing expansive rugby and the 4 home games are key but lose 1 and it still could be squeaky bum time as widnes and Salford on their day can do us they wont give up their status without a fight and 1 superleague team will be in the dreaded playoff maybe 2

things like this just highlight what a nerd minns was and how badly he let the club and supporters down for an hours giggle

Hard to argue with that? For all the things that led to him reaching that point when you break it down that's what's left

Looks like we will have a lot of players missing v Warrington but we have to go for the win. We still have a mathematical chance of top 8 and a mathematical chance of bottom 2 so although we won't risk injured players we can't rest anyone.

A week later the picture will be much clearer. Catalans will be safe and Salford unable to catch us if as expected the Dragons have beaten Salford in Perpignan.

If we go into the derby with nothing to play for in terms of league position then yes I think we should rest Lunt, McGuire, Masoe, Mulhern etc.

We have seen how important our key players are and much as I would like a win over Hull I would rather we give ourselves the best chance in the qualifiers.

League position won't be sorted until the final weekend. It us vital we finish 9th at the lowest. Firstly, to keep momentum and second, to avoid being the first SL club to play Toronto away wgen no doubt all the 50/50 decisions will go in favour of the home side. No thanks, that is one team I'd rather play at home. Same with Leeds.

Surely if he was as good as you make out then either 1 of the remaining S.L teams would have offered him a contract, or the top 4 in the Championship for that matter. He was fast and could finish decently but that is about it talent wise. i could have scored the 3 tries at Newcastle they were on a plate.

Think you need to take the blinkers off now and again.
