Catalans game : Sun Mar 17, 2019 1:34 pm  

Nearly KO and no thread on this? A good win will send us onto a tough run in good spirits but as always the nagging doubt of our ability to string decent performances together lurks. You would think on the back of a nilling at home they will be pumped up more than normal? But this is a game we will hope to win.Cant say il be staying to watch the most boring team in both hemispheres play Batley as it's bad enough seeing them every week on TV. I wish Batley well.

Disapointed that I can’t make today’s game but at least it’s on TV, I don’t have a clue what will happen which I suppose is the way sport should be? The rest of the weekends results make judging our form difficult when teams we have beaten come up good results, Just hope for a close game & a good showing on TV. Come on you reds!

Shaw Atkin Rooks Garbutt is the bench? Worrying

Child tried his utmost for you but you still got done.
Best team won although I thought you were gonna spawn it like you did against us when Hall got the interception.
You couldn't handle Langi and McGuire needs to knock the puddings on the head.

Can't fault the effort but how many minutes did Rooks/Shaw/Atkin Do? Similar feeling to the Salford loss,defeats in that manner are tough on fans and the team. Not going to moan over much it is what it is.. Lawler Garbutt standouts . We looked much better with Atkin on instead of Addy but again the plodder at hooker gets 60 min and the class player only 20. Baffled.

Just got in a typical rovers performance,look in control then go to sleep,back in a winning position and blow it
Junior vaivai is a luxury at centre,skillful,but way to slow for a centre,makes kris welham look like hussein bolt.

Amazing insights. I thought Rovers tried their nuts off despite only having 2 props. Disappointed but could/Should have won. We didn't.. I shall console myself by watching Pauli Paulis demolition job of a try from Friday again.

We spawned it against wakey as well,how did you get against them? Do you know the match is 80 mins long,because after 65 mins on friday your faithful had mostly gone home.

We had a few good moments, but lots of mistakes as well. Catalans were the better team for most of the match, despite being pretty scratchy too, but having got ourselves in close-to winning positions twice it was frustrating to see it drift away. Still, not a toys out the pram sort of performance imo, given the conditions.

I wouldn’t say the Sky coverage was biased but it was very much focused on Catalans and what this or that meant from their perspective. Bit wearing as well.
