Let's just wait and see! Why are people writing is off after 3 friendly games?!

We played well at Cas and should have won! Then beat batley away. The Fev game was a let down but by no means a hammering!

Let's start positive eh!

I dont thin people are writing us off, ifts just been realistic and on paper we havnt either signed as well as other teams or made enough improvements for people to think we will push for the top 2. After the first 4 games we could be laughing or looking for a new coach imo.

I can't see us better than 4th / 5th. I'm disappointed with our recruitment under KH as well as the playing style. Pretty crash, bang, whallop with no plan B. I'm thinking we maybe skint as the squad looks like a squad out together with what we can afford to spend. I've said it in another post that we just don't seem ambitious and the team lacks a couple of true game breakers of star quality, all of which Fev, Sheff, Leigh have. I hope I'm wrong and happy if I am but watching v Fev was no better than last season and that worried me slightly.....

I dont think you have signed as well as everyone is making out, I mean I would have taken Liam Kay and Armstrong but the others Im really not convinced are good enough to push Leigh in to the top 2, but you have a really easy start and that can make a big difference. You should be sat pretty at the top of the table unbeaten in 6 games when its time to visit the Shay.

You may have paid your bills by then and be allowed to play there again

Moore, Briggs, Worthington, Ellis, Cording and don't they have a huge centre coming over too...? Don't know all there squad but they'd all get in at Fax in my opinion....

Re: Next season : Mon Jan 27, 2014 9:44 pm  

We didn't go to Fev so can't really comment on that game. Batley away was just a slog in't mud, but I thought we played really well at Cas after a poor first 15 minutes so it's all up in't air at the moment. As someone says let's see where we are after the first half a dozen games eh? Up The Fax! Barum Top, Exmoor Beast, 6.6% Mmm!

Cant see it been much different from last season. Would loved to have seen a bigger name signing ie Andy Kain. We look to have recruited a lot of younger players who we can develop.
Slight improvement on player recruitment Browny a good signing. Other teams have recruited well especially Leigh and Dewsbury.
1 Sheffield/Feathersone
2 Leigh
3 Halifax
4 Batley
5 Dewsbury

By far the best signing Rovers have made this year is the full time conditioner from Warrington
