Could our luck be any worse. First Smith is of after a few mins, then they score possibly the luckiest try you’ll see all year. The rugby gods don’t favour us do they.

jake perfected that one in training

Been banging on about getting keiren moss in the team sadly i fear 3 tries wont be enough to keep his place will it tim.Instead of us being void of pace at half back,ever thought of quinlan to halfback and moss to full back,where he played very well last season,never happen will it tim,lets keep lee and blair at half back,who haven't played badly but are both void of pace and aren't half backs.Quinlan played half back in oz,so has had experience and moss is a good fullback.I know you cant help the injury situation,but why not try a half back who can run ??

My post on monday and i thought i was being sarcastic about moss being dropped,if he is not injured and available,after watching rovers since 1964 sheens has lost my faith in him,how can he justify his decision to drop moss.What does he have to do to keep his place.A disgrace imo.

Honest question, would you play him ahead of Carney? It does seem harsh if you have dropped him after a very well taken hat trick, but what else did he offer? With your pack as it is you need guys like Carney to carry the ball and punch some holes, and would he have scored those 3 tries anyway?

Or is there room for both of them in the team?

Didn't realise Shaw wasn't there either. It does seem an odd decision then. Maybe more likely that he has a knock.

Bye looking at the 19 man squad he’s probably going to put Wallis or dagger on the wing with Carney but is Carney 100 % fit?

I would play one of the backs in the halves to give us a bit of pace.Quinlan to off half,moss to full back would be one option,moss played very well at full back last season,and quinlan has plenty of experience in oz at half back.The halves is a key position in all teams,take a look at other teams halfbacks even in the lesser teams,miller very quick over a short distance,lui,quality,huddersfield brough sharp and annoying.Then look at us,blair who has been great for us and lee,neither who could go the full length on an open field.I think atkins has potential but sheens appears to prefer lee and blair to him which i find baffling.As regards the question would i prefer moss or carney,i would prefer somebody who is confident,in great form 10 tries in his last 3 matches versus somebody who is coming back from a shoulder injury a month early.
Other than the fact shaw is a very good goal kicker,moss is far better than him,shaw couldnt tackle the wifes sunday dinner,chris chester knew that,which is why they thrashed us twice,just attack the shaw wing,6 tries in the 1st match and i lost count in the 2nd match,and no iam not moss's agent.lol.
