We are playing them at a good time, the Castleford cancellation means we are going into it fresh. If we seriously still believe we have top 8 ambitions then its a must win game, lose it and I think it is guaranteed middle 8's (if it isn't already!)

Their game was cancelled as well so there’s no advantage for Rovers. The travel is always an issue and I don’t think we have enough grunt in our pack to get a result.

Didn't get to see tonight's game as out of town Anything out of ordinary? As for les Cats probably a valiant loss? Would take one win from these next 2 away games if offered it right now.Win both and season takes a different turn

It's not normal to moan, but last night was deserved moaning. We were not good enough in the 20 though. Hope you get smashed tomorrow.

Cats have a lot stronger line up, than when we played them last, Hope we dont try and channel all our plays thru Danny, i would like to see Atkins take a bigger role, and need a lot faster play the ball.

Pretty despondent at that result, tbh. Probably to an irrational degree.

Just try got to try to enjoy any wins that do come along as joyous little miracles, I guess. It’s unlikely that much, apart from pride, will be riding on the outcomes of games until August, providing an opportunity to minimise emotional exposure through spring and most of summer.

A disappointing night. We had them on the flanks but played too reserved. Good to have Mags back and add Lunt back in we can turn Huddersfield over and take it from there.

Current issues stem from recruitment. Hate to say it but Mike Smith and Chris Chester brought in a better squad than Jamie Peacock and Tim Sheens.

Tbf, the market was a tiny bit more buoyant and we hadn’t been relegated back then. There was less excuse for 2016’s recruitment, except perhaps if we’d spent all our money upgrading Campese’s contract in 2015.

Could/should have won. Didn't as not ruthless enough or good enough on the day.The better of the chances but didn't convert.Saying all that I don't think it was any better or worse than how Wakey performed for their win there? Fine margins and we needed something extra to get over the line. The defense looked fairly solid Carney and Heff improved.Atkin went well so a few positives but Thursday will be another big ask
