He seems pretty good at promoting his reputation, and business acumen. But I'm at a loss of what he actually does at Rovers. Could you tell me??

I don't know what he does. Then again, it's not me claiming he isn't showing his worth.

Last night we had 17 fit players at the club who had a go, they were not good enough I have watched every game of the Catalans that has been on sky this year and I think they look good for the grand final we look good for the bottom four that is were we are

Re: Catalans game : Fri Apr 08, 2016 7:29 am  

I have read the posts on last nights game and some of the comments are reasonable points. Yes they tried,yes trying is not enough, but let's be honest about the comment no squad rotation who where you going to rotate the following players are out injured
Shaw
Mantelato
Horne
Salter
Campesie
Kelly
Larroyer
Donaldson
Boudebza
So with those players missing who else is there to put in NO ONE
We do not have a big squad or in fact a good enough squad to compete with the best and to hold the Dragons to 12 points in the second half took guts
If Mantelato had been on the wing instead of Dixon who is just not good enough, not big enough or brave enough in defence then with just one of the nine missing it could have been a different game IF and there is that word again half of those missing were fit it would have been a different game
It is going to be a hard remaining end to the season but if Rovers get all the nine fit I believe we will be in Superleague next year but unless they improve the squad depth it will be same same as money is the problem as there is not enough of it at the club

Possibly. He's playing for Bradford at the mo. I notice you didn't dispute that he is better than Tilse. My son calls Tilse the BFG because of his lack of aggression.

I know where he's playing, just signed a 2 year deal hence the transfer fee comment. Lovegrove is playing Championship level RL for a reason.

We have no worries really,terry will be back in a couple of months and we might get another 20 mins cameo off him.He is certainly value for money,and a nice bloke.

Lovegrove's injured at the moment and has been having a few problems with concussion.

That's the point I was making 3 really hard games in 7 days with no chance of squad rotation we just hit the wall last night but you can't say this because apparently your just making excuses but at least we have a cup game on Saturday that will be a stroll before we have to go back to SL games

Re: Catalans game : Fri Apr 08, 2016 8:38 am  

With the new relationship with Hull FC why isn't Jamie or Neil knocking on Adams door asking for help? Rich Whiting could do a job for you along at least 5 or 6 of our other squad players

Re: Catalans game : Fri Apr 08, 2016 9:02 am  

In fairness you have a lot of your squad injured. But how many of them are in your first team if fit? 4 ?

Wasn't it the same team that won at Leeds last week, apart from a twenty minute spell from Campese?
