I've already given up on the playoffs, it would only be a miserable affair to participate in them anyway.

Rovers have signed O'Hara which I am chuffed about and I'm sure will make plenty of metres. G Horne will be a good addition to our squad although I can't see where he will play in the second row with Newton/Galea already there. Good to have yet another Hull lad in the team, there's quite a few now, Josh Hodgson, David Hodgson, Craig Hall, Scott Wheeldon, Scott Taylor, Sam Latus, Kris Welham, Jordan Cox, Jason Netherton....and many of them are first team regulars.

Two nice new signings there.

Any idea who your new coach is going to be? (if your getting one??)

Biggest rumour is Peter Gentle (assistant coach at Wests Tigers in the NRL) but I'll believe that when I see it!!

Interestingly Morgan is having absolutely no say in the signings that are being made and it is all down to the board as to who we are signing. I'm not sure if that is a good thing or a bad thing.

Just got back from the Bradford game. Was quite an entertaining match, plenty of action and bad reffing again! Rovers deserved the win but Bradford got off to a good start.

Just a quick comment on Bradford, if I may, I think the main reason of victory was that Bradford just tired very quickly as the game went on. I'm always surprised each year at what a big side Bradford are, plenty of weight in their pack and they always look daunting but I think the fitness struggles towards the end of games. Would that be fair?

I also think that Sammut is just the signing you lot need for next year. He will bring a lot of creativity to your team, which seemed a bit lacking in places today.


Josh Hodgson had a bit of a shocker for Rovers today but pulled it back towards the end by scoring on the end of his own kick. I still think it will be touch and go as to whether we will make the playoffs. It relies heavily on Cas and Hull losing.
 
I think you summed it up well, we tired early on and it showed.

Clearly some of the players know there contracts are not being renewed, combined with some being loaned out next season makes the problems worse.

KR deserved the win by far today, fair play to them. £75 for season ticket next year - first 3k only, still value for money by far. Already paid up and looking forward to 2012.
 
Although Dobson was given as Sky's MOTM I thought Bradford did extremely well to wrap him up and keep him quiet, along with Kris Welham, but in doing so they kept their eye off Blake Green who I thought was more influential as he was allowed a lot more room to create.

I've never put a players name and number on the back of my shirt before but Blake Green is going on next years!
 
The RFL need to invest some money into new referees.

Ben Thaler is shocking, they were going on about respect on sky, you have to earn respect and your not going to do that by being crap at your job.
 
Was at Wilderspool. Was a good game (you really hear the hits go in when its quiet!), finished something like 44-34 to Warrington. How come they haven't sold Wilderspool?
