Long old afternoon ahead I think. Discuss.

Indeed. Just watched West Tigers get absolutely battered, could be a sign they're missing supercoach Hodgson or an explainer for our inherited mediocrity, depending how Friday goes for me.

Maybe it'll be like 2016 with the coach sacked at half time, then it all flips over and we play like a proper rugby team for two years.

Could do a coach swap with Wests.

Can't we do a swap with the rookie coach of the team who have just beat Wests?
He's started his coaching career like a house on fire and is familiar with our surrounds.

My team would be
Connor
McIntosh
Carlos/wynne
Griff
Swift
Reynolds
Gale
Evans
Houghton
Brown
Mau
Sao
Lane

Satae
Lovaduo
Fash
Bowden

Can't see Andre playing and I think ligi is wasted down the middle IMO his best game this season was at Leeds in the 2nd row he has pace and a good offload.

What’s wrong with Andre?

... knee.

Just a general point re: the Easter fixtures. I see eight clubs are playing on the Thursday night rather than Good Friday. Now I know it's just a day but seems unfair that the Hull clubs, Saints and Wigan don't get that option due to Sky Sports.

Who have you got on the Monday?

We usually get an away trip to Catalans on the Monday after a tough good Friday Derby but we've got lucky this time and avoided les Cats, away at Toulouse instead haha

Warrington at home

The only way to make that fair is for us to play Wigan or Saints on Easter Monday and Rovers to play the other

We'll be well beaten by a better coached team.

I agree. It's pretty much unthinkable that we could win.
For starters it's almost 3 years since they had the bragging rights, and reclaiming them is a big priority from what I hear. Particularly with a big crowd in.
They are in superb form, with descriptions including "perfection" - the HDM talking about their "stunning ascent". By contrast we have lost the last 2 with lacklustre efforts and in addition to missing Taylor, Tuimavave, Savelio, Cator and Shaul it looks like Satae is carrying a knock. God help us if we lose any more at the disciplinary lottery tomorrow.
Rovers have home advantage of course, and could be slating "timely boost" announcements on extensions for Parcell, Minchella and maybe Smith for this week. Wouldn't be surprised to see a TB on Mikey Lewis and his injury either.
Derbies are never to be savoured, except retrospectively after a win, but this one in particular fills me with dread. Need to keep an eye on the record we set in 2019 when Kelly ran riot in the second half as Rovers will be seeking to eclipse this I reckon.

If memory serves me right I thought when the club signed Ligi it was more to play at LF but due to injuries he was used more as a prop.

Certainly need to wake up for Friday and no offence to the team but fed up of hearing how well they’ve gone in training as it’s time they showed up week in week out when it matters as in in the actual games.

Consistency is non existent.

Still seems to be when the players decide to turn up in the right frame of mind, reading too much about they turned up thinking it was going to be easy, we've had it against Castleford and Huddersfield now already.

Identify the players who turn up with the wrong frame of mind and move them on, we may then find some consistency

The next 3 games in front of the Sky TV cameras.
Good Friday - Rovers. (a)
Easter Monday - Wires (h)
Following Sunday - Catalans (h)

It would be nice to have something to play for come the end of April.

Ain't it just a marketing video that SL and/or Sky have asked them to post?

Don't really see what the issue is

Just saying some games matter more than others... the day after we got knocked out of the challenge cup

I agree thats pathetic from the club
we needed to win yesterday and hopefully reach the final and win.Just ask Adam Pearson what that would have meant as a financial boost .

What if BetFred require each club to do something on Rivals Round this week?

Don’t waste your time

AP must be so angry at losing to Giants
we could have made close to 500,000 with a sell out semi final and a Final appearance

Don’t the players feel any shame at a pathetic attempt v Giants

BH should ask why he motivated the players to such a shiite house effort

what a crock and it just seems ok

please watch the 2016 semi final and see what it takes to make the CC final
we are zillions of miles away from the 2016 CC semi final type of play and mind set

AP seems to just accept this rubbish inconsistency
