I agree with all that. Keating took his try well and think he will get better Hodgson and Welham should be dropped both very poor but for me burns needs to step and take control now

Very fair post.

Fan patience is going be essential at the start of this year, we've turned over too many players for my liking, (although a lot of it was necessary) cohesion isn't going to be there until at least six to eight games in. Having said that I thought the support was pretty good yesterday after such a disapointing second forty.

Sorry for that drift, forgot the thread title, can't be bothered to comment more on Welham, unfortunate for Disco, that's a potentially bad injury and he didn't really have many in game opportunities and suffered an unfortunate slip for Moon's try.

I thought Keating went well in the first half and put in a couple of intelligent and well placed kicks. I'll give him a free ride for the second half seeing as he was on debut.

In the second half Keating actually saved certain tries on more than one occasion with good scrambling defence. He took us around the park quite well in the first 40 and then obviously as we were starved of possession in the second half he was peeing in the wind in terms of being able to get us going in attack.

You have a pretty decent side IMO. I predicted you seventh, and Hull ninth. I think the point is (and I am not pointing fingers at anyone specific, or necessarily on here) but a significant amount of Rovers fans were getting way too carried away. The gulf between FC and KR at kick off was huge to some, Keating a world class NRL scrum half, Weyman a human bulldozer etc and FC's team full of garbage.

The reality is probably that the teams will, as usual be fairly closely matched.

I've just watched the tries back on Sky and it looks even worse for Welham than it did from the East Stand. A truly pathetic display.

Hopefully a lengthy spell on the sidelines will follow, but I bet daft lad picks him at the weekend.
