| Quote ="His Bobness"Maybe but IMO when Cas field something close to their best line up they are nobody's pushovers on their own ground as Leeds & Wigan found out earlier this season.
This isn't meant as any defence of Rovers indeed it would have been interesting if Rovers had been smart enough or good enough to create a level playing field possession wise but we were not.
In no way do I wish to excuse the failings of Rovers as I have said we were not smart enough or good enough but the goal line defence was a highlight and kept the score down plus we got a couple of tries against the run of play.
The idea that whenever one team wins comfortably against another team it is entirely down to the failings of the losers and nothing to do with the qualities of the winners is I suggest, unlikely.
If the Cas squad stay relatively healthy I predict there will be other losing visitors no doubt equally unmagnanimous as yourself.'"
Are you suggesting that a rovers side with 8 or 9 missing players are on a par with leeds and wigan?

Agree with most of that,just the McNamara bit,nothing but a silly rumour 100%.

No far from it. For the avoidance of doubt I suggest nothing more than Castleford were very worthy winners today and I predict more home wins for them as the season progresses.
The only purpose of my post was to give due credit to Castleford.

| I've been a supporter of Sandy's this season, It's not an easy job he's been constantly compared to JM who had a bigger budget and has fans who have unrealistic expectations(including me) but yesterday was an absolute pathetic performance, once again we never got near Rangi Chase for 80 mins and the amount of penalties we give away is ridiculous and it's constantly the same every single week. On the way home i put the radio on to listen to our coach who couldn't want to speak to the media any less. He gives 1 word answers to any question he dislikes. It's a joke does he not realise that speaking to the media and keeping the fans partially informed is part of his job?? And as for dropping Eden and citing the fact he constantly makes basic errors and nobody is immune from the drop. Yet we have had 5 minute Mika giving penalties away and making simple handling errors all season? He claims we are down to our last squad member yet drops our 2nd best attacking weapon? Luke George looks lost at centre and clearly isn't a centre imo Hall should of been at centre with George or Caro on the wing. If we lose next 2 games our season is over tho i agree we have a load of player's out but so do others and it can't be used as an excuse.

| The dropping of Eden then moaning about not having any fit players left really annoyed me. And he chose to play George at centre who didnt look convincing to say the least which isnt surprising seeing as though hes a winger. With the squad so stretched he only really had a couple of big decision to make on the team and he got them wrong.
He doesnt seem like someone to give the players a boll**king or motivate them whatsoever. Fair enough its not always helpful to criticize to the media but his whingy comments that get regurgitated every week lead me to feel like he just doesnt have it in him. Cant see him getting a new contract and if he does i dont think it will be received very well

| Just too downhearted to post yesterday. Only 2 points but somehow it felt like a significant result. Burns shoulder is clearly still a problem & Mika looks like a player whos future is sorted elsewhere...& how many times have we put the kick-off out of play this season?
Got to take some issue with Pinkney. Our failure to control the ruck didn't cause most of the penalties yesterday, that only really started when fatigue set in as a result of all the penalties. Total hatchet job from Roby but that doesn't excuse our performance.
I like Sandercock & I'm not sure anyone could do much better with what he has had at his disposal but days like yesterday...
Highlights in the end were Craig Halls brilliant early break & some new / not often heard songs..."You've got to live here, we get to go home" made me chuckle

| A reality check is needed, we have a small squad full of young inexperianced players. we are what we are & i support them & the coach, the same players from yesterday will be better by a mile next year & even better the next year if only the club has the nerve to stick with them. This won't be our year but if the coach goes it will be back to square one & next year will be just the same no matter who the coach is.

| We lost because of Sandercock, not Roby. Our coach is so far out of his depth he's licking to bottom of the pool clean.
The smell of coffee sounds like a better option than wasting my time on Sunday afternoon's watching the same mistakes every week en route to our worst defensive performance since entering SL (worse than last year, which was a new record).
The words of his introductory fans forum ring in my ears every soft try we concede. Knowing what the problem is isn't the same as fixing it.

| Sandercock is sounding like Millward before he walked the plank, using every excuse but blaming himself / his team. Daft stuff like kicking on the second tackle (kicking out on the full), failing to make touch with a penalty, kicking out on the full from the kick off were the type of daft mistakes I'm all too used to watching Cas make, but they allowed us to build pressure and gain a few repeat sets. He obviously isn't too aware of our team because we also had Millington missing yesterday, so not quite "full strength". I thought Kr were quite fortunate to avoid a man in the bin or the infamous team warning and ultimately the 8 point margin flattered you. With that being said, it's a long season, you definitely have a chance at the 8 & you are still in the cup. After losing to Cas, things can only get better for you lot.

| Dont be too disheartened KR fans! Can't see Sandercock lasting at KR much longer. Bags of talent in your team there really is, Dobson, Burns, Paterson, Paea, Hall, Welham, all talented players and I really think the main cause of your performances is the coaching. Obviously the players have to take the responsibility for the performances on the field but i think off the field is the major problem, never liked Sandercock. With a better coach your team could be a threat in the play offs. Wouldn't write yourselves off against us next week either. Potential banana skin for Wigan on Sunday. Who knows which team could turn up, the one which beat saints or the one which we battered. If its the one which beat saints (which i hope!) it will be a belting game! Hope you finish above FC aswell, hate that side of Hull.

Your defence is woeful. In 2009 you only conceded 516 points in 27 games but have already conceded 448 in 14 games this year. With the bulk of your more difficult games to come, it will get a whole lot worse.
Defence is about attitude. Good to see tony rea not blaming anyone but his players for their battering on Friday
