Dropping Caro would be ridiculous, yes he had a shocker and probably froze a bit at the end. He'd bombed a couple and they were no doubt on his mind. He's made that mistake and hopefully he'll learn and develop that facet of his game. Up til now he's looked good so we need to persevere. There are very few options, Craig Hall isn;t a winger his defensive positioning is as poor and although a lot wont admit it he had a shocker himself last night. No real clangers but every move died when it got to him, he never moved the ball on and looked slow in his decision making. Not a dig a CH but he had an off one like a lot of them.

Rovers need to watch wire on Saturday to see how to beat a team. Patience is the key, starve a team of the ball and they'll eventually crack. Dobbo needs to look at that and learn, he disrespected the oppo with his kick over and forced passes when the sensible option was to go through sets and keep piling on the pressure. That would make defending all the more easier.

Caro's inexperience showed a little last night, but dropping him will do him or the team no favours. He's played well in the previous three games.

Dobbo does tend to over complicate things a little, but when you're the only half back in the side, he has to mix things up.

We all hoped Blake Green and Dobbo would be a good combination, but what with dobbo out for half the season in 2011 and Blake out in 2012, it didn't really work. Time will tell if his combination with Travis Burns will work, but here's hoping....

FWIW Con Mika getting back to what he did all last season (knock ons) instead of the big hits from last week against Widnes didn't help. Caro and Eden are still young and learning, it's more disappointing when the "experienced" members of your team don't lead the way correctly.

you cant coach bottle,end off

I agree, all I said was you don't lose 'great' fans as the poster implied

I am fortunate to not have to work weekends, but I would be the same as you if I did, not out of not wanting to go to watch matches, but for financial reasons. I wasn't saying I am any better than anyone, I miss games for a multitude of reasons, rarely because the played 'cr@p' the week before. I will miss the CP derby this season, which is gutting me, but I have no other option.

Having looked at the Stats which can be misleading,but 1 forward who can hold his head high is Mickey Paea who always makes plenty of Metres and his tackling has improved no end!

I'm a rubbish fan me.

Didn't go last night, couldn't be bothered.

The first two points are spot on, if Caro's dropped his confidence will be gone completely. Not that I've seen them first hand but his supposed performances so far should see him get another chance, surely? As for Hall, that's just him sometimes it works, mostly it doesn't..

You're also spot on about respecting your opposition, all you needed to do in that second half was complete sets and kicked sensibly, you'd have walked that game.

You dont play professional Rugby League if you're a coward.
Don't confuse inexperience with cowardice.

Don't think he called him a coward? He said he didn't have bottle. Can give you a few example of those, Karl Pryce being first on the list.

Drop Caro and you might as well pack him off back to london. Give him his head, tell him the errors of his ways and let him shine.

At last a sensible post

Not sure anybody should be 'giving him his head' after last night!

Many on here speak like he is making his debut in RL, the bloke was useless all year last year and will continue to be useless this year.

Don't tell me he can't be dropped simply because his confidence will be dented. Don't make me laugh the kid had a nightmare and cannot stay in the team for sake of keeping his pocket up no chance and he is not. The only one

Pecker!!

So would you drop Eden as well? Mika? Even Paterson? All were equally rubbish.

Fwiw I probably would give mika a scare cos sometimes he is so frustrating with his basic errors but Caro was far worse with the bombed try been the final strawfor me!! Childs play!

i think caro will be left out anyway, hall to the wing and burns at 6.

east hull fc fan, you have had quite a lot to say over the last 24 hours, your team must have won this weekend.

now do us all a favour and disappear.

That's how bad you were, we lost too and we're still on here.




It's all good fun, some sad sacks take it a bit too serious though.

Compensating, innit?

A shared bond of disappointment and forlorn hope, offering each other pathetic consolation.



I'd not necessarily drop Caro punitively - he's looked decent enough amongst the dross until yesterday. Burns return might means he misses out, but he's not been dramatically worse than a few others over the course of all the 4 rounds.

sandy will turn him into the next martin offiah

He may well do, but first thing he needs to do is have a look in the guy's shorts to see if he has any balls. If that had been Fox or Cockayne it would have been a certain try.

I don't get consolation, I just think it's funny.

FFS seen it all now, Fc fans telling us we should have kept Cockayne!!!!
