That was horrible.
Lots of things have been rightly highlighted. A step too far for our young forwards.
Minichello destroyed Ollett. Cox needs an attitude transplant. I think playing with the big boys is beyond him. Green has all the ability just needs some fire in his belly if he wants to be a decent prop. Time for him to p#ss or get off the potty from now on for me.

The problem has been and continues to be the ruck. We can't win it. Allgood Tilse and Walker can. The rest struggle. Our markers are on the floor too often. Opposition play the balls too fast. This is why we go backwards and get less yards each game. Our play the balls are much slower and we can't scoot from the play the ball as their markers are set.
Line speed is a red herring as teams vary this through out a game.
Why the f#ck on the 6th tackle in attack and defence can't Sio and Dixon swap places so Sio attacks and defends kicks as the winger. Seen other teams do this. Why can't our coaches advocate this? Sio caught one kick and ran it back for a try.
Love McCarthy´s effort but he needs help in the back row.
Unless he was injured Blair's effort on Saturday was awful.
Massive month ahead. We have the players to get us in the eight if we can get them on the pitch.
Allgood has been a huge loss.

See Jake and the troll family have crawled out from under their stone. Taken a while. See if they are back under it at the end of June...here's hoping as they are f#cking tedious.

After seeing his reply to my post i had a good look and read through it to see if any of it was unrealistic or unreasonable but then i realized the guy must just be a bit of a rounded door handle

At last everyone is starting to see him for the d1ck he is.

I still like him.

No one is trolling because we feel sorry for you

I was merely laughing at your clutching of straws

It wasn't unrealistic and to an extent I agree that take that many players out of any side and they'd struggle. But it was a bit pointless, the real arguement for me is how would we have gone at full strength in that game and I still think we'd have struggled purely down to our lack of any real size throughout the team.

At full strength us and FC are pretty matched both playing to there potential I think its an even contest. Now us against the top 4 sides at full strength and playing well I think we lose them all.

I suppose the injuries are what they are and there is nothing anybody can do about it but with half our squad in the stands until we get them back and a bit of confidence we probably won't see what this team can do, but we have knocked Wigan out the CC we was the 1st team to beat saints so there is plenty of positives but a lot of negatives as well like size as you say and our defence doesn't seem to be getting any better

When fit rovers have 6 players 6.4 and taller and all over 17 stone.to pick from.so not really lacking in size?

For me its the wrong type of size, at 6'4" 17 stone isn't bulky in fact its quite light, we need more the Mick Weyman type of prop who can really punch holes

I'd like to see an impact prop, a hole not filled since Micky Paea departed. It wouldn't be the area I would look to as a priority tho' ... either finding a replacement for Lunt or working a deal for Lunt for me (subj. to extent of injury)

Well,Allgood,Walker,Green,Cox and Tilse all have the height so would they want them to put on 1 to 2 stone and be like Alex Walmsley at Saints .
I suppose it depends on the shape and style of player Chris Chester wants in his team.
The other player over 6,4 is Tony Puleteau.
