We’re at the halfway point of the regular season and the next couple of fixtures feel especially pivotal. Today will be the difference between saying we’re winning 1 in 3 or 1 in 4.

If we lose, it’ll reinforce that feeling that we can’t beat decent teams and Wakefield becomes a must win to keep even remote hopes of 8th alive. Win and avoiding (or at least traversing) the shizzle 8s is that much easier to imagine.

Would love us to pick up 2 points today, but with Leeds last 2 results not being great, i think they'll be out to prove a point. A gallant effort by Rovers but a close loss is my prediction.

It’s hard to disagree, and make a strong case for a Rovers win. But while we can note the importance of winning most of the games vs the teams around us, if we write off 10+ games against decent teams, shizzle 8s avoidance becomes nearly impossible. That’s why pre-season talk of going with a mobile pack put the wind up me. Across the season we need to 2 or 3 surprise wins to have a chance. Halfway through and we’ve not managed to beat anybody outside the current bottom 4 - it needs to change soon.

Over the years we have won games when every body has wrote us off let’s hope this is one of them

Absolutely robbed by the officials today, don’t like to come on and whinge about the red after a defeat but it really was bad today. Atkin goes over after they knock on and he pulls it back, no advantage. An then the softest sin bin you’ll see all year on Mose, shocking. Totally outplayed that Leeds team and got nothing from the official once again. Forward passes are an absolute joke also. Only one thrown by them, what a load of tosh

got nothing from the official?
wasnt the penalty count 8-1 to you guys in the first half

Leeds discipline was shocking, they deserved to be on the wrong end of the penalty count. Rovers didn’t get the big calls, and I really don’t need to explain what I mean by that.

Yeah but the Leeds one shouldn't have been a penalty

Child's gifted Catalans 2 points last night by allowing them way too much latitude at the pub but refs aren't biased they're just useless. Until we get 2 refs we won't get better consistency. Far too much going on for one man to police effectively

it was pal but you were on the back foot and he didn't let you cheat, jones buchanan takes the , you were crap today and dodged a bullet from a middle 8s team, we played the better rugby and your defence just hung on , atkins non try and the sin bining won you the game, you cannot say leeds were the better team today can you surely

come on get real man they had a perfectly good try ruled out and you know it , too many games influenced by bad decisions , but it is what it is you just get on with it

It wasn't a perfectly good try though ad the player ran around the back of his own player which has always been a penalty.

Had less cats been penalised how they should we'd have won comfortably but that's the way it goes. Refs are useless not biased

Sounds like another brave performance in defeat.

Don’t think I can sum up my mixed feelings any better than that. I’m proud of the effort i’ve seen them put in this year, but I am feeling the first aches of despondency fatigue. Maybe that’s pathetic after so many wins in the Championship last year.

O/T 7 tries for Kieron Moss today. That must be somewhere near the biggest score in pro RL history. Even if the kicker was lining up the conversions quickly, York must have been scoring off nearly every possession.

whats the point ,you lost to the bottom team and were mediocre , this is a thread on the leeds game, move on and accept your teams performance yesterday,

Good game today, really enjoyed it. Rovers were the authors of their own downfall in the end with too much dropped ball and stupid kick decisions by players old enough to know better.

Sick of hearing fans moan about the ref, he didn’t cost us the game at all, we did that all by ourselves. Leeds were flat, there for the taking and we didn’t take advantage.

Yer there were some poor desicions but at the end of the day we lacked the composure to finish a poor Leeds team off. Too many wrong options taken but certainly cant knock the effort on show

I had the misfortune to see Offiah run in 9 against us at Central Park. He actually got ten that day, I'd gone for a slash and missed his 7th or perhaps his 8th?

it was a good battle today rovers probably the better side overall, but don't know how any of your fans can blame the ref, we got hammered in penalty count, you lot just got over exited at times and giddy when having to chase the game.the sin bin was a fair call, i was right in line of it. swing arm to the head, not malicious but you can't do that 10 minuets was enough. the ref missed a blanket leg/lift spear tackle on Ryan Hall, and even rovers fans around me said that should have been a penalty.
referring standards in the game are very poor at the minute but no way did the ref cause rovers to lose today. they got more for them than against.

leeds discipline in the 1st half was poor, and the ref dosent miss tackles, overall he was par for the season,a couple of coulda shouda, decisions cost us points,but another day may be other way round, but no your right don't blame the ref

Agree for a change,the worst gaff was maguire on the 2nd tackle inside their 20,but we let them off the hook,as you say they were there for the taking.

That was a bad one but to be fair to him the Leeds defence was almost impregnable and in his frustration he tried something different.

Perhaps you should of done more with the 8-1 penalty count the (robbing official) gave you in the first half.

Our performance was dire but I was making a comparison with poor refereeing displays

Mickey Mouse was poor today, that is pretty much agreed. He did not however lose us the game. We had several chances to post points late on but just lacked that bit of composure and direction to get over the line. I think as a team we have come on over the past few weeks but with quite a turnover over players in key positions on a week by week basis we still have a way to go.

fair doos, we may have to have a look at the aussies again and try 2 , but maybe it would double trouble, our video men are as bad ,close games , close calls, leeds will be relieved tonight they were outplayed and won so the ref cops it ,they will have their complaints also
