Yeaman was poor but what do you expect he hasn't played for 2 years the best bit was because he's that used to not passing that when he tried to it wouldn't leave his hands , the game went much the way I expected for all your injuries in the backs your pack was far too strong for us and I'd throw that French kid in from the start
einstien said insanity is when a person does the same thing over and over again but expects a different result
Can't understand some people we won, we got two points we are still in the top 4 tonight, we have beaten them 7 times on the trot and a very, very make shift side made Rovers look what they are, pretty woeful. As for Yeamo he put his hand up 8 days ago he volunteered when the team was struggling after he hadn't trained for 16 months he did it to help the team out, he played, we won so we got away with it. Thing is with another 2 or three points we avoid Leigh Toronto and the middle 8's whether we like it or not in the adversity we face at present that has to be the first aim. It was a passionate performance and the kids really stood up. Radford can still get us up for the big games whoever we have out there .

Absolutely correct. We won and that's all that matters. A 7th consecutive derby win should be celebrated not picked to pieces.
Crazy ricochets off the crossbar aside it was pretty much the game I expected to see. We played to our strengths and kept it basic with direct running, quick play the balls and offloads. We got done on the outside a few times but that was expected. Rovers are rubbish, and yes of course a better team would have beaten us, but we did what we needed to do. Dont think anyone can be disappointed with the performance.
Westerman was the best player on the pitch imo. Although Connor stole the show somewhat with a handful of world class plays. The 2 debutants did fine. Miloudi again showed lots of promise. Mini had his best performance of the year, if he played like that every week I would be in favour of another extension for sure. Yeaman didn't really work out imo. Full credit to him for putting his hand up but we got nothing from him that Hadley couldnt have done.

Completely agree - this is the worst set of injuries to genuine first teamers for ages and they are all long term ones. With the toughest possible cup draw we need to go all out for the 1-2 further wins needed to avoid the 8s which will be a real battle this year and do what we did at the end of 2015 with Fash, Masi and co and give the likes of Lane, Harris, Scott, Logan, Miloudi as much gametime as possible. We need to play the long game here.
While the game was low quality, I thought the effort was fantastic and the senior players such as Mini, Manu and Westerman led the way. Thought Harris was great and even if Albert and Sneyd are fit will give us a new options.
the other thing that to me was a real boost was seeing gaz ellis coming on with the water, to have a guy like gaz on the touchline is such a morale booster when the going got a little tough
