Fatty, sorry, I mean Michael Smith would throw his burger down in disgust.
If there is no struggle, there is no progress. Those who profess to favor freedom, and yet depreciate agitation, are men who want crops without plowing up the ground. They want rain without thunder and lightning. They want the ocean without the awful roar of its many waters. This struggle may be a moral one; or it may be a physical one; or it may be both moral and physical; but it must be a struggle.

Rovers worst team in league for metres gained and offloads. 2nd worst in league for tackle busts and 3rd worst for missed tackles. Too add to that we're 3rd for penalties conceded and 3rd worst for handling errors.
Cant for the life of me think why we are where we are.
This is no shock to me. The first 2 is clearly how JM wants us to play, The problems arise when we have the next 2 lines added to that as we then have no 'B' plan.

I can kind of understand having a low risk game plan that doesn't involve off loading at every opportunity, but surely that plan cannot include not making any metres. Are we solely relying on penalties and 40/20's to get us up the pitck?
Sweet baby Jesus and the orphans, we're rubbish.

at last the whole lack of go forward and offloading is apparent.whether anything gets done about it is another matter. its a running joke with my mob that anyone who offloads will be droppped or loaned out so something has to be done
Not sure what your point is really, you finished 4th, then slipped to 7th, and will have to improve quickly to make the 8th this season, you appear to be going backwards.

I got it. You should do it more often, you're quite good at it, people who need to resort to the use of emoticons are dunces. <Do not insert "wink" here>

Is it just me? the season still has a long way to go - yes we have been very poor at times and we haven't always had the bounce of the ball or the benefit of some of the 50/50 calls from the ref. But the season is not over yet! Surely we can't be as bad in the 2nd half of the season as we have been at the start!!
We can still make the 8!! and yes we will miss out on the top 4 we all thought we could achieve at the begining of the season, but we are not written off yet!.
We are still in the cup and we have a winable game on Sunday - who knows maybe all we need is a little momentum!
