and if that's your overpaid near starting 13 you would have been better playing your reserves ,

you've had your day in the sun, you better get back to worrying if there will be another derby next year,

A few observations on last night just to get them off my chest.
A dramatic occasion being a Derby and in that weather but probably one of the poorest quality games of rugby I can remember seeing. If I see another game where all the tries are so scrambled and scrappy I will lose interest.
We were poor and Rovers slightly less so, so the best team won.
He was not the reason we lost but Hewer was poor. I do not watch Rovers so do not know anything about about Jewitt but what a cheap thug. At least a couple of late, off the ball tackles which along with the crusher tackle on Griffin and Tickle's charge in to Taylor's back when he was held should be reviewed by the disciplinary committee. If not then a few fellow professionals should give Tickle a good talking to down a dark alley because that was simply dangerous. I like Tickle from his time at Hull but that was poor. When Hewer called Scruton over for his second high tackle he seemed to give him a one word telling off - comical.
Wet slippery conditions so for god's sake why don't players carry the ball in two hands? Our ball control was pathetic and probably cost us the game. We made good yards and in the first half at least barely finished a set.
Our creativity in attack in the absence of Kelly and Connor is non existent. This is not a criticism of Sneyd who does a different job.
I would be happier with Crooks and Hall in our squad than some of the youngsters we have persisted with who I do not think will make the grade - not as regular first teamers but good back up squad members.
We are on a poor run but I am glad I am not a Leeds fan.
How does an 80 minute game last 2 hrs and 10 minutes?
The roof leaks above my seat in the West Stand!

So will Adam Pearson, after all, you’ve made a loss this year or are on to if I’m not mistaken?

So true, he must be loving it, God rest his rlfans soul.

I don't pretend to know if we are or not, last nights gate wont do us any harm,

Hope your flight was okay - gone somewhere nice?

I think Hull will be alright next season. The lad Matongo is going to be a player, I think - but he looks knackered at the moment. Taylor is fearsome, but he’s walking like somebody carrying about four injuries - painful just to watch. Bienek looks like he could eat three shredded wheat, from the clips i’ve seen. That said, I think you either need to adapt the way you play or sign another proven SL-level prop, if you want to be better than ‘alright’. If they’re fit, I think Connor, Kelly, Sneyd, Houghton is your best spine. Connor would almost inevitably play some games at centre or 6, so Shaul would still be an important part of the squad. Houghton could do to be spelled more nowadays too.

What would be a fair price for Jordan Abdull, I wonder.

We still need to be bigger and stronger, although Tomkins and Greenwood in the second row would/should help, for all that Greenwood has become worryingly error prone. Another in the mold of Mose Masoe would be nice too.
If Crooks can maintain last night’s form through the 8s I’d be very happy to sign him for 2019. Danny Tickle - best worst signing ever!

Now if we can just stay in SL...

… £500k for the aussie trip, allegedly.

I would like to see him and Atkin together behind a big Rovers pack in the coming years.

We can swap Jordan for Robbie M no fee needed.
