Massively disappointed of course I am!! Not downhearted though. 


But, Man we have come a long way, because 30-0 down last year and it would have been 70!! We never gave in and never stopped trying but they were as we all said all week so much better prepared for the battle after 3 years of building than we are, as someone just said after 8 months under Cartwright. But, the transformation is still positive and I'm convinced this team is going to be good!!! .With a bit of luck we could return to the heady days when this City is the capital of RL. We've just got to hold the line and be patient.   Pryce only off the plane for 48 hours will be fine no doubt about it, you could see what he offers as a running half as the game wore on and he  could even end up being a real icon of the club. I bet he's buggered!!!  Herman is massive and about to end up a hall of fame if he's not careful but in Seizer we had our best players so far having his worst game. That is Hull FC isn't it though!! I thought incidentally, that Rapana tried too hard today and fluffed his lines a bit sa well!! But he's still a class act! 


With our second year of re-building to come and the players we have signed already we will be better but we have now to focus on second row improvements and perhaps (Litten providing, who I'm convinced will make a great centre if he can keep injury free) a centre or two other wise I'm certainly not down hearted and its great to listen to so many fans after the game still being positive and understanding where we are at. Could have done with Barron and Cartwright today for a bit more of a threat and Cust  rotating with Pryce would have been good, so fed up but not down hearted and no complaints but the next few games will be really tough however, we have ,as long as we continue to show passion and try our best, to keep the faith.  I'm happy with the wanting the effort and the way the team 'Get It' More Budweiser needed!!!!!

We looked a long way off yesterday, but we’re not second in the league by accident nor witchcraft. It’s all there, and JC has done a better job of fitting it all together than anyone expected at this point. Hope he can get the nose bleeds seen to. Roll on Good Friday, we owe them one!!!  ">https://www.rlfans.com/5e898903-984f-4a5b-8330-9b93cdbb02a0">

I think Litten did a lot of good things just feel he needs to be better feeding his wingerNot too downhearted either. Some silly errors some disruption. We’re still on the way up and Rovers were very good. We will have learned that Cust was a big miss, Moy needs more time, Ese Ese is great, Pryce is a good acquisition, like Eseh, Ropana is human etc etc 

I do like the idea of cust at 6 and pryce at full back once balmforthnis fit and can spell burough off the bench. Gives us much more threat than we had yesterday

The issue for mine, concerning Rapana was his reluctance to jump for the high ball, I wonder if he has a knee issue, which is causing pain on landing.. If this appears to be the case, maybe swapping positions with Litten?KR's passing from both Hiku & Gildart to create their tries was sublime.
I felt disappointed, because when Lewis went off, I really thought we had a great opportunity to win the game...
Going forward, I thought Ashworth could do a job, on the left edge, and maybe Aydin on the right?

Think losing Lane yesterday affected us a lot more than I initially thought it would. Not only meant that we lost our only recognised second rower for the game, but by moving Ashworth there we also lost our impact off the bench, which was huge noticeable when the interchanges happened.
All said in hindsight, but we'd maybe have been better moving Chamberlain to second row, Rapana to centre and using Moy at full back since he was sat on the bench. Fully understand trying to minimise the number of player movements and at that time we had no idea Rapana was going to go on to have his worst game of the year. Moy also looks a bit ropey this year, so things could have ended even worse, but I like Moy's pace and that's something Rapana just doesn't have. Moy could have been there in support of Pryce. 
Obviously again, all said in hindsight.


Also need Cust as interchange hooker next week. I do like Bourouh but we don't want to flog him for 80 next week. Need to start getting some fresh legs on at 9. Around the hour mark yesterday when we had all the momentum would have been a perfect time to get another 9 on to start running from dummy half.
