get my mum in at half back, she could lead a team around to beat cas.

so long as you can deal with our exemplary display of 1 man rugby then you'll not concede.

you'll also run in 40+ through the middle of us

As easy as that, just ask Leeds/Wigan/Catalan

Re: Hull KR vs Tigers : Thu Mar 21, 2013 3:50 pm  

alternatively, ask warrington/bradford/hull/london who ran in a combined total of 154 points

Warrington ??? The same team who we outplayed for 60 mins ??? Only cas will lose all year at wire.

The last 2 weeks have been disgusting granted but saying hull kr with no halfbacks only have to show up to put 40 on us is a bit silly.. They lost to Salford a few weeks ago, hardly Melbourne we are up against. If we can rediscover our early season form this is a very winnable game.

Re: Hull KR vs Tigers : Thu Mar 21, 2013 4:07 pm  

it is certainly a winnable game.
although I witnessed a more winnable game 5 days ago, and saw one of the most pathetic performances I've ever witnessed at top level rugby.
it's easy to say "if we play like that we will win" but that's not how sport works.
You could see that the confidence that the guys had against (especially) wigan has been completely drained by the embarassment at Hull - there was barely 1 well worked play last week.
Confidence doesn't just come back, especially after the coach is publically criticising his younget players

Agree with all you said about last week, pathetic isn't the word. It however is not beyond the capability of this years squad to come out at hull kr with fire because of last week. Iv seen that as much as iv seen teams folding after a poor performance, just saying we're gonna get rolled over by 40 (which could happen if we play like last week) because we performed poorly last week is IMO ridiculous. Iv seen cas lose 12 on the trot at the start of the season, by the logic you use that means we should have got beat every game in the season with no confidence.

As I say the last 2 weeks have been abysmal, lets not forget the fixtures before that where the squad has shown some great signs of improvement in all areas.

Re: Hull KR vs Tigers : Thu Mar 21, 2013 4:33 pm  

yeah I agree that it's not impossible to turn things around - I'm sure every team does at some point (other than when a gulf in class is fairly evident)

My point is that what signs have we that it's due??? I'm sick and tired of hearing Millward blaming every man and his dog except himself.

to say "last year it wasn't my team" to excuse every poor performance is rubbish - I'm sorry, but that squad of players made the play-off''s a couple of times, there's absolutely no reason behind the performances last year that is valid.

I was disgusted to hear the radio interview after last week where he singled out our youngest player and debutant as having a bad game. How is he meant to turn his game around based on coaching like that???

the signs are that old habits are being slipped back into - and the tactic alst week of "one man drives" for 80 minutes is only good enough for a P.E. teacher taking a year 7 team.

let's hope we can get our strike players turning it on on Sunday - but they need a game plan to give them a chance

Re: Hull KR vs Tigers : Thu Mar 21, 2013 5:48 pm  

so you were abject we were abject its down to who can drag thier performance upto the dizzy heights of rubbish whoever that is will win at a canter im still going for 48 all

Sounds rather similar to the situation at Rovers. Both Rovers and Cas should be performing far better than what they are.

Seems we mostly agree lol, not sure regarding Millward I said give him 15 games this year to sort it and with 3 points after seven games I must admit it doesn't look good and for the first time Sunday I came away wanting him to get the boot, as you say the one man rugby was bad, the conditions called for a little caution but we had enough ball and position to do more than what we did. A poor attacking structure was a big part of losing to London and that's nobody but Millwards fault.

Re: Hull KR vs Tigers : Fri Mar 22, 2013 9:05 am  

the play where we started on their line and lost about 30+m of territory, I couldn't help but wet myself laughing at.

It just makes me wonder what they spent 30 hours practising this week when I watch teams play like that.

We do genreally agree, with tweaks on most points. I just never fancy Cas to turn bad form around - and 7 wins in 35 games doesn't inspire me.

I've no reason to be confident on Sunday

And how confident are we anyway when we say "we've got a chance cause they've got players missing"
