A week is a long time in sport. : Mon May 21, 2012 10:21 am  

Good Friday, we went to BV and whipped Wakefield. 8 days later, we're embarrassed in the cup at fev and lose the man of steel for 3 games. Yesterday we get totally smashed by a kr side who are 8th at best. We've also sadly lost Clark for a period of time. However, this might give milner a chance to have more time at 9. The best thing to come out of yesterday is that Rangi's ban is up and who is up next?

We are both in the same boat, just over a week before Good Friday, we had comfortably beaten Catalan at home and were playing some decent(ish) stuff.
We looked on paper to have two winnable games Londo away and Cas at home (no disrespect to either) and since then we have been on a depressing slide.
I will watch on Sky although i think you will probably beat us fairly easily, and i hope there is none of the nonsense at the Etihad, that accompanied Good Fridays game.

Im a Rovers fan, who is very suprised at yesterdays game, id hoped we would win, at home, point to prove from you beating us, 2 weeks to prepare etc, didnt expect such a scoreline.

The reason i highlighted the bottom line, does that mean you believe you are a 1 man team and without Chase you cannot compete? I know Orr and McGoldrick were missing also but you didnt mention them thats all. Think thats a little disrespectful to the rest of your side to suggest you'll improve only because Rangi is back? Maybe if the players applied that attitude further results will also follow?

Well we have no halves yesterday. Danny is ok, him and chase go well together. Most of our positive stuff comes from Chase though. Believe me mate, we will improve next week (thats purely because it cant get worse). We were a beaten side as soon as we entered the field yesterday, just having chase in the team will lift spirits.

we played without dobson and green earlier in the season with a winger and looseman in the halves and didn't get a towelling off anybody, I thought the attitude of your players was shocking yesterday and you easily looked the worse team we've played including widnes, no doubt chase will improve your attack but it looks to me as though a lot of the rest just aren't up to the job imho

Cheers for pointing out the obvious sandy. You don't think we don't know that?

The consolation, if it is one, is that Warrington played without Morley, both Monaghans's, Briers, Bridge and Waterhouse and put 30 unanswered points past us in 40 minutes!!!

Unfortunately it's not Chase, Orr and McGoldrick who do all the tackling so our defence will likely be just as bad next week.

Has Rangi's other half given birth yet?

Yes.
