Good to get the win but it was a poor game, neither side will improve if they obsess with just winning these contests.

Worrying about Hoy's continued hamstring problems but apart from that we now have some easier fixtures ahead and top6 might bottle be out of question.

Agree about Hoy he looked like he could barely walk coming off the pitch so could easily be a 4-6 week injury.
What is good at the moment though is that we now know we have Litten who can slot straight in and is up to SL standard. Excited to see him continue his development over the next few weeks now

Cookie's jacket is bad enough but JJB's dress sense is worse than Stevie Wonders.

Haven't had chance to look at the stats but I'm sure Keith will join us later and confirm it.

sometimes you got to win ugly and that game certainly was ugly! take the 2 points and bragging rights, move on now, Derby games is over for another season! concentrate on a play off push, next 3 games are vital now!

stand outs today

Houghton
Swift (second half)
Mcintosh and Hoy before he went off

Noticeable by his absence.

Think that was Dwyers best game for us really added impetus.

Cam Scott and McIntosh get a lot of stick from some fans but have both been excellent last few weeks. When sutty is back I reckon Scott should get a go in back row. He’s earned his spot.

Missed some strike today, felt Ligi went ok but was a bit lethargic and Satae was a bit scruffy in some parts. Probably cliffs worst game for us but was still pretty solid but that’s just me been hyper critical

I think he keeps his centre spot. Maybe shift Carlos to second row.

Re: Craven Park Derby : Sun Jul 09, 2023 1:33 pm  

I still think we've been slow on a move to bring a decent second rower in. Lane has shown frailties in defence earlier in the season and today his skill set was poor.

Still got Griffin missing for 3 more games. Who knows with Andre? While some people are claiming we have easier games coming up, I think our opposition will be thinking the same when they look at our back row.

When Rovers lost Abdul: they at least have shown some ambition by gluing in a halfback from down under.

We release Evans from our first team roster and don't bring anyone in.

I think if we can get a decent second row then I think we'll have a good looking squad with depth to attack the back end of this season.

I'm actually impressive how Rovers have turned into such a poop team in such a short space of time
