Leeds up next? From a die hard Rhino KR should go in as favourits and get the points.

Why should we be favourites?

Anyway back to the rugby.

Marsh seems to be showing signs of improvement. Forwards put in an effort. Lawler and Allgood with broken thumbs.

If we can keep important players back there's some promise for the rest of the season.

Leeds won't be happy at losing today. We have a backlash to follow.

Surely 20-22 just to top the holidays off.

Not wanting to tread on Mild Rovers toes here but I feel we may need a cull. I'll sleep on it. We want/need a mixture of fans on the board but those whose sole intention is to antagonise are not an asset.


Anyway, good effort Rovers. Great experience for the youngsters and some strong leadership from the older heads. We will get there!

You have my fullest support. The west Oxfordshire internet is truly dreadful, so please fire at will.

Quite. There's a number of trolls on here. Most from our nearest and dearest. Debate is one thing but #### stirring is another.

You got me, but I a'int dead...

13 first choice players missing from tonight's squad, losing Ryan Shaw early, 4 senior players playing out of position, 4 academy lads with 3 on debut. That is unprecedented adversity for us.

To achieve that level of performance and keep the game and score that close against a team who fielded 6 current England squad players is fantastic. Truly proud of my team and the spirit it is showing under James Webster. We're close to turning things around.

The game was far closer then the final score line suggested tonight. Wigan had a much weakened side out themselves but not quite at the level that you guys did. I thought Maurice Blair was excellent and really lead from the front.

To lift after that end to your Derby on Friday and come back to produce that with so many players missing must bode very well.
