I think Nicholson would be pushing for the loose forward berth

On a side note about Dupree, the life stories feature done on the Superleague/Our League site is excellent. He seems like a top lad and exactly the sort of character you'd want at your club.

Just been announced Eseh has got injured again

Is it the same leg?

Strong squad announced hopefully we have them on the rotation of props plus I don’t see whitbread as a prop

Poor start but there was a player offside on the kick that caused all the problems. We seem to get pinged for anything from our own kicks every week so not sure why that wasn’t picked up. This could be a hammering tonight though, we’ve not turned up.

Really poor start this, we've hardly broken the half way line with our one man rugby. Rovers making far too many yards on us, yet we sit there and let them move up too much. To be honest thought we let Cas do similar at times last week.

Obviously plenty left in this game yet but we need to respond big time shortly.

Look miles off it.

Could be a very long night this

Just don't look up for it so far tonight. Next score is massive cause at 16-0 would be disastrous and unlikely to recover from.

Just as I type its a penalty chance to make it 12-0.

The front row has been shocking. Farrell has aged about 10 years in this performance so far too. Never seen him look so far off it.

After that defensive effort, Farrell needs to sit in the stands.

Get Farrell off never thought id say that.
Attack blunt no depth no shape

This is just a massive lack of effort and desire, against a team full of effort and desire.

At what point do we start to admit that this team isn’t as good as last year, despite the money spent.
Either that or there’s an issue with attitude.

Imagine having the best strike player in the competition on your shoulder and not giving him the ball with nothing but green grass infront of him. Baffling from Leeming.
