19-Man Squad: Vs Hull KR

[medlocke]

JuSt wondering why the Super Awesome Sam Tomkins didn't win the game single-handedly, Or is he only god like when we win

[Firestarter]

This is not a league of equals. There is no way that should have been anything other than a routine win. The fact HKR were the better team is a joke. They are not even close to being a top 4 team.

This is one of those daft losses that Wane said he wanted to eridicate. But no, Tommy is out so instead of a least starting with the reserve hooker he switches everything about.

So, according to this logic, we have to win every game apart from those against 3 other clubs, or the coach is useless?

I suspect there was an element of "after the Lord Mayor's show" following the superb performance against Wire. Possibly aided by distraction with Wane's resignation and a couple of changes.

As has been said, "Well played Rovers", now move on.

didnt SW rest 8 players last season vs Leigh? The week before the cup game....... we should go out to win every game and play the strongest possible team

How many times did Shaun Edwards play the week before a Wembley final? Clear to me that the priority is next week, and that's fine so long as we win.

And there lies the problem with rugby league.......if ur gonna rest players, rest a couple..... dont rest more when weve got extra injuries......big 2 points lost if we lose this and the wire win will then count for nothing...... was it 1 year ago( ish)

Who was rested?
If you look at the squad on the Superleague site, Forsyth was included on Thursday. I suspect that was in place of Sarginson and Gildart was a late withdrawal, but it could have been the other way round. Anyway, a bad day at the office, move on.

????????????????

[ Gildart was in Salford Royal on a drip, on Wednesday I think it was, & would not have been fit to play last night ]

[josie andrews]

Im sure tommy, gilly, lockers and sarge wudda been available if it was a big game no doubt imo

Gildart was in Salford Royal during the week on a drip! He wouldn’t have been fit to play no matter how big the game was!

[No straw damn us]

I think 35 missed tackles tells the story.

Powell and Escare missed 13 tackles between them! The absence of Leuluai alone seems to have caused us problems. I didn't go to the game so someone who did can correct me, but on the radio Powell's name was mentioned a few times with regards to missed tackles and being bumped off and knocked around. And having seen Escare defend in the halves a few times so far this season 6 missed tackles doesn't surprise me. He makes Tim Smith look like an accomplished defender.

To be fair to Powell he was 2nd top tackle maker with 42 tackles, but I do agree regarding Tommy Leuluai.
I found it strange that Sam Tomkins made more tackles than any players from #2 - #7.

Escaré looks every more ordinary to me,maybe it’s Sam’s form that’s hshown his limitations but hey that’s just me,Navarette too looks ordinary as well,granted a huge 8mprovement on last year but he’s stood still again take Clubb and the rejuvenated Flower and Wigan’s prop cupboard looks bare assuming Sutton is off to Oz.

Wane oversees another shambles on the ever growing list during his reign. I am glad to see the back of him and his cliques.

yup hes had a shocking tenure, so anoying that we havent won any silverware at all.........

Ok I've bitten

Well we have won nothing so far this season unless you have crystal ball

I think what is being intimated at is Wanes obsession of square peg to fit round hole as regards team selections. I mean Forsythe hasn't even been playing for Swinton for a while, never mind he's only been on the wing but hey presto hes first choice for a centre spot at HKR - Have we NO centres at all???????

Escare as a scrum half??? What happened to Josh Woods??? Why not leave Powell at Half and Ganson at hooker???? Keeps going on this or do you deny it?
