| Quote FC Guvnor="FC Guvnor"Against what are our current first team regulars I'd have Welham for Yeamo, Cockayne for Colbon, David Hodgson for whatever winger that gets thrown in there, Keating and Burns for our Half back combo (whoever is Radfords flavour of the week), forward wise I'd take Cox, Green, Lovegrove, Hodgson and Poore if he was fit and could stay out of trouble. They are better than what we have at the moment, I'm not stating they are all better players, but you get pride, passion and 100% effort out of them all and to be fair, quite a bit of quality. You just have to go back to our last Premiership winning squad of 90/91 ? Not a stand out team in terms of names ( Yes I know there were some cracking internationals in the team ) but by and large that team week in week out played with pride and passion in the black and white shirt, which in my opinion won them some matches and was a big reason why they beat a star studded Widnes, they played for one another. I've never been concerned about losing matches if you can say that each and every member of that team gave 100 %, that's not happening at the moment and that's what hurts me.'"
For a nanosecond I thought you weren't a troll but now I know better. If you're going to pick pretty much every rovers player at least pick the decent ones like adam walker and weyman and not shiite like keating, welham, cockayne and hodgson |

| Quote Kosh="Kosh"I wasn't trying to 'educate' anyone. I was offering a clarification. People on here really like to take offence, don't they?
You often get the 'win our games and the league looks after itself' platitude trotted out in pretty much any sport with a league structure.[u[size=150 Of course it's true[/size[/u as far as it goes, but the fact is that any side winning all it's matches is a super rare event in top level sport. Hence teams are pretty much always dependent on the form of other sides in the same competition.'"
Thanks for agreeing with me. I also did not say win every game, but sufficient to maintain a gap over those below us. |

Sorry forgot you're the all knowing rugby guru !!!!! Let me take you back to my first line
'Against what are our current first team regulars'
Not a Rovers fan, but generally I'd like to think I know my rugby league, the players I quoted especially the backs were like for like players/positions. Having seen both Derby matches, these players out performed their opposite numbers, hence the two results. They are as this seasons results and league positions tell us, performing better than Hull FC's players. Read my full post and try to understand my point, if you could ? |

I'd gladly swap Yeamo for Welham, Agree on Gardner, seasoned SL pro, well worth a 2 year contract somewhere. |

Quality response as I said, read my original post and try to respond with a grown up response, if not just try not to bother, I get bored quite easily. |

On current form I'd swap welham for yeaman, welhams attack has been poor and his defence is as shocking as ever, at least yeaman defends well. |

But the number of games sufficient to maintain that gap depends on how the best placed team below you is doing, which in turn depends on how their opponents are doing, which in turn...
You get the idea. |
