The only consolation is that, with the exception of hooker, no one part of the team is completely knacked. We should still be able to put out a vaguely coherent 17.

Big game for us. A win might just be enough to see us through thin poop storm. Defeat and it'll be gloom factor 10.

At least Poaching can still tackle a good dinner. Shame his other tackle techniques don't work.

There were 6 Robins in the academy starting line up yesterday that lost to Leeds. Our best 2 players (Wardill and Cator) were on the bench.
It would be a massive ask for any of them to play first team rugby at the minute in my opinion.

Do you know if he's failing to earn his salary in his present position?

Thanks for that R.B.A. So basically we're screwed!

Looks that way doesn't it?

As for sunday, having watched the highlights of cas v wakey, I think you'll have enough to beat them. Their defence makes yours look almost competent

Is it just me who thinks luck has little to do with our current position, we spent last year on the bones of our Rs due to injuries, maybe unlucky. So this yer we reduce the squad size??

I've always said a mistake is acceptable but to do it twice is unforgivable.

Campese was always going to be injured going into this season.
Lunt again was a known injury
Walkers situation was known about
Allgood looks to be injury prone.

add to that the inevitable suspension or 2 and the fact we all knew we were far too light up front and all we seem to have done in the off season is weaken an already weak side.
I may be wrong but the only other side going into the season with a smaller squad was Leeds, its going well for them as well and they started from a much stronger position than us.

I'm not sure the squad size and depth is Chesters fault but unfortunately for him it looks like its his problem now and he seems a long way out of his depth.

You'd be surprised.

I think it's a good job were playing Wakefield next week it's the only team we've got a chance of beating and Wakefield will be thinking exactly the same

Pity we couldn't persuade Tony Puletua to stay another year we could do with him right now
