Well it was always going to be a big ask, we fell short today but not too downhearted. We are way ahead of where any of us thought we’d be so far. Think Cust was a bigger miss for us today than we realise and KR shut Sezer down. Despite the difference in quality between us, personally think it was our poor errors that cost us ultimately. 2nd row is a big weakness with Cartwright already missing and then losing Lane. Said earlier, I think we’ll be the better for it following todays defeat moving forward. Think Pryce will be a very good signing once he’s settled and had some more training sessions. Litten showing signs of being an option at centre, thought he was solid in defence today.
We again showed that we wont just roll over and give up. Still plenty to be positive about despite the below par showing today. Dust ourselves down, move on and focus on the trip to Warrington.
I thought we did ok and it's where we are at, we aren't nowhere near ready yet but we are showing plenty of grit but still need to cut the errors out, think if we'd have scored at 0.0 things might have been slightly different but still encouraging times ahead for me.
A couple of key turning points were rovers scoring off that god awful kick for their 2nd try and then us failing to score off the pryce break on half time. If they don't score there or we score off the break I think it's a different game but these small margins are what win and lose games. rovers were much better at exploiting them than us
There's a good after match press conference with JC on the club youtube feed. The big man is clearly disappointed but honest, both of which are good for me. We're not a million miles away and if we can get everyone on the filed for a few weeks I think we're a match for most in the comp. Very encouraging as we're miles ahead of where I thought we'd be but maybe a reflection on how poor the standard is in the comp overall
Just watched the game back they were good Rovers tbh.Big difference for me was when we had to take Ese Ese and Knight off. We can’t get all recruitment done in one go but we really do miss some strike in the second row etc
