Robin Evans Posted December 25, 2015 Share Posted December 25, 2015 I'm not a massive lover of friendlies. They're usually error ridden first runs out and squads are largely incomplete. However, they are a good opportunity to meet up with the brethren, talk sheeite for an hour and have a chuckle... Plus the burden of expectation isn't as heavy this year and as such I'm genuinely looking forward to the new season. Shapry's gone about assembling a smaller decent looking squad. I'm buzzing for sunday now. Merry Christmas peeps. "I love our club, absolutely love it". (Overton, M 2007) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elppaxr2i Posted December 26, 2015 Share Posted December 26, 2015 For the minute - think it depends on if the predicted heavy overnight rain occurs or not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Slater Posted December 26, 2015 Share Posted December 26, 2015 Is it on the radio? I can't get due to a family commitment but may be able to sneak the odd check in if its on somewhere!Hopefully Jamie will put the Rovers' DVD feed on live audio streaming. If so he will post the URL on facebook, and hopefully someone will copy it on to here. Young Joe's home from University so you'll get the added bonus of his expert summary to back up Ben's commentary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Slater Posted December 27, 2015 Share Posted December 27, 2015 My colleague from League Express, Phil Hodgson, has just asked me to cover the game if it goes ahead because parts of Methley are badly affected by flooding, and he's staying at home to ensure his property and contents are protected. He says the flood defences are much better in Castleford though, so hopefully the game will go ahead. Nothing on facebook yet that suggests it may be called off.

elppaxr2i Posted December 27, 2015 Share Posted December 27, 2015 HT 30-0 should be more than that too Very little ball in that half but not done much with it, thought we would be up for it today but we seem miles off the pace Could be a long second half im afraid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkeymagic22 Posted December 27, 2015 Share Posted December 27, 2015 Friendlies have absolutely no bearing on how the season will go. As long as we don't pick up any bad injuries, that's all that matters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkeymagic22 Posted December 27, 2015 Share Posted December 27, 2015 Looks like a decent response in the second half and unlike last seasons preseason matches at least we are getting some points on the board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elppaxr2i Posted December 27, 2015 Share Posted December 27, 2015 Well thats Andy "chocolate body" bostock injured again - time to cut our losses? Great forward yes but far too injury prone Wildie also taken off injured We were miles the better team second half, cas made wholesale changes though and put the cue on the rack after 50 mins but we did really well to show up their unprofessionalism Just a shame it took us 50 mins to get going Thought Jon Davies and Thackeray were our best players today but thought they all put a shift in today and last 30 mins were great to watch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil Loxton Posted December 27, 2015 Share Posted December 27, 2015 Cas scored a lot of close in tries and never really cut us to ribbons. They were a lot bigger and hard to stop on the line. I thought Thackeray try was the highlight of the come back. We need some six foot centres I'm afraid and a big prop and we should be sound. Remember there was no Briggs.Craven.Misi or Hardman. That game will have done the players a lot of good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ROVERS FOREVER Posted December 27, 2015 Share Posted December 27, 2015 Lots of mistakes, to be expected with a fresh team. I think they'll gell together well in these friendlies. We've got some talent, we lack speed but endurance no. A full 80 minute team will be nice to see next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fev4evatiggerneva Posted December 27, 2015 Share Posted December 27, 2015 Didnt go today but didnt expect anything from the game but a run out for the lads that are fit to play and training with the squad at the minute, the squads still work in progress and some quality to come in yet, was a pretty strong cas squad today and sounds like a gutsy 2nd half performance from us, still confident we can compete for a top 4 spot this season.

ROVERS FOREVER Posted December 27, 2015 Share Posted December 27, 2015 Thesw friendlies will iron us out. Give our young lads some Superleague opposition experience. Something they'll need against Bradford and Leigh etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
