Harris is never going to get a run out, you lot are so stupid! He’s so rubbish and you lot only want him to play cause he’s local! Did you watch him at lions? He’s not even a top amateur player

He played well in his only start ! Better than some of the half hearted shower on DR, give lad a chance , unless YOUR better?

I thought we played as well as could have been reasonably expected given the players we were missing today. The scoreline got away from us in the last half hour as we tired in sweltering conditions but I thought we had a proper dig against full-time opposition and at 18-12 after 50 minutes we were right in it.

2 debutants, 2 more very inexperienced players and Bowes having to play 80 minutes in what must have been pushing 30 degrees, so although we were under the cosh and were on the wrong end of a very lopsided penalty/ 6 again count ( I'd need to watch again to see if they were all deserved) I think it was a much better effort than the score suggests.

The problem is whether we can repeat that effort in a more winnable ( on paper) game next week as we have turned in 3 lamentable home performances in recent months.

Standouts for me today were Minikin with a series of top defensive reads and Jack Arnold who I thought was a revelation, winning contacts both in attack and defence. Really surprised me how well he went. The young debut winger Jeffrey also showed a fair bit of promise.

Decent turnout from the Fev fans too.

I’m just being realistic, he’s far off the standard! Let’s just TRY and make the play offs and go into it with a fullish looking 17 and I bet any of you we will be in that grand final

Played well at Dewsbury.

Arnold would of in my opinion would of been like moris kamano this year in the fact that he came from amateur with no expectations but can really put a solid shift in having watched him in friendly a but an unfortunate injury had kept him out most of season 

 

hopefully now he can get a decent run in due to injury’s and prove himself to get a contract next season

I hope to God the lad doesn't read this and think its what other Rovers fans think.  When I think of some of the DR / loans dross we've had to endure this year this post is a joke.  Whats even more ridiculous is that he put in a faultless display in his only game v Dewsbury after being called in at the last minute.

What a stupid comment don’t matter if hasn’t played top amateur level he was picked up and 16 to play for Castleford scholarship then John kear himself choose Harris as a possible Bradford player and only reason he left was down to kear leaving.

Didn't see any that were deserved.
