Titans Chat

Poor show by the club yesterday, to be playing a club from Bristol, or anywhere for that matter, and postponing the game at 1pm is amateurish to put it mildly. It was obvious that the game was in doubt, a request for an official to get down to the Ground should have been made earlier. From the outside, it looks like they gambled on the pitch thawing, and it didn’t.
The comms out of the club was equally poor. Many people contacted via X to ask the question, none of them received a reply.  No apology either for the late call off.

Yes, got to agree with this, I’m not sure about some of the penalties he gave them in the 1st half, but that meant they had territory almost the whole half, had they executed more, we’d have lost by a few more points.
In the 2nd half, they kicked intelligently, and we didn’t, so once again almost all the game was played in our half.
Too many errors, tactics not great on the day, and unfortunately Leeds played well, we got what we deserved, or a point more than we deserved.
The wheels do seem to have fallen off at Rosslyn Park, for now anyway, but Plymouth have found form, and a few others too.
Our result at Sale, on the opening day, looks better now than it did at the time.

The 2 European finals are not listed. Will they not be showing at the clubhouse. An English club in both finals?

Can I ask why the majority want us to retain as much of the current squad as possible for next season? The squad was nowhere near good enough, we need winners. Things improved latterly with bonus points but we still only won 2 games. We need a completely different mentality at the club, we need winners on and off the field. And, importantly it’s not all about this season, the current decline has been going on for years. Tonight I am absolutely gutted and want to blame everyone. Rotherham Titans should not be playing at the 4th level of professional rugby.

I also read people blaming Posa, why do we never blame the people who recruit the coach? This is a desperately sad day for our club. There is no sugar coating that.

For a must win game, not only that but a must win 5 point game, Backs look good although personally I’d rather see Boxhall and Hollingsworth as the half back pairing.

The problem is that the backs haven’t been the issue this season. Will the forwards be good enough tomorrow? We will see. It has to be a bonus point win in horrible weather or we are staring the abyss in the face.

We played badly at their place and should have lost, tomorrow is not a gimme!

Birmingham Moseley have some tough games for sure, but so have we. With the fixtures remaining it’s very difficult to see how they could relinquish a 13 point advantage. We are clutching at straws. It’s over, this squad has not been near good enough.

In the bigger picture, the club has been in decline for a number of years.

When Doncaster dropped in to this league a few years ago, they bounced straight back, albeit on the last day. The club talked about promotion back to the Championship at the beginning of last season and this season. However, they must have known that in reality it was never likely. As I’ve said many times, it is very sad that the once feared Rotherham Titans will be playing what I would call ‘park rugby’ next season.

No points gained and another game gone. We’re running out of games. On to next week but we need points and fast. Birmingham Moseley play Canterbury next week. Not easy for them but we have Chinnor which will also be tough.
