Not sure what Austin was trying to do when the line was beckoning and he stopped to look for a pass? He was a disappointment today for me. Without Charnley we would not have the 2 points. Great defending and his 90m try.

Tomkins in hospital thanks to knees to the head by Austin, now out for god knows how long, thanks very much.Should have been a red then you down to 12. Then Austin puts in an absolutely blatant forward pass in the build up to the try on half-time. Ref bottled it both times. I know these things happen, but they shouldn,t. Not saying Austin meant it, I am sure he didn,t.But if the official had done his job, I think you would have lost and deservedly so. We are not happy.

When some one runs the ball in about twice and makes 1-2 twice then is replaced...albeit not his doing...I'd day that was disappointing.
Yes I did go but if you saw it differently I'm open to read your version of events rather than you just ridicule and say nothing. Why bother to post anything?

I'm not making a judgement on the Austin incident until I've seen video evidence. As the nearest fan was around 25m away, none of us can be certain as to what happened. Even on this forum there is confusion as to whether it involved knees or elbows.

Well I was stood around about 6 people with great rugby knowledge(you weren't there obviously!),and each one thought tasi performed very well.

That's fine Moe. Perhaps I'm harsh on him. However the team collectively was disappointing....so thank heavens we've a week off to learn how to beat Giants without Austin....and Tasi might be the answer.

What a tedious match. Not sure if ir was a) team believed their own publicity
b) the ptb was slower than Snaly McSnail
c) The Steeden ball isn’t that good after all
d) the players insisted on passing to Tom Lineham’s invisible twin who was generally standing 2 metres behind the visible one
e) the ref had never been to a game of rugby league before

On the plus side I don’t think I’ve ever seen a prop run around move before, let alone one that resulted in a try!

Cooper for half back. We have cover in the front row.

Just seen the Austin incident on highlights on Twitter, from the angle it’s shown I’m not sure what he did wrong.

There's some poor footage on sky. Whether the tackle is complete or not is irrelevant. McGuire is the nearest Rovers player and he is apoplectic as is Drinkwater. The Rovers physio comes straight on too. Looks like Austin elbows the back of Tomkins head. Looking at a long ban i reckon.
We look a different outfit this year and could go well injuries permitting.
Don't mind Wire good luck for the rest of the season

Well, he got tomkins before tomkins could get him.

Theres nothing there is there. The ref didnt give anything, the kr players didnt react or run in on response to the hit.

Just looks like an aggressive flop. If that is all the footage the RFL have they are going to have a difficult job being objective. In any case it's nothing that Tomkins hasn't dished out before so he can hardly complain.
