Lots to be said about this game (would have said it sooner but I've been away for the bank holiday) but where do you start?
We were poor plain and simple. Rovers hit us hard early on and it was that superb 40-20 from Holdsworth (and Whiting's try obviously) that got us out of trouble at that point but then it really was all Rovers. They looked so much better than us in that first half but for me we were the masters of our own downfall there with the errors and mistakes we kept making. But I had hope at half time as the score line was close.
Thought we started the second half the better of the two teams and looked to be putting Rovers under a bit of pressure but started to look clueless pretty quickly. Fair play to Rovers defence which was on fine form but why were we not kicking on the last tackle at this point? We seemed to be panicking too much.
When the score was 16-6 in Rovers favour I kept trying to tell myself that we were only 10 points behind but I just couldn't see where the tries were going to come from. Then it all went nuts once Lineham scored.
Thought the Yeaman try was a 50/50 call. I could easily have seen that given as no try on another day. Green's try... well that was just awful by Ganson to give that but fair play to Green for chasing that down like he did.
Overall: poor effort by us but I'll take it
