better than us on both counts today

I doubt we completed more sets and I'd be amazed if we conceded less penalties although silverwood did try and even them up at the end of each half

you know, even though I agree with you completely, I'm just glad to put one over on rovers. I haven't watched the game again with any semblance of even-mindedness but during the game I thought that on the "what the hell was that for?" penalty front I think we came off second-best and did well to hold them out after squandering the possession you speak of. Well done FC.

I was particularly thinking about the "why the hell did you force that pass" moments

hmmm - I can't quite make out whether I want to applaud them for attempting to play open rugby or shoot them for being s

Open rugby is fine but not 20-30 yards from your own line.

shoot them it is then....

although Saints in their hey-day....

... did it properly.

We're getting there. Without so many penalties against we would have had far more ball. That's what we need to work on IMO. But our players need fair protection from the ref.

Thought the offload that Radford attempted was really unlucky when it came of that jammy sods Vella's foot.

Saying that, they did drive me mad with poor offloads and daft penalties.

At least we got a couple of sneaky ball steals in.

As regards discipline, it's embarrassing that an experienced international footballer wasn't brought back on the field because we couldn't risk him giving away any penalties. I know that KR were roughing him up every tackle but he just can't react in a petulant way. He could do worse than lookat Sean Long who was targetted repeatedly with late hits but stuck to his game.

Fair play to Agar; made the right call to leave Laaki on the bench and replace Tickle with Radford. Hame has so much to offer; just needs to be disciplined.

Too right we teach them from 10s RED ZONE

They still want to learn the hard way

According to reports he was concussed. Not surprised.

Judging by our consistent clueless attack,which consists ofconstantly drilled into the players, we would see an improvement
akin ,to Wigan and Huddersfield.

Think with the headgear he was expecting a bit of 'treatment', needs to keep it contolled though and could quite easily have turned it round on Newton or Cockayne.

Loads of dummy runners for our last try. Agree we could and should be better. Again though neither of us know what really happens in preparation during the week.
