thought silverwood was disgraceful towards hame, he gave the gipsies open season on him, although hame should have risen above it, there is only so much the guy can take, players shouldn't be victimised by referees, even if agar contacted scummings we all know he will do feck all about it as his refs are untouchable

In a way its a good thing!! it just shows that they know they cant compete like last year.

Although I agree Rovers got away with a bit on Lauaki he was also not helping himself. Three times he hit out and you just can't do that. Agar did the right thing taking him off and keeping him off, he needs to learn not to get wound up so easily as we could have done with him in the second half.

Couldn't agree more Ash.

When Newton tried to pull his head off silverwood said to Hame that he'd comitted the first offence.

and cockaynes accidental elbow? please.

c0ckstayne and accidental don't go do they?

Also true he should take the rough treatment as a complement and rise above it!!
But that cant be easy when someones roughing your head about

I'm thinking Clitty Newton is lucky to still have a head. He deserved to have it knocked off by Lauaki after the 'facials' the cheating barsteward was dishing out on the big fella. Thought Agar did right to take him off....but was hoping hw would be back on for the last ten minutes!!!
Longy copped a few 'naughty late ones' too.....Murell being the most guilty against his superior on this occasion!
All in all though......A good old fashioned Derby with the right result.

When is the 14-18 Bar gonna open

Silverwood is a complete clown and his "refereeing" of Lauaki was shocking. He had an elbow in the face, a cheap late punch in the tackle and then Newton's head/grapple and he gave away three penalties !!

Although Silerwood didnt help him, he didnt help himself, a lot of teams will target him, he needs to control his agression, as it is proving too costly for the team.

Thought Silerwood had a good game, missed a couple of things for both teams but got most things right.

Clint Newton has to come to the KC...sure Hame will look forward to that one as will a few more of our players

What goes round comes round, it rough it tough it rugby league

It's a viscious circle. Lose it and retaliate and you'll get it every week

lauaki is a big pudding, concussion my ar-- more like his ar-- fell out. should av laughed in his face . he can give it but cant take it

Not sure I've seen any dirty play from Lauaki except in retaliation just hard rugby. Stop the retaliation and he'll be massive for us.

Thank you for your contribution. Rest assured that it didn't make you look at all juvenile or clueless.

No siree.

The last 2 mins of the pre-season game laid the foundations for Rovers tactics, as intended, afraid Morgan let his guard down there.
Silverwood was an absolute joke when it came to Lauaki, no protection, swinging arms, facials etc etc all going unpunished, however the guy still needs to learn to stand and smile, would have pished them off even more.
Vella for me was a total coward, diving in 2-3 times as fourth man with his niggling, shame he wasn't such a big man in White Horse!!
