That's more like it, and that's what Rankin brings that Shaul doesn't.

This doesn't look good for Ellis.

Having no luck.

Two interchanges down in 32 minutes. Game over.

That's the last we'll see of Ellis this season.

I don't think you need to be a doctor to tell that that's a ruptured achilles.

Don't want to be negative but that could be Ellis done for the season. Why does he seem to have such rotten luck with injuries.

Ellis snapped Achilles.

Sickening.

Could be career ending.

What a finish from Lineham. And some people on here were saying he wouldn't be missed.

Confirmed by the doctor.

At least we've got a half time lead, but we'll have to do it tough in the second half.

Lineman isn't the perfect winger, but he certainly knows how to score a try. He will be a big miss.

Pretty impossible to win a physical away Derby with the closest thing to marquee players we have both lost in the first half.

Feels like we shouldn't be leading given how much our backs seemed to the wall in that, need to slow them down a lot better this half with us losing our best leaders. Sneyd's kicking has made the difference so far IMO.

Awful game. I can't believe how far behind that game last night this one is. 2 very average sides. 2 interchanges down could ultimately be the difference I think. Can't defend kicks and sloppy around the acting half. Ellis could be career over IMO.

It must be the chronic fatigue of all the years hard work Ellis has put in. In the NRL he was a workhorse, reknowned as not taking a backward step. It must be taking it's toll now. A great shame if that is how his career ends.

Think this is in the bag now. Though I'd have been furious if that had been given against us.

That's a couple of fortunate calls gone for Michaels imo. Not complaining though.

What a horrible defeatist attitude! Call yourself a supporter
