and they wonder why League isn't taken seriously

I didnt see it that way and i am as negative as they come. It was relatively stress for large parts. I cannot believe we have lost!

Front row lost us that game. Apart from Moa i cant remomber anyone else.

Pack totally dominated theirs.

Rovers only got back into the game because of poor discipline and 40/20's.

I actually thought our forwards struggled tonight

Indeed it makes the game a laughing stock it really does my mate who is a City fan was in disbelief at the decision and couldent understand why the could not go to the screen for it (another joke of a rule) and then was almost in tears when Eddie said he loved Ganson. Untill this is sorted out this game will never become a major UK sport and it's no wonder why.

Name a front rower who played well apart from Moa and dont say Lynch as he was just consistenly average

Dont agree with that Dave the front row had an awfull game Lynch reminded me of Dowes at times it's just Manu and Moa carried us up that field along with the backs who other then Turner i thought had great games.

Absolutely spot on. If we have to rely on officials getting decisions badly wrong to make the game exciting, we may as well give up.
Eddie Hemmings shwed himself up for the tool that he is.

Shouldn't be too despondent about this one. Massive weight of posession in rovers favour, they were pretty much at full strength whilst we had 5 first choice players missing, scored off a blatant forward pass and needed a last minute try to pinch it. Add in the ganson factor with no penalties to us in the 2nd half and pinging us plenty and we would have walked it with a fair share of posession and a full strength team.

Biggest thing for me is how the fook do we replace manu? If saints have really fecked him off then we need to get back around teh table with him

Seriously agree about Manu. He was easily our best player and the sort of player a champion team needs

Agree with all that. I arent as despondant as previous derby defeats and feel more shocked by the loss then anything.

We do need to be a bit more wise at certain times in games before we can ever be taken seriously.

Agree on all points, and thought Gentle did well to get his point across about the poor officiating without just sounding bitter.

As for Sandercock, whinger supreme. Asked about the forward pass and turned it into a moan about the bad luck and decisions they've been on the end of all season.

Even accepting the points Jake has made, it's still hugely disappointing to lose this game. 14 points up with 15 minutes to go should be a winning position.

I've opened an O/T thread on the Wakey board for those of you who'd like to blame Agar.

Unlucky, btw... or where you?
