Maybe hes a ninja

Good tough derby. Stronger team won. Credit to KR for the basketball try but I enjoyed the numerous times Griffin went round the outside of Rovers. Lots for us to work on. I think of the two teams last night one was playing about as well as it can and the victors have a deal of improvement to find. Great start to the season.

I didn't think Shaul was MOM last week, and he was poor last night. He needs to be on the shoulders of Sao, Satae, Jones and Savelio looking for those offloads all the time.

Give Wynn a game at wigan if shaul plays like that next week

Connor to FB, Kelly at 6

I'd go with that if it was an option

Disappointing to hear homophobic chanting and see more idiots causing trouble in the rovers end

4 arrested I hear.

Haven't re-watched the game yet but here’s my thoughts...

Was a struggle for most of the game, credit to Rovers for this. They were the best team for large chunks of the game, and we didn't really get out of 2nd gear. We looked really rattled in some parts, but thought we'd eventually run away with it in the last 20 which we did.

The re-introduction of Satae and Taylor in the final 20 helped eventually swing the momentum back in our favour.

Think Satae will get a few games for his late hit. Matautia got 2 games for something similar against Toronto.

Though Shaul had a bit of a stinker in the 1st half, let a few bombs bounce but seemed to sort this out in the 2nd half, and looked a bit more solid. He needs to push up and follow our big boys though, they always look to promote the ball, he could score a bucket load this year.

Faraimo should come back in for Swift. Swift didn't do too much wrong, but he did get bundled into touch and put in a real lazy effort on Quinlan for his score. Although defence isnt his strongest point Faraimo gives us a bit more umph going forward.

Hopefully Savelio has all his injury troubles behind him, he's looked good so far. Big, strong, line breaking forward.

Sao looked like he was everywhere last night, and his stats seem to back that up. Plenty of metres and offloads, he was even there to mop up the ball for a drop out when we were under the cosh in the second half.

So chuffed we've got Jones, he's Mr perpetual motion.

Special mentions to Griffin and Sneyd too.

Plenty to work on, but a pleasing result non the less. 2 from 2, and on to Saints

Cant see why satae would get banned. It was barely a push and only a split second late

I am a Hull fan, it was late, with intent, he was lucky not tp get ten minutes. Agai st us I would be looking for a card.

Did Rovers miss 45 tackles yesterday?

How many did we miss? Sl site used to have team stats for each game but not there this year

I'll check. You have to add them up from individual player stats.

Rovers missed 45, we missed 14 plus Sao's (not shown for some reason)
