Just got around to watching it, the first hour was dreadful, totally bereft of ideas and if I hadn't seen the score I'm not sure I could have faced seeing us get nilled.
Amazing comeback, big raps to Danny H (again!), can't believe we were the same team in that last 20, total Jeckyll and Hyde.
If we don't back it up with a decent performance against Warrington then it will be back tk square one.

Whatever did happened in that 20 minutes we need that from minute one or Warrington will spank us.

In my 40+ years of supporting the club, that has to be one of the most bizarre 20 minutes I've witnessed.

For an hour we looked so clueless in attack that it defied belief that these players had ever seen a rugby ball in their entire lives. Misplaced passes, mistimed runs, the wrong player getting in the way, players getting in each others ways. You name it and we managed to make a mess of it.

When Shaul scored I was simply relieved that we wouldn't be nilled. Then suddenly, without warning, rovers fell off the end of the cliff, we remembered how to pass, catch and back up and voila it's 2 points in the bag.

Like everyone else on here, I have no idea who decided we should wake up and do something on the 62 minute mark, but with a flick of a switch we went from looking like a bottom two side to one who at least looked like they knew what they were supposed to do (albeit against opposition whose confidence seemed to drain away quicker than Niagra Falls melting in Springtime).

I suspect that when the emotion of the victory has dimmed slightly, it will be the performance in the first 60 minutes that will be of greater concern and will raise more questions than answers from this afternoon.

Still, you can't beat a derby victory for a bit of feel good factor (especially one on their patch) and I will enjoy the night at least (or I would do if I wasn't stuck at work until the wee small hours).

Haha. Correct. Burton is a sad joker. Pritchard will rank high in the stats. Tilse will be a joke. As most weeks

Back to square one if we don't beat the top of the table and unbeaten team ? Get a grip
Your post is a liking to giving with the left hand and taking away with the right

Taylor a better player than Newton. Really? Newton can show him his nrl grand final winners medal.
Newton had less clubs in his career 3 I believe than Taylor has had already. Enjoy while he sticks around. He's a good prop but a fraud of a person.
Pritchard is stealing a living. Thankfully the Bulldogs are paying a lot of his wages as the Raiders did for Campese last year. He'll sting your cap next year.
Pritchard was A joke hiding for most of the game shipping the ball on getting bossed by a scrum half. Kelly's collaring of the big oaf was funny. You had some heros today. Frank the shirker wasn't one of them.
First to milk the applause though.
Get back to me on the stats they should be interesting.
If stats are your thing why do all slate Houghton. Great all game today.

Well got to get a bit of negativity in lol

What's the weather like on your planet?

Leave him alone, he's obviously extremely disappointed and upset!

having to go back to work for the second half, i feared the worst after a half that was nearly as bad as widnes

watched the second half, whilst delighted with the 2 points it still was a poor 60 minutes, a complete different fc fro the friendly and opening two games

start the game as we did today v wire they will muller us, start the way we finished today we may have a chance as they play off the cuff risk rugby

Congratulations on posting possibly the worst and most inaccurate summary of a game ever on rlfans. You looked terrible with your shirt off on TV after 60 mins cut the pies out.

You should stop now before you embarrass yourself further.

Can Newton show us his Superleague Grand Final winners medal at the same time?

You then pick on Pritchard just because he is our big signing and actually shows some passion for our club. Perhaps Pritchard and Newton would like to compare NRL medals?

You really need to worry more about how Campo, Kelly and Tilse are stealing a living of you Dobbins

Just as an (topical) aside, my brother has pointed out that Hull Fc staged a resurrection in 20 minutes flat this afternoon.

It took that Jesus fella three whole days to accomplish the feat, the slacker.

[iNewton can show him his nrl grand final winners medal. [/i

How can he? He had to give it back because Melbourne cheated the salary cap.

I'm enjoying the evening, personally. Michaels bumping off the impotent tackle of Cockayne was a lovely Easter treat.

Poor old Burtons [sic] Forearm has history attacking Taylor. He got slightly confused about how many games Scott played in his second season at Wigan and about his loan spell at Leigh.

Never got over Taylor leaving Rovers, presumably.
