Apart from his petulent kick out, Gale was very good today. Goal kicking won us the game. I do fear that he'll be getting a call from the RFL on Tuesday though.

Can we sign a few more loanees please?

Great win somehow.

O saw more from Walker and Laidlaw that I've seen from Shaul and Biwden have for years.

Taylor and Gale were excellent too

Think Rovers would loan us Lewis?

Answer the question thats why i asked.?
Its a genuine question to anyone on here

I thought Taylor was poor, but might change my mind after a second watch

i agree another 2weeks sitting in the stand

made the yards in the build up for Simms' try

did anybody else spot the rovers supporter throwjng a bottle at some of his own fans down in front of him?

He deserved to play for a bigger club.

Who do they play in the last game of the season? Oh, it's us at the MKM.

Great win lads. Massive slap on the backs. 5 debutant players so bound to be clicky. Walker looks class. Simm big unit and runs hard. Long staff never stops. Really pleased and Well done Mr Hodgson. 5 th place. COYH

Praising Rovers players, you almost sound upset we lost

So you wouldnt like Parcell in our team?
Trying to be controversial for no reason
There are some posters on here praising Lewis send your message to them

Agree we definitely got lucky today especially when outscored in try’s but Coote was awful with his boot and the VR gave us a lucky break.

All 5 debutants stood up and made an impact on the game and the team. Yet still some of the senior group who again fail to really step up. Thought Gale was poor to start with and gave a stupid penalty away but then seemed to knuckle down. Pity we let Sims carry on trying to put the big shots in without sitting him on his I’m pretty sure a couple of his hits were more like shoulder charges than attempts at tackles.

The enthusiasm and speed the new ads played was refreshing and hopefully will continue and become infectious on the old stagers.

Would have liked to have seen Hodgson use Hookem a lot earlier as really is pointless sitting him for 77 mins to give him 3 minutes just seems a wasted bench spot particularly in hot weather.

Just thankful for the win but still a hell of a lot needs addressing

You can’t compete with youth, it’s natural, unbridled and fast, has no fear and actually enjoys what they are doing.

Laidlaw, was exceptional, as was Walker, Simms, and Longstaff, and Brown, cobbling together a team that wins a Derby is some achievement, I’ve criticised Hodge in the past, but boy that was entertaining stuff, Big Chris got my vote for motm, closely followed by the short sighted Robert Hicks.

Might make a trip over to the secret Rovers forum for some amusement

Excellent effort! Young kids and loan singings better than the predictable stuff we've seen from the team. Best atmosphere for ages too!

Good sensible post Chris

Let's be honest Rovers were the better team and didn't deserve to lose. They would have won if Coote wasn't terrible with his kicking. They had at least 2 tries disallowed for forward passes that shouldn't have been. The Video ref no try was a travesty of justice. It must be heartbreaking to lose in that manner.



Keith and Bob match analysis when you're ready please.

Think there might be a bit of delay on that due to satellite issues

Fair play to McGuire he knew Rovers had been shafted but was dignified in defeat.

Yes His Bobness got it wrong again. Worst forecaster since Michael Fish.

We have an option to sign him permanent. Massive upgrade on Shaul.

Laidlow was excellent.

It gives us some options if other targets don't come off .
