That galea article makes it blatantly obvious that rovers went out with rough house tactics and failed!

I think Rovers over emphasized the need to be aggressive and not get beat up because every player interview since has mentionned the aggression in the forwards!



I think the emphasis may move onto how to score tries next week.

Also thought Silverwood's comment i'm watching you , proves a biased comment for any ref to make to a player.
Shows no impartiality there THEN

Their emphasis has been on avoiding scoring tries most of the year to be fair mate.

Personally I thought it was great seeing Charlie stand up to him.

Think the refs are singling him out unfairly to be honest

He wouldn't have been standing for long if they had been allowed a one on one. Cockayne prefers prone victims though doesn't he.

TBF Lauaki did throw a punch or two.

True but I didn't see silverwood warning any other players

Lauaki exposes himself through his behaviour. Makes himself and easy target for refs but it still doesnt make it right that he got very little protection.

Ben Galea seems to have forgotten that the match was on TV, so we could all see that Rovers were one of the dirtiest, most niggly and most cowardly sides seen for a while. Maybe he would have been better off keeping quiet given that only Rovers players were penalised for off-the-ball incidents and only a Rovers player was put on report.

He's made himself look a complete whining 2@.

Yup
