Fash is having a stinker.

Thats better well done Litten and at last some backing up

Better start to the 2nd half and playing with a bit more pace and intensity.

Kept them scoreless for 50 minutes.

Such an improvement against a top 4 side. Within 8 points again for the 6th week in a row. If only we had this effort since the start of the season.

Aydin is a definite upgrade on Brown, he’s been a real workhorse and stand out for me today.
Much better performance and played smarter this half.

Why cant we seem to kick a ball dead ? Happens every bloody week. Youngsters or not its very very simple rugby.

Wanted our youngsters to give them a scare and we really did do that.

Fair play to our lads. Up to squad number 49, 2nd vs 11th, they didn’t score in an hour. 9 of the 17 from our academy.

For real, we may have had KRs pants down with this swap.

Too many dumb plays and players.

9 of our 17 from the academy, including 1, 7, 9 and 13. Only 3 of a possible 7 quota players playing, 2 in the second half. Kept them scoreless for an hour. 2nd vs 11th.

If we played from the kick off rather than 20 min mark we would have beaten them today. Fair play to the lads.

Mixed feelings really for me . There is no doubt the spirit and work is now in our game again; think with a strike centre and proper seasoned halfback we’d have beaten them . Sao played very well but spoils his game with penalties and Aydin is a great pick up , a real workhorse and competitor . Rovers wouldn’t trouble the top 2 on that showing, gives me hope for next season with Abdul and a couple of other signings , hopefully to add to the mix . I’m not sure I’d be signing a fullback , between Litten and Moy we have enough and I’d go all out for a pacer outside back and half . Great effort today and cannot fault the effort . That’s all we could ask really.

Considering the side we side we put out against almost a full strength Rovers side it’s not been the hammering we would have suffered before Smiths departure.

If we’d had a bit more guile/craft and started the game better instead of waiting for 20 minutes before we found our feet.

Certainly lots of positives.

Litten coming on for Carlos (looks like another injury) made a difference with his pace.

Moy and Lewis look better each game, difficult game for Charles but still didn’t let anyone down.

Just our habit of slow starting has again cost us.
Mixed feelings really disappointed to suffer another loss to them but not too disappointed with the result as the performance by and large was there. Though still some dumb/poor play and bit of inexperience to work on.

Considering everything this again was a really gutsy performance. Good crowd and atmosphere to. Lads definitely didn't leave anything out. Obvious we need to bolster our squad which we are well on the way to. Adyin Ese Soa carried the pack . Trueman showing with a decent team around him can be a very good half. Youngsters did well but lane Gardiner smith all looked championship players. Tuim times has run. Still feeling confident if we can add a couple of good signings we will improve a lot next year

Great effort but lacking in quality. I think if ashworrh and cartwright were playing it would have been a different game but we lack quality at half back, centre and 2nd row

Think this is a pretty fair assessment. At times we moved the ball well but with 0 penetration. Need some forwards that can break the line and halves to take it on a bit more.

Huge positives today, despite a disappointing result. The big ones being the number of academy players that stood up and Davy littens performance. I’ve been critical of him after his early promise but he had a very good game today.
