So much for 2 posters saying 50+ and game set and match.


They are very beatable and a grubby horrible team.We just don?t seem to get any luck.Cust was red but don?t know what he was expected to do as he was coming in full pelt..Ba

Super proud of my team today, to play 64 minutes against the Champions elect with 12 men, simply outstanding.Very hard to praise a single individual, following a superb team effort, however  I thought Rapana at centre was magnificent.

Pretty good effort, just a shame the card meant it was a foregone conclusion (first red in the whole of SL this season too - had to be us that got it!). Really impressed with Ashworth and Eseh off the bench, hope cust doesn't get a ban with us having Wigan next week 

Can't fault the graft once again, superb effort in the circumstances. They at least had to work for it. 
Would be nice to get the rub on decisions once in awhile. 
The second row position remains cursed, Chamberlain didn't look great. 

With us a man down they were faster than us attacking at the ruck and attacking our right edge well in the first half 
Maybe they lost focus and thought it would be too easy in the second half, and once Briscoe scored we got on top. Would have been interesting if Pryce had kicked those 2 missed conversion and we had gone 18-16 up to see Rovers reaction. 


As for the Cust challenge, there?s one thing coming in at full pelt, but you see he in the replay he blatantly turns his shoulder into Morgue, hits him in the head and made no attempt with his arms to tackle. He got what he deserved with that Red card. If he hadn?t turned his shoulder most probably a yellow card.



The forwards competed incredibly well but the team just ran out of steam in the end. 

Err I did say it was a red.And I do think they are beatable and also they are very lucky with injuries as they rarely get them but for them being the best team in the universe and playing a team with 12 men?I thought the scoreline did flatter them

Rapana much better today, neat pass to Briscoe and a well taken try. Ashworth very good too, he looked a real handful.


It's always tough losing to that lot of couse but I think we can take a lot out of today. Down to twelve after fifteen minutes but we were still in it with a quarter of an hour left. We just need that bit of luck to go our way.



It's a little concerning that in the last eight games we've had one red and six yellows. This is one thing that Carty has not improved so far.

Carnt fault the the effort, agree with Ashworth and Eseh, both had very good games when they came on. 

Big effort from all the players not sure how anyone could criticise that 

Once Cust was carded and we lost Chamberlain it was always going to be an almost impossible task. Can?t fault the effort, desire and dogged attitude they have as don?t doubt gas we been 13 v 13 we?d have won. Even if we?d have had some decisions going out instead of theirs I think we?d have nicked it. 


Considering we are supposedly so crap they struggled to beat us. 


Thought Knight was outstanding and the minutes he played. Ashworth when he came on, was another along with Litten who were outstanding today. Briscoe looked like he?d rolled back the years today too. 


All in all, they all stood up and performed as team and a bit of luck/rub of the green or the ref picking up on them hardly ever being square at marker the result would certainly have been different but its fine margins and we?re doing it tough at present. 


You know when special things are on the horizon as the atmosphere is unbelievable and the togetherness is growing every week. 


Disappointed naturally but still pleased to see we are building every week. 


Special mention to Carty who has worked wonders along with Myler and seeing his passion during a game is so good to see. 


The futures bright, it?s Black & White!!

Would you still get rid of Rapana then?
