Big game from Con Mika this week. J Hodgson to make out Raggy chase and no doubt mcgold-Edit-AS will be sent off. But who knows in games like this. Spoke to Jake Wester today he is in alot of pain, opp gone well should be back in 3 weeks, along with Green, Galea,Hall and O'Hara. Good news it's not his hip, its the double hernia.

I would have rather he'd side stepped 3 tacklers, out paced the rest and scored
It doesn't matter now, what we say he should have done, the games gone. I wasn't saying Salter cost us the game, certainly not. Just that next time he clears his in goal I bet he doesn't do it that way again.

Not quite.

This was a text book voluntary tackle by Salter and as such should have been a penalty against Rovers:

"Voluntary tackle 4. A player in possession shall not deliberately and unnecessarily allow himself to be tackled by voluntarily falling to the ground when not held by an opponent. If a player drops on a loose ball he shall not remain on the ground waiting to be tackled if he has time to regain his feet and continue play."

Salter made no attempt to get to his feet, just shuffled his knees about on the ground a bit until Cas got impatient and pushed him back.

Sandycock is starting to become a bit of an embarrassment of a broken record. Wouldn't matter so much if he was right and understood what he was whinging about.

Don't be silly, Stan. You'll be saying black is white, next.

You're right to say much is missed in RL, but Sandy was arguing the shout should have gone your way, ffs. Instead, you were lucky to get away with a drop-out - you should have been penalised.

Did he thank the ref for turning a blind eye to the blatant forward pass that led to hodgson's try?

I think he (and all coaches) should concentrate on improving his side's performance and stop whining about referees (compounded by his whining voice TBH). If his players made as few errors as refs do then rovers would probably be sat at the top of teh league
