Rovers looked in control up to the Tansey try, I thought that going in at 12-0 would have been harsh on us, as it was Hull got to 12-6 and must have been delighted and looked the better team from then on. (barring the last ten maybe.)

I agree on the "under 8's" style rugby although maybe wouldn;t have put it so harshly. FC threw the ball around pretty recklessly and it came off for them and as such looked adventurous, on another day it wouldn't come off and look desperate. As I put in another thread they more or less seemed to say sod it after the Briscoe lay off (as in the Leeds game) and it started to pay off..

Bottom line we had an off day and came through which has to be a positive thing.

I agree so here's a couple of previous comments from "respected" posters on this forum regarding Mr Silverwood.







We will obviously disagree on the game as I believe we shaded the game but didn't get the rub of the green when we needed it. TBF we shouldn't need to rely on luck and it shows just how poor we have become. I agree we wont make the play-offs but unless you improve significantly in the next few weeks I cant see you making much of an impression in the play-offs.

And there is your problem, you cannot win even when you outplay the opposition (allegedly )

since when do you get penalised for giving a forward pass ?

if it was rovers thowing the pass it certainly would have not been forward Surely not....

Don't listen to that idiot.

It wasn't forward. Try should have stood. Can't say you would have won as there was ten minutes to go, anything could have happened.

Sorry Sid but I have to disagree with you. The pass was certainly passed forward. I have a still picture taken from the SKY footage which shows the moment the ball leaves Hall's hands and his hands are pointing towards the Rovers try line which is what in the laws of the game constitutes a forward pass. Silverwood would have only looked at Halls hands as the direction that the ball travels is as per the laws of the game somewhat irrelevant although in this particular case a still of Raynor reaching forwards to collect the ball shows it being collected about 2 metres in front of where it was passed from.

Of course a oenalty could be awarded if it was judged to be deliberately thrown forwards but generally the team passing forwards is given benefit of the doubt.

I'd love to know how Silverwood could see Hall's hands from where he was It clearly wasn't forward but this is even boring me now. Most fair minded Rovers fans (along with the vast majority of neutrals) have said it wasn't forward. IMO it was a turning point in the game but even I'm not blinkered enough to say we WOULD have won had it stood. Just a shame a tense and exciting game has been spoiled by a poor decision.

Wheres Stevo and his forward momentem when you want him.

Post it then. You are wrong, simplez.
