That was radio gold, pity it wasn't picked up by any of the stadium cameras

Problem with some of those people is, the closest many of them have been to playing a game of rugby league is on a Subbuteo table.
The reality is this league is not as easy as some seem to think, especially given the quality that does exist within the championship. Plus, Rovers been favourites to win the league means that every other team will up their game on the day hoping to get Rovers scalp.
Having said that, Rovers have to start to get a grip on their discipline which will continue to let them down and cost points regardless of what league they are in.
Sheens certainly didn't sound too impressed in a radio interview after the game, I wouldn't have minded been a fly on the wall in the Rovers dressing room afterwards.

Same problem as last season, Rovers unable to dominate the oppositions pack.

Tim Sheens has his work cut out with Rovers back row, which seems to be off the pace, the same as last week, but who has he in reserve? Blair and Greenwood are way off the pace and Donno slumped back to his 5/10 average. The only player who deserves credit is Lawler, who needs to start games IMO.

At the end of the day, a win is a win, and to win playing well below par is said to be the mark of a good team. Play like we are doing next week and Rochdale will be 3 from 3.

Tim Sheens will have certain standards that he expects his teams to play at, if they don't it's very refreshing to hear his disappointment instead of excuses.
We have to remember that in the championship there are lots of experienced players who know how to slow the game down to meet their teams requirements.
Also what the referees at this level will and won't allow to go unpunished. We have a lot to learn, not just the opposition.

Looking forward to watching it on HKRTV.

A win is still a win, and it'll be interesting to see what we need to work on too. The bench looked light today. Clarkson was very good last week, but is fairly new to prop as well.

At least we've got some options for rotation, as we entertain the table-toppers next time out.

Edit - we're away at Rochdale.

I'm assuming Kavanagh's fitness is still off the pace because he's got some size and would be in my 17. It was a funny bench selection from Sheens today but I'm guessing he went with a mobile bench to suit the plastic pitch. Rovers weren't great, and it was an ugly win, but I'd take that any day over a last minute defeat.

Why oh why does it always take us to concede a try before we wake up!. By the sounds of it. There might of been some paint stripping in the sheds after the match.

Sheffield currently doing us a massive favour...

Just seen the tries, Greenwood wants a kick up the for his attempt on Sammut at the start of the 2nd half.

Sheens has lots to work on.

He'll be embarrassed by that, I'm sure. He was quiet last week, and was limping for a while - I wonder if he was fully fit today. On his day he's one of our best forwards, but if he's not right we do have other options now.

At the other end of the scale, credit to Quinlan for preventing a try from one of London's props with a one on one tackle.

Well you've had you're toughest away game for the season ( unless you draw an SL team in the CC!) , turned out in great numbers again. Really thought you'd stuff us in the 2nd half, pleased to have been proven wrong- was an entertaining afternoon.
Hope all got home ok, see you at CP for OUR toughest away game!

I've just seen it, Stan. Makes some of Dixon's efforts whilst in a Rovers shirt look positively text book.

On the Dumberside commentary, it sounded like Greenwood's performance today set the benchmark for a poor display. It sounded like he was a penalty machine too.

I reckon he'll play next week, but he's one more bad performance from being dropped imo.
