Never got over Taylor leaving Rovers, presumably.
Poor Scott. He must be devastated tonight by these sleights on his integrity.

Great result today! Thought there was no coming back after 20-0. Credit to the boys for never giving up and digging in, we looked like a completely different team in that last twenty. Think we was a bit lucky with the ref in the second half though, few dubious passes in a few of our tries watching it back.

Maybe so but the lead up to their first try included a clear obstruction when Mantellato ran behind Thornley who blocked Michaels and Fonua.
Bentham took ages to penalize them despite the constant holding down in the tackle and the challenge on Carlos.
Plus the first disallowed try could have gone either way and would almost certainly have been given if the game wasn't on TV.

First of all I just want to say well done to Rovers. For the first 60 minutes they were the better team. They played with more intensity, more enthusiasm and more energy. Fully deserved to be 20-0 up.
Up to that point I thought our performance was woeful. We were getting outplayed and there was little to no creativity in our play.
And then in that last 20 minutes we were superb. Simply unplayable. That is a comeback that will live long in the memory. And full credit to the team to show that spirit, that endeavour, to do that. Wow. Just wow.
But where was all that creativity in the first 60 minutes? Why did it take us being 20-0 down to take some chances and play more adventurously? Our style in that last 20 minutes was more like what we got in those opening matches.
Radford has to encourage this style of play to be our main style. It can't be just for the odd game or for a slight period of a game. If we keep playing that way we'll be a handful for most teams.
