Southstanders match report is positive.
Quote:KR were penalised to the hilt by Bentham, mostly for laying on in the tackle in an attempt to slow down the Rhinos game. KR arguably had the best of possession and position but the Rhinos were clinical on the break. The visitors definitely impressed and they will be a handful when the weather improves and the ground softens.

You were very sharp around the ruck and your line speed in defence was very good in the 1st half. You caught our right edge time and again and will cause team plenty of problems and given you had Green and Galea missing there are plenty of positives from this for you. On the downside when we upped the gears your left edge namely Welham and Hodgson couldn't cope with Watkins and your discipline was poor no matter how easty dresses it up you were warned more than once by Bentham but couldn't resist holding on the couple of seconds too long and the dump tackle on Burrow was rightly penalised.

I think you guys can take a lot of credit from the game, you outplayed us in certain parts of the game and as we do, we pulled away in the last 20 minutes. Reckon you guys could be a threat this season. Con Mika and Mickey Paea look like good players as does Graeme Horne. Great following as well, provided a great atmosphere. Good luck for the rest of the season!

Surely you're not suggesting easty's view isn't impartial?

How on this earth is that rightly penalised when he was never taken above the horizontal? Did he penalise us for showing aggression in the tackle or maybe it's our fault Burrows is only 3ft 2 and weighs 75kg?

I have to disagree with the tackle on Burrow, Paea picked him up, tipped him on his back and threw him to ground, he never went above the horizontal. Other than that I think there were more than a couple of grapple tackles/high shots that went unpunished. Anyway, regardless of the ref it was a good game and there were plenty of good signs for both teams.

Yes but when he's got all his winners rings on he weighs more than any of your forwards. You were beaten because despite playing for 60 minutes you fell apart for the last 20. Watkins has beefed up but the way he ran through your left hand side defence for the last couple of tries will worry your coach. Your forwards were awesome in the first half but a game lasts for 80 minutes.
