Really excellent from Rovers tonight, the sheer quality of the likes of Masoe, Mulhern and Lunt simply too much for Catalans to handle. This without Heff, Quinlan, Addy, Donaldson so as previously stated top 8 certainly looks a good bet with top 6 a clear possibility. And the commitment to full salary cap still to come. To roll Catalans big forwards over with ease must be especially pleasing for TS although not a spectacle for the neutral due to how one sided it was. With a run of softer games coming up we could well be cemented in the 6-8 by the time we face Saints at home.

A much needed win to get us off the mark and another step in the right direction. Very pleased.
Catalans were poor, but credit to Rovers for putting pressure on them. I thought our defence was excellent in the first half. Our tacklers seemed to be left on the floor a lot in the second half, but we generally to coped okay - the loss of Ailton won’t have helped them, I suppose.
Gutsy effort and good game management from the halfbacks. Should do their confidence some good from 1 to 17. Excellent from Lunt and Dagger looked pretty good for an 18-year old. And Tickle not bad for an old ‘un.

If I'd posted that you'd all accuse me of taking the peez
I'm sure you're pleased with the win but any decent side would have put 30 points on rovers and 60 on catalans. 2 really poor sides IMO
Breathe a sigh of relief that your board didn't appoint macnamara when they binned the ginner one or you'd be languishing in the championship right now

What do you think about 'rubbish' Danny Tickle (according to some Rovers fans on here) scoring for you ? Should have been disallowed I reckon, because he's old & crap !!

A very welcome 2 points on a bitterly cold night. I thought we defended well, Salter got a well deserved MOTM award built around his defensive game.
Catalans were even worse than thier middle 8’s visit last year, Mcbanana is really stamping his class all over them!
With 8 players still out injured ( and no cries about an injury crisis!) we at least have a foothold in the competition. Sheens reckons Greenwood, Scruton, Donaldson and Johnson are all close to returning.

You can't talk about injuries when Hull are doing it tough missing a winger

Good result Rovers, though Catalan were terrible. Thought everybody played well, but would like to see more from Carney, and is it just me or are Atkins kicks not deep enough?

I await the day when we actually get some credit it's always the other team were poor Catalans weren't great but I think a lot of that was down to how well we harassed them this team seems to have a lot of energy Mose put a good stint in tonight Salter deserved MOM Mulhearn gets better every week

Fully deserved your win, every team has a squad of players, is it your fault the replacements were part of a losing team. Catalans looked OK last 20 minutes, but to little, too late.
