I thought Frank had a great last 20 mins . He looked more effective out on the left .

I've watched the game on sky+ and, with the benefit of replays, there are several reasons to dispute trys for both sides. In a non-televised match we would have been 6-0 up very early on. The ref gave a try and there's no reason to believe he would have made a different decision if the cameras hadn't been there. That may have set a very different tone to the game.
Radford said in the post match imterview that he thought we were 'outstanding without the ball'. Outstanding is maybe too strong, but we weren't as bad as some would make out. What we did was make several unforced errors with ball in hand, some whilst in very good field position. This meant we put a lot of pressure on ourselves.
At the game yesterday, the discussion in our group, as the game progressed, centred on needing one break, one piece of luck that resulted in a try.
It came via, the brilliant, Shaul. Once that happened you could see Rovers wilt, and sure enough the flood gates opened.
A game lasts for 80 minutes. Only one team played for 80 minutes yesterday. A truly fantastic comeback. Well done to everyone involved.

Agree, looks so much comfortable on the left, when all 2nd rowers fit, should be simple interchanges, pritchard and mini on left, ellis and manu on right, front row and 13 with other 2 bench players, we've big players who can do big minutes, shouldt be a problem

Just needed to have faith, we are all used to us having the club shouting out pre season what we will achieve,we know our squad is the most professional we've had in a while, with some world class players included, just got to take it a game at a time, defeats will happen again, but it's if we learn from them, ie game management I believe we are learning & will continue to do so, working progress, got to get behind them & keep the KC rocking.
