To be fair to Campese, sounds like he played the game with some pain in his hamstring. I think I'd probably moan if I'd have been rushed back and playing through an injury. He's out this week because he's 'not being risked'. Ridiculous.

Taylor has been brillant easily our best signing. To think some people thought he would be a downgrade on Micky Paea (who was a good player), Taylor is in a different league though.

Risked against us but not against Catalans, wonder why

The daft thing is, any other game and they wouldn't have played him. In a way, I can see why they've done it. If they'd have got the win it could have been a real confidence booster ahead of their last 8 games. It clearly backfired though, and he's now out for this weekend and they lost the game.

When the most important objective for the season for Rovers is to beat Hull, it's understandable why they'd do it.
I imagine Webster got the call from a pi£4ed up Hudgell the night before, "make sure you play Campese tomorrow James, we've got to beat the Dullers tomorrow, you know how important it us to us all here James".

I can understand their desire to beat us, I feel the same animosity towards them.
Just makes me laugh that they've potentially thrown away any chance they had of getting in the 8 by risking one of their best players for a game against us, when an extra week off could have seen him finish the season.
On the secret forum, a certain poster has suggested there players have a Kitty set up and pay out to whoever gets taylor to "leave the field on a stretcher". This is apparently due to his "vicious premeditated assault" on Minns. I'll just leave that here. But anyone who fancies a gander, its under the title "cheating thug taylor"

Was it RBA? Said the best we could hope for this year would be pinching 8th spot off Rovers, so similar level of balance.
