Yeah Tompkins and Wilkin were good but I really didn't think much of peacock and that surprised me, given his stature in the game. It was great however to see three blokes champing at the bit to discuss the match and sharing their thoughts. I would like more of this in future since I don't feel we get enough from sky or BBC SL show. For some reason the chat on the SL show is very mundane and uninspiring

I'd be fuming if that was Motu Tony, the Rovers fans have just excepted it though, it's like he can do no wrong.
Great player, but you have to question if he is the right man for the job at Rovers.

I've got to admit that I thought Peacock for been seen as a leader & all his success at Leeds he really is bloody awful to listen too. Hate to say it but thought both Wilkin & Tomkins were very good, Peacock on the other hand for me personally was not good at all.
Peacock just seems to be more about self promotion of himself than anything else, but can't believe he was there when Rovers were playing and agree if it were the other way round and Motu was there as Hull fan I'd be a little peeved.
I really enjoy long walks especially when they are taken by people I don't like!

I don't really follow the championship but does he still work for Rovers ?

I would also like to see Talanoa take the ball up from the play the ball in motion rather than his usual standing start.he would make another 5 or 10 metres if he did

Depends on the play the ball though doesn't it. For a standard PTB at 'normal' speed, if you pick it up from dummy half in motion to make a scoot then you'll get easily telegraphed by the markers & A defenders as they know where you're going before you've even picked it up. At quick PTB's our players already do this & make decent yards.
