Managed to get round to re watching the game. Thought watching it live Rovers got most if not all of the 50/50 calls, re watching it only adds more weight that opinion. The sooner we get rid of the try/ no try video ref decision the better.
Thought Connor, Ma'u, Sao and Carlos were huge for us. Carlos must be our best overseas import of the last 10 years.
Thought we controlled it for large parts. Even when Rovers had alot of good ball, they didn't look like the had anything particularly special to break is down.
It was good to see Sneyd, Grub and Connor combine. We showed some nice variation with the ball. Connor looks to take so much pressure off the rest of the spine.
Special mention to a certain poster calling for Shaul at hooker. Thought he give it a decent go, although I'd like to see him have a few more games before I join the revolution!
Parcell and Milnes looked good for Rovers, Linnet too. But Vete and Sims are garbage.
On a side note I was cringing so bad when Mcdermott kept calling Linnet the 'Big Red Machine' I get we need a create characters, but give it a rest.

Rovers best signings have come from raidinging Bradford's academy Hull players Radford messed about and George King.
I was surprised given the size of Vete how little impact he had when he ran the ball in or rather plodded, he hardly made any metres from contact. As for the commentators saying 'he crashed in to score' and 'no one will stop him close to the line' it was the fact we'd left a huge gap in the defensive line after a player shot out to try and cut out the pass (possibly Lane) and all he had to do was plod through virtually unopposed.
King is by far their best and I've been impressed with him to be fair, he's not the biggest but certainly gives them more go forward than Vete or Sims
I really enjoy long walks especially when they are taken by people I don't like!

I believe it was the ever dependable Danny Houghton who managed unsuccessfully to get in between Big Albert and the try line, I think Danny had to be taken to Cliff Pratt’s to be re inflated.

You're doing Vete a disservice - he put a decent shot on Cameron Scott too
