Quote ="kitche"On the fact when lovegrove got involved in the incident this inspired him to return and even surpass his previous form,now this concerns me to think we often get cheated by players and this certainly does not only apply to said player but I pay good brass to watch them and feels this should not happen but do appreciate they are human ( rant over and out)'"
Rhys was elbowed in the face simple as that and was disappointed he retaliated as he did -- listening to the commentary he was totally slagged off for his response. His improved form resulted primarily from the fact he was playing left side second row -- his preferred position. He will obviously play for HKR wherever required (he has played every position apart from half, hooker and full back) but unfortunately has always had to defer to more "high profile" and much higher paid players for the left side second row spot. Rhys played left side second row at all times in Australia even representing Australian Schoolboys and NSW 17 and 19 year old State of Origin sides in this his natural position, he will always play his best footy from the left side second row. To be fair he was told to wear his "angry pants" for this game as he was a couple of years behind Justin Poore right thru High School and we knew Justin would not take kindly to playing second fiddle to Rhys in any way. Have no fear, Rhys holds the Rovers fans, particularly those who pay their hard earned money to attend games in far too high a regard to "cheat" any of them, he is well aware of the value of a pound and earns every penny he receives giving 100% at training, playing and representing the Club. Your interest in Rhys and comments are always appreciated.
