Many thanks from your Sydney fans

What's your line up ?

Sounds like a mish mash to be fair.
Just made about 9 changes in the space of a minute lol

Started with a strong line up and then as happens in friendlies a lot of switching around as the game progresses. Nice to see Hall getting a try though. Hope the lad does well.

Caught a bit of the commentary today, heard Webster got a knock, although it seemed to be his groin. Any further news?

How'd the new signings go? Did Green play? According to a Hudds fan your kicking game was quite poor (though so were the conditions).

I know Green and Dobson started, not sure how they got on though as I only caught bits of it whilst I was in the car. ATEOD though, you don't take too much from the friendlies as a whole and any game time the halfback pairing have is going to beneficial to them as they go on.

Went to the game today firstly we took a good crowd, as for the game it was bit rusty in the first half Green never saw much of the ball first half, the 2nd half was much better i thought Dobbo was struggling a little when he first came back out hamstring maybe, Webbo was great in defence never really broke the line but considering we were playing the full first team squad of the giants for 70 minutes and first game back there are a lot of positives. What impressed me was the youngsters Scot Taylor and Beaumont, Craig Hall was pretty okay for first game, Briscoe went of and never came back on, don't know if anyone else noticed but Newts has put a bit of weight on, i think this was a great game to blow the cobwebs of and showed Morgan were we are at, but looking at the 2nd half display i think were gonna do pretty well this season.

Oh and Mr Alibert was er well i will leave it there some bizarre decisions but im not going to blame the ref lol

I heard about Mr Alibert's exploits, obviously didn't use the off season trying to learn how to ref. Yes, as you say it's all about blowing off the cobwebs, risky game though as I remember when we played Hudds a few years ago and it roughed us up a lot and we gained quite a few injuries (as always :p ). Must have been nice to see some Rugby though, can't wait for the season!

Yeah was great to see some rugby although it was a tough game to start with and they have prob got a few bruises hopefully we won't be to sore. Webbo's defence was fab at times and I think Hall will do okay and as ever Ben cockayne was everywhere.

I've only seen Scott Taylor a few times but he looks a fantastic prospect, i hope he gets a chance if his form is better than some of the bigger names.

Thanks to the fans that came down and for you to applaud Eorl Was great to see. Great run out for the players, both teams looked a little rusty (especially the passing). Good luck in the oncoming season and will see ya then.

At fault for their first two tries and his continual lack of discipline and his high mistake rate has to be a worry.

Didn't go to the game and dipped in and out of the radio, but he sounded to be having a bit of a nightmare in the first half.

Was anyone else disappointed that Big Eorl didnt come accross to the rovers fans at the end? Chanting his name at the end and yet he still didnt come over. 30 seconds hard work that must take.

Congratulations to your fans who came over and gave Eorl standing applause at both the beginning and end of the match. It's what makes our game the greatest.

Yes thought the same at first, then I noticed him shaking hand with the Hudds fans in the stand, so quite understandable really.

Big Eorl is a popular player, I would love him at Rovers, he plays it hard and deserves his applause.

He didn't come all the way over to us but Earl and the Huddersfield players came across to the 40 and applauded the Rovers fans. The chant of Crabtree give us a wave prompted it. Maybe missed it as alot of Rovers fans where leaving by this point.

WRONG.

He wasnt with the rest of the Hudds players when they came to the 40. He was already signing autographs at that point, only a little anoyying as he quite easily could of come over and thanked us then signed some autographs.


P.S. = the programme was a classic

it might not have been a classic, but it was free with entry

He often gets caught out in defence when he's playing on the wing and with Webster having not plyed for a while it was a risk. As soon as he switch to FB he did OK in defence. He gave his usual silly penalty away for arguing with the ref; but that's alway's going to happen.

You do realise Webster was at right centre and Cockayne on the left wing??

Exactly, [ivery[/i out of position.
