Got to totally disagree with this part, they were whole hearted and gave 110%, even til the end they wouldnt give up.
All credit to them.

Rovers and Welham performanced very well, but that was worst performance from the Crusaders I've seen all season and I'm including the first half in challenge cup game against Catalans!

I think it was always on the cards yesterdays result, especially after your tough cup game last weekend. We have been dreadful one a number of occasions after been dumped out of the cup in recent years.

granted nothing much went for you, but i was pleased to see your boys still trying hard at the end, they never gave up, and were still trying to play good rugby at the end, youve got to remember that your still a new team, players still getting used to each other as well as S/L. im sure Crusaders will improve year on year with a bit of stability.

How about Josh Hodgsons bit of skill to set up Dobson for his second(think it was)try, was great play. Im seeing some real quality about this kid.

Hodgson played really well didnt he, good speed out of dummy half, crisp passing and that great off load too. hes taken time to settle but looks the part IMO

Think he has settled in really well and pretty quickly, I think we would have seen alot more of him if it wasn't for injury.

He doesn't look out of place at all and the skill he showed yesterday in the build up to the try was fantastic, looks to have a real bright future, if continuing in this fashion.

Maybe because our contribution in all three games wouldnt have filled two lines.

You wouldn't have stuck 50 points on them if they were totally up for it mate

Is your assessment based on the fact they turned you over when most of their squad had only played 3 or so games together.

It's my assessment based on your inability to score tries against any half decent defence

We scored 36 points against the tightest defence in SL so far.

And only 3 tries in your previous 240 minutes of rugby

Thank god you've scored hundreds more points than us then

I'm always scoring points me

Crusaders never gave up, there heads didnt drop and they still threw the ball about even at the end, the playoffs are beyond them this season but i reckon reckon theres still a few more wins too come for them this season yet

Just a quick question, why did some of the KR fans in the East Stand, small minority mind, give the ref a hard time when he clearly signaled that the penalty was going Rover's way? This happened on several occassions, seemed a bit odd.

That's a very good question. A vocal minority simply yell at the referee whenever the opportunity arises regardless of the decision and who committed the penalty. I like the ones who flatly refuse to believe their own eyes and complain even when Rovers have clearly committed a penalty or, as happened on Sunday, blamed the Crusaders player for Lovegrove slipping and banging his nose onto the crusaders player's knee.

I think this particular brand of supporter is common to most teams.

Think the best is forward passes, that they blatently couldnt see from were they are standing, then you get the shouts of sideways/backwards afterwards



Only time i heard out from were i was stood was when they went over for the try, with a "4 points to the referee" chant. And the very odd chants about some geezer called Gary

My personal idiotic fan chant is the "cheat, cheat, cheat" one.

But only when followed up by the same people then chanting "you don't know what you're doing".

So which is it? If the ref doesn't know what he's doing then how can he also cheat.

Try and make sense you dozy Berkshire Hunt's.

I stand behind a guy who complains about everything. When the opposition kicker is down our side, he runs upto the boards & shouts & bawls at him, or the ref. He always moans about Dobbos kicking for touch, this week he was actually shouting & pointing to where he wanted Dobbo to kick it.

Hes got half a point imo, his distance gained is poor (improved lately though) and so are his kickoffs.

So it's you that stands in front of me!



TBH I do agree with him on some of Dobbos kicking for touch, I often think he should do a Mike Fletcher and use a Tee.
However this guy does make me laugh when he's pointing & shouting, "Over here Dobbo, kick it here".

Well he could be an incompetent cheat who really hasn't got his cheating house in order.
