not read all the thread but personally thought your hooker (was it lovegrove?) was outstanding and took full control of the game, admittedly on the back of a strong pack performance, and he would have been my MOTM for you guys.

great support as well, i would reckon about 2k

Rovers and Wakefield fans appear to be joined in a hatred of Wakey's new found enemy, I like it!


Credit to Agar and Jimmy Webster, they've assembled a decent team there, whether or not they can play like it remains to be seen.
Lauititi seems to have become somewhat of a cheap-shot merchant though, which is a shame as he was a great player.

Haha, I reckon we took about 4.5k fans to Wakey, according to what I saw on the radio. How many do you reckon we took?

Where can I get a radio like yours?

I'm actually Chris Park, just fatter. I counted, there were 2197 physically there, but some extra "virtual" fans. Quantity unconfirmed, but at least 1. Not sure whether to include former Rovers pivot, Ben Cockayne. He'll be counted as a Rovers fan, right? I'm drifting off course a bit here. Sorry.

Just watching the tries on sky and I reckon that's what sandercock was on about late shots on players

Chris Chester was going ballastic over Lauititi's blatant off-the-ball challenge on Dobbo after 25 mins. It turned the game to an extent, and then to rub salt into the wound the ref [dick sin binned Taylor for what was an innoculous incident - I wonder what Mr Cummings has to say about these two incidents!!!!

Nevertheless, amongst all of this adversity Rovers stood tall and put in an outstanding defensive display. We are going to need this mentality next week against Saints, but lets enjoy this rare victory at Belle Vue. Two points in the bank and the monkey off Sandy's back lol!

The list of lossless teams is similarly lacking one of the Hull clubs. Can you guess which?

The Wakey Chairman said Rovers contingent was 'a big turnout' - make of that what you want lol!

I reckon it was about 2,000 plus 2 (Fox and Mariano who both kindly dropped =#FF0000Edit-AS to our advantage).

Congrats on the win - first class defending, coupled with your pack tearing it up the middle saw you worthy winners.

But have to admit that I agreed with the Sinbinning, clearly a pro foul - but in the end didn't really cost you.

Oooh. A fantastic new competition. GUESS THE WORD.

"Their testicles" is my bet.

Well played KR, deserved it for a fantastic defensive effort, We just weren't clinical enough to beat you when we had the chance. Good support, good fans, apart from the woman who told me to 'treasure ben cockayne, he is what coke is to crack'



, I reckon there was about 1.5k there today. Better side won on the day, good luck for the rest of the season.

Mr Cummings will not say anything about the alleged off the ball incident as it is a disciplinary issue. He will say that the sin binning was completely correct as the delay of a 20 metre restart is an automatic sin binning and anyone knowing the laws would know this.

Only Taylor will know if it was a cynical foul, it looked as if he didn't hear the whistle, I clearly heard it from the other end of the ground so for me it was correct for him to get ten minutes.

didnt get there 4 the match for those who went is there anyone who really stood out and anyone who got a could do better o.t radio blunderside commentry "and cockaynes in at the corner for rovers"

Stand outs were (1) Clinton (2) Josh Hodgson (3) Conn Mika. Nobody really "could do better" (apart from Robert Hicks, but that's a whole new story), it was a brutal defensive effort that could not have suceeded if they all hadn't worked for each other.

Withers went well, looks sharp and plays with a bit of intelligence, he'll prove to be a good acquisition.
Mika looked dangerous, powerful and looking to offload or draw a man. Went for a massive hit in the first half, hilariously missed by miles and ended up giving Paea a big cuddle.
Clinton was like the Clinton of old.
Mature display from Josh Hodgson, good scoots out of dummy half and is deceptively strong.
Webster took the ball up with vigour and defended well.

Welhams defence is still an issue, dropping off tackles and missing.
Really not sure about McDonnell so far, he'll no doubt benefit from a firmer pitch going forward but his defence, particularly one on one looks suspect.
Cox still looks like he hasn't got over being battered from pillar to post by Catalans in last years play off mauling. No real issue at his age.

ty sandra and sir stan work commitments kept me away but hopefully wont miss many more

Bentham should have gone for 10 at the Leeds game then, he clearly delayed our 20m re-start and lost us the advantage.

i agree about mcdonnel i think his attack will be his thing not defence and welham has looked poor in defence again but then again im not his biggest fan

I just asked him on twitter and he said " no mate accidental"

Does it matter if Taylor heard him or not? i thought this rule was for attacking players that havent heard him call held (last season they would lose there advantage)?
It was a professional foul that stopped the attacking side from been quick with a restart - IMO he deserved to get the yellow and cant see any other way it could of been.

NO, that was my point, I heard the whistle, but it looked to me (confirmed by PAC, the weird stalker) that Taylor didn't.

Mistake or not, it caused Wakey to lose an advantage (we've seen Fox go the full length a couple of times in those situations) and Taylor was correctly given ten.

The Ali Lau off the ball was nothing, I suspect it may have looked worse with most of the KR fans being behind the sticks and quite far from the incident,

Got to say though, I thought your defence was outsanding and coupled with the loss of your a few key players/the sinbin it was a well deserved victory for you guys

All the best for the rest of the season HKR

Yep that is how it looked.
As far as Taylor was probably concerned Ben was breaking away to score so he tackled him.
Still makes the yellow card correct BTW.
