Thought Tony Smith was very good in defeat yesterday, in fact I've read a few good things from Rovers fans on Twittet, I wonder if it was the same on the secret forum, unfortunately not. Some classics

JB down under claimingg Lane was a meter offside, I've watched it a few times and he was at square marker and was square, ive got a photo on when Vete played the ball and he was square.

We were full strength, I'd say we had two really key players out in Satae and Griffin, they had two key players out in Abdul and Quinlan. We also had players coming back from injury and covid. 3 injuries during the game which adlfdected our bench usage

Worst Rovers have played this season also, what even worst than the defeat at Wakey and lucky win at Leigh.

It's great how bitter they are on their forum, where they cant be challenged.

What a fantastic game of RL that was, best derby for years, credit to Rovers for making it such a good game. Thought Sneyd, Connor, Reynolds combined brilliantly, such a shame Josh got an injury because we are going to need him.
MOM for me was Manu by a mile, he was devastating all game.
Wonderful to see the ground packed and the atmosphere rocking, really missed that.
Anyone catch the crowd figure, im guessing around 18,000?
Roll on Thursday hopefully a lot will return to cheer us on against a rejuvenated Tigers team, need to win that and then rest up for Salford BHM always a good away trip.

Not only was he onside, there were two rovers players stood offside by the side of Vete when he played the ball, and Lane still managed to get past them as well.

Bubbles, 3 umbrellas and a German Shepherd.
Mau was immense yesterday.
Never doubted him.
When he first arrived at training and senior pro's at the club were saying he was different gravy, well, I tend to roll with that.
