We were our own worst enemy,bombing chances with bad handling and bad passing,difficult conditions I know but we have difficulty passing to each other.As mild rover says we would have took a point each time we fell behind,but we deserved at least a point maybe more,despite his rick charlie was probably our mom.Imo.

Charlie was nowhere near mom. Donaldson was mom by a country mile.

I thought donno was good,but he only played a couple of stints,charlie played the full 80,and iam not a big fan of charlie,but he kept going for the full 80,and made decent ground forward and saved a certain try when we were 16-10 down.

You don't get anything out of games by playing like a shambles so it is a pretty harsh description. Who is he anyway?

Disjointed is a better description but that would apply to both sides in attack. Some of that would be down to the conditions and some of it down to rustiness.

Rovers showed some steel which frankly I didn't think they had.

Apart from dropping a kick with no opposition player within 20 metres of him, resulting in a try, and throwing out terrible passes every time he joined in the line, he did just about ok. He wouldn't be in my top 10 today though!

It was like a first preseason friendly, we looked really rusty at times. So to come away with a point after not playing well at all is pleasing. we showed a lot of fighting spirit

Dane Tilse is still garbage too, Mulhern got dominated nearly every time he took it in, Thornley was going for a knock on record, Minns looked solid, Clarkson solid.

Rovers showed some rubbish which frankly I didn't think they had.

Was a tweet prior to our first score at 0-6, rather than an overall assessment of our 80 minute performance.

Also described Cas as 'not exactly playing like the Harlem Globetrotters' or similar.

He's a RL and football journalist, apparently.

Is 'rubbish' a swear filter substitution?

He writes for the Guardian and League Express. He described the first half as "turgid" and labelled some of KR's defending as "horrific". Bradford based so maybe a West Yorkshire bias going on.

Not quite reached the giddy heights of 6th. We are 7th. Would be 6th if our name started with A or B!

Re: Opener versus Cas Tigers : Sun Feb 07, 2016 6:35 pm  

Scrappy game but understandable given the conditions. Definitely a point gained for Rovers who showed a lot of spirit and kept going right to the end.
