Obviously disappointed to lose the Derby, but considering we played with 12 men for 65 mins, that was a very good performance. I watched the game back last night and our play 40-60 mins was excellent. We had them on the back them on the back foot and some of their players were blowing. However, with 12 men you are always at risk at been exposed and that what Rovers did with the Batchelor try.

No complaints about the Cust sending off. Thought that in the ground and also watching it back on TV. At least as bad as Senior at Cas the other week, so I?m expecting at least a 2 match ban to follow. I noticed him sarcastically applaud the referee as he came off at the end of the game. Didn?t like that. If Cust stays on, we potentially win that game yesterday. 


Great to see the overall improvement this season and a pleasure to see our improved defence and attacking options. Certainly expect our general thoughts of 8th this season, being upgraded to a play off spot. Just need to improve our discipline, as someone else mentioned, on top of yesterday?s red we have had a spate of yellow cards recently, which is primarily down to the players not the referee.


Happier times ahead though and nice to see us competing again.

I have no issue with the red. It looked bad.The ref and vr can't look at it all day the have to make a decision.


I doubt Cust was being deliberate but thems the breaks.


And let's be honest is anyone suprised the first red goes to us?


We have to be super clean.

Pryce would have got the red for attacking precious Ikkle Mikeys shoulder with his head.

I just think it was an unavoidable collision so you are penalising the player and team for something they cant do anything about unless they don't challenge for the ball 

my  view of the cust red card is this.
ive watched it so many times, both cust and morgue are goign for the ball, you can see custs hands going for it. morgue gets it the ball a split second before cust. from there, how are you supposed to pull out. running at full speed and less than a foot away.


not only that, grant claims there is no mitigation,  but when you look at morgue, his legs are bending before contact, so lowering from his height (which is already small)
all those things mentioned above is mitigation surely? 


i never thought it was a red. even the on field ref gave a drop out. my kr friend i was watching it with said sin bin. she was stunned at the red card.


then you get JWH clear punch to asiata face. linesman right inline with it and says nothing. rfl have 3 different camera angles of it and say "unclear"


was stevie wonder on the board?


one more thing both me and my kr friend noticed was JWH try. hiku knocks the ball onto briscoe in the air (knock on) yet they said nothing about that and awarded the try.


her words from that game were "thats our get out of jail free card used up" 

also, i believe JC commented on the "hit off th ball"


sezer got hit 3 times off the ball against wire and nothing. again sezer and pryce hit off th ball vs kr. nothing


yet asiata got penalised for contact with lewis...
