He just stopped him dead in his tracks on a one on one with Welham running flat out to smash his way over the try line.

What made it even more impressive was that Welham was completely wrapped up and could not put the ball down.

It was a very good tackle by tommy.

That's the second try saving tackle he has made in as many weeks. It was tremendous. He is looking like a very promising prospect on that wing, is Makinson. Secure under the high ball, working hard in defence, taking the ball up, got pace, looks for work, can score tries. If Garder is re-signed, he will have a fight on his hands getting his wing spot back if Makinson continues to develop at the present rate.

IMO, obviously.

Tackle of the season that mate right in front of me.

Good luck against the Pies hope you stuff them

You were as equally amazing as we were appalling, you are playing some fantastic rugby and it is a joy to watch

Well done again and hope you win the cup!

Im not sure Thaler helped us out much at the start of the game, 2 of the first trys looked dodgy to me. Both what looked like handling errors from Saints players from what I remember, would like to them on telly before I really start ranting and raving lol.

We was outclassed all over the park, which to be honest I expected.

Nice and easy. I didnt expect us to win by such a score, I was thinking maybe a 20 point win margin. We played very well, Hull KR were just torn apart and dismantled for fun. Real nice display from the redvee men.

He made two try savers with that one being as good as I've seen all season, I thought he was excellent yesterday.

The corporate man of the match was an odd choice however, I thought Shenton had a bit of a stinker considering our dominance. They must have had more of an eye on the champagne. Plenty of others to choose from too, any of the front row including Roby or Pryce for mine.

i thought he had a good busy day going forward, getting much more ball than we've been used to, mainly because of Leon's choice to go towards that side more than we're used to. We did try and force it a couple of times, but he's all of a sudden a lot more threatening. It will be interesting to see some highlights.

Not my MoM though.

I thought Rovers were poor yesterday. Defensively, not only did their defence sit back it also fell off far too many tackles and I think it's indicative of a team which has either switched off (although I can't see that with it being a cup quarter final) or run out of ideas. I'm thinking the latter because the last two years they've stagnated a bit and this year has been a drop from those stagnating years when I think their fans would have been hoping for pushing the top four. That Rovers haven't been able to push on suggest their game plan/coaching is stale and has fallen behind what's currently happening in the league.
