Credit to both teams, a great spectacle. I thought we probably just deserved it, so I'll take a point win.

When did we start going the screen to disallow tries for forward passes?

Mau for me. Connor did the flash stuff with the assists by jeez Manu was an absolute beast with the ball.

Carlos was brilliant IMO, but yes agree with Ma'u.

Looks like Manu is celebrating signing his new contract

Brilliant win in the end against the odds with Griffin, Fonua, Bowden, Satae etc out, Tag, Shaul, Connor and Savelio short of match fitness, Grub and Cator lost as interchanges. Highly satisfying. Not sure that Rovers will have quite enough against Saints at Old Trafford but they did their best. Carlos had the chubster Hall chasing shadows all afternoon with his footwork. 7 local players in the 17, how lovely for Jordan Lane to clinch it.

Can't believe the pkayer Lane has become this year. Not been overly impressed by him previously but he's come on leaps and bounds. He will be our captain in a few years (if not Cator).

The one Connor tipped on to Carlos at the end. Or did it touch a Rovers player on the way?

OK, I missed that, I was probably confused because the ref played on, so assumed it was play on.

Excellent win

Carlos should have slowed down and got tackled, quick ptb and we score with Thaler powerless to keep us out of it.
