looks like i may be the only one that WASNT impressed with Fox then, he came in way off the wing way to often and left to much space out wide for me, also wasnt to impressed with Colbons "challenge" for the ball for Kings try.

Cockayne was excellent and Fox was very good IMO. There was NO forward who could come out of that game with any credit at all, anybody who suggests otherwise is just clutching at straws. Rovers were bullied all over the park in a very disappointing manner.

Also the idiots who cheered when Walker went off should be ashamed of themselves.

Absolutely, they are nothing short of moronic muppets, its obviouse some of these planks have never played a game of rugby in their lives, they would probably run a mile at the thought.
Its never nice to sustain an injury on the field of play either in ameteur or proffesional sport and those who mock an injured player realy should be ashamed of themselves.

I always think you are injured and the oopposition fans cheer it could be taken as a compliment but cheering at your own injured player is pathetic.

Scumbags.

Got to agree about Cockayne, looked very assures at FB and as always ran the ball out with enthusiasm that looked to be missing from the rest. Fox was ok, ran out well and looked to be trying. Colburn had his worst game in a rovers shirt but so did a few others. As usual RL express gave dobbo our MoM, sure thwy think he's our only player and thought he was off the pace today. saying that he never got a lot of help from our runners.

For me we're too predictable and generally only looked like scoring from kick throughs, I was encouraged in the last few weeks that we were running the odd angle but its still not often enough and teams will realise that if you snub dobbo's kicking, you stop us.

Hopefully this is just a blip and maybe a reality check that we needed, too many pundits biging us up, and thought we only had to turn up.

A top quality centre must be top of our shopping list for recruitment for next season.

League Express gave Dobson as your MOM whats your thoughts as nobody seems to have mentioned him on here.

Ben Cockayne, without an element of doubt was my MOTM.

I feel some reporters just pick an overseas player for the sake of it. Having listened on radio seemed as though Cockayne was the standout

He certainly was the stand out which is why I cant understand the Albert Goldthorpe Medal 2pts going to Dobson however its good to see him leading the way ahead of Richy Horne.

Dobson's general kicking and speed of thought is brilliant.

I personally dont like Cockayne at all, but he was excellent for you yesterday.

As a player or a person?
