| When you pulled it back to 10-8 with 7 minutes left, I wasn't that surprised you went on to win the game (listening to the commentary) We didn't have that much ball 2nd half, due to conceding penalties and mistakes. BUT when the commentator thought Joe Cator had scored midway through 2nd half, I thought "Yes, we're going to win this !" Sadly for us it was not to be, but after they way you played at Saints and home to Leeds in your previous 2 games, proud of our Lads. Good luck v Hull next week...

| The prop thing is a real worry now. Hopefully Garbutt was just a precaution, because with Masoe now out for several weeks it is already looking pretty grim.
Ahhh, the romance of the cup.
Credit to Leigh though - to travel over after a day’s work can’t be easy.

| I bet, just checking the live updates was pretty depressing until towards the end.
Winning with no Scruton, Greenwood, Masoe, Garbutt, Jewitt or Lannon, our lads deserve some credit too. It can’t be easy for Lawler for example. The fates do seem to enjoy trampling on my hopes - the one thing I felt confident about this year was that I wouldn’t be writing games off because our pack was too lightweight. Or at least not as many. That went well.

Lawler is a machine but he can’t do it all on his own does anyone know anything about Scruton

| I actually quite enjoyed the game it didn't surprise me that it was tight. Leigh put up a great show and their goal line defence was excellent.
The one position you can't make and do is front row forward and when Garbutt pulled up in the warm up we were left with Mulhern only. Robbie hasn't quite hit the heights this year himself but when he was spelled we were fronting up with Lawler and Addy. Credit to them both for playing out of position in the most demanding of roles but it wasn't hard to see why Rovers struggled, really.
In modern day RL most teams play with 5 prop forwards, 2 starting props 2 on the bench and another at 13. The idea to be having a constant supply of fresh big men in the middle. If you only have one as Rovers did at Huddersfield and again tonight then the game becomes much more difficult, almost impossible.
That's no disrespect to Leigh who were without their dual reg players and put up a great effort. They were the better team overall and were unlucky IMO.
