Before the game I would have taken that, but not at half-time.

Ditto.

Absolutely couldn't agree more Sir.

how did fozzard play on his debut ???????

Not bad, nothing amazing, just a solid performance not many mistakes.

Sums it up for me too.



Bradford's pack is gonna be a handful for any team this year though I thought their half-backs lacked creativity (considering the amount of time they spent camped on our line) and their backs are woeful.



What was the penalty count anyway?

heard 10-4 on the radio but i only caught snippets. Sounds like it was a good game and a cracking following as well.



edit 10-4 on the pen count

Thaler had a very poor game, kept Bradford in it with some very strange decisions!



We deserved both points on offer and not just the one got.



Bradford - they were exactly what I expected from them, good go-forward from their pack but pretty clueless in the backs.



Our defensive display was a credit, we defended our own line solidly. Although Thaler gave plenty of confusing penalties we didnt help ourselves out with a fair amount of handling errors. I thought our kicking game could have been better yesterday.

I thought Newton was rock solid in defence but MOTM for me was clearly Briscoe, he made one error all game and if he was another yard closer to the Newton(think it was him)break in the second half, he could have easily added a try to his game.



I think both teams will be pretty happy with the result, Rovers more so as Bradford will be a difficult place this season to get any sort of result. Both teams also have plenty of improvement in them.

IMOH Brisc played OK but he made three bad errors, one from a high ball, dropping a pass from Ben Fisher that should have resulted in a try and also knocking on near our line. But typical Briscoe pulls off a couple of try savers...100% effort tho'



My MOM was Walker who has continued to impress me this season.. absolutley rock solid in defence and with some good offloads



Plenty to build on with a defence like that. A big improvement looks possible

I dont see any mistakes Briscoe makes







I forget to mention another well done to Welham, I know a try was scored in his corner but the kid is showing a huge amount of maturity. He never had many attacking chances yesterday but once again looked solid in defence.



Same with Chev yesterday, no crazy sprints out of the defensive line and getting caught out of position, kept his head well and had a very good game!

great, best signing this year.

My motm, hope he can stay injury free
