Fantastic effort from a patched up side. I was baffled by Thaler on several occasions tonight but despite that I thought we were worthy winners in the end.

Up the Robins.

It was fun. Didn't think we had a win in us when we went 3 scores behind. All energy rather than smart play but they deserved the win. Poor lad on the wing had a bit of a mare...tackled well though. Charlie was excellent again...possibly our player of the season so far? Marsh is starting to develop a bit. Tilse has his knockers but he's now the only player not to miss a game this season.

Was disappointed at the number of times the 3rd / 4th Giants defender attacked the legs. More than I've noticed from other sides. They were treading a fine line tonight.

Great and deserved come from behind win tonight. Gutsy and full of intent.

We played with a passion, urgency and tempo especially in that second half that I have not witnessed so far since the first half of the home derby this season and also for the first time since that same game, the noise and atmosphere from the home support was outstanding and really energised the team.

Tilse, Allgood and Lawler all immense tonight. Albo gradually wore his new coral pink boots in and really warmed to his task. Minns and Thornley are really looking like a half decent pair of centres and will be starters for years to come. Clarkson had a great defensive game too.

The new winger was dodgy under the high ball and Larroyer was a liability.

Thaler made some really bizarre decisions as always.

Overall a great game and superb performance with a weakened team, which sets us up nicely for next week. COYR.

We threw that one away I thought, at 19-6 the game was seemingly over!
Not too fussed about it really although disappointed we let a 3 score lead slip!
See you again soon I suspect?

Is thaler still a cheat or is that just when you're losing

Been going on for a while

From 2012

HULL KR have made a second complaint of the season to the Rugby Football League regarding Super League referee Ben Thaler, the Mail understands.

The latest complaint follows an alleged incident at the Robins' home game against St Helens earlier this season, which ended in a dramatic 36-36 draw.

Rovers had led the game at MS3 Craven Park going into the final minutes, before Saints snatched a point with a penalty for a high tackle in the final minute.

Sources have told the Mail Rovers later received a letter from one of Thaler's support team on the day of the game.

It is thought to have raised issues of potential concern to the Robins, relating to comments made by Thaler in the dressing rooms, leading to KR making an official complaint in recent weeks.

Sources have told the Mail that Rovers had already made one complaint about the official this season to RFL bosses following their 20-12 loss to Catalan Dragons.

It was a match that left coach Craig Sandercock furious with Thaler's display and he was critical in media interviews afterwards.

It came after Thaler awarded a controversial try to Dragons' winger Damien Blanch in the 56th minute, despite what appeared to be a knock-on in the build-up, a decision which Sandercock blamed for the game swinging in the hosts' favour.

Rovers and Thaler have a chequered history and, back in 2009, former coach Justin Morgan branded his officiating as 'absolutely disgraceful' following a 30-8 home loss to Huddersfield.

Morgan was scathing in his assessment, but was fined £4,000 for his outburst, of which £2,000 was suspended.

An RFL, spokesman said: "Clubs often raise concerns over a referee's display through the right channels, but an official complaint is quite rare.

"Hull KR did contact the RFL following the match between Catalan Dragons and Hull KR in February, raising concerns about the performance of referee Ben Thaler.

"The RFL have been working with Hull KR on those concerns and will be speaking to the club in due course with their findings."

Our players obviously thought it was seemingly over too!
Good attitude from KR. They showed an attitude we lack and credit where it's due, they won the game because they was better, not because we lost the plot.

Just seen the pen try again, how he gave that as kicked out and a definite try is unbelievable.

Looking at the tries back again a few of them could have been chalked off.
