not disputing that mate better team won and complaints here but the team deffinatly did not seem to have there mind on the job in the 2nd half, and yes dobbson murdered us today, i think thats what we could do with in our side (a scrum half who puts his boots on now and again)

The ref did give HKR field position a few times where they scored tries from them.

Our problem was we let dobson dictate everything on the field.
We never closed him down, he had a field day with the space we gave him.
On the other hand chase had a good first half, second half justin morgan sussed him out and he was closed out of the game. If only TM had done that with dobson the shoe might have been on the other foot come full time.

I think that was the key; Chase was awesome in the first half, then Newton seemed to be given strict instructions to close him down and did. I also think that going for those two penalty goals instead of going for a try, when we were struggling to defend was a mistake. But it was a cracking game.

KR were far better but can't believe how they were allowed to get away with the laying on and slowing down at the ptb

To be fair though the first 15mins Cas were laying on and doing all they could to slow Rovers down and when the penalties didnt come the Rovers players really started to take the micky out of the Ref!

I would deffinately say both teams were using similar spoiling tactics through the game and it seems in todays game it is all about playing the ref as much as it is playing the game. I know a lot of fans dont really like Silverwood but I dont often see him get played by teams he realises when people are taking the michael out of him and puts a stop to it. Think his biggest vice is he doesnt tend to like the fans getting on his back and sometimes seems to go a tad one sided if this happens.
