Good close game and enjoyable to listen to for the neutral. Still think rovers missed a golden opportunity through with les cats not having a recognized hooker. Made them much weaker and rovers really should have taken advantage and the two league points. Still, long season and long way to go yet.
Catalans without a recognised hooker so Rovers missed a golden opportunity???? Rovers were without 1st choice hooker Lunt and 2nd choice hooker Lee themselves!
Not to mention 5 props unavailable (Jewitt, Scruton, Greenwood, Mulhern, Lannon). Then in the crucial closing stages Masoe & Garbutt go off with head knocks and suddenly any player left standing must play at prop!
I'm making excuses I know and Rovers had a great chance to win the game and were not able to. I accept that. But please if we are playing the 'missing player' card it was a photo finish at hooker and win for Rovers by a length overall!
