Only saw the first half before leaving for work.

One thing though, our lack of composure and trying to build things and setting a platform before attacking the right side was poor. We went that way to often and early for it to stretch there defence.

We won a super league game playing with 12 men for 72 minutes. I am not sure how many times I have witnessed that it my life but not many. Something for sure to crow about imo

a lot of you were crapping before the game, but yet telling us for a couple of years how good you are and how poor we are, discipline and foul play is part of the game, hardly your star player who left the field early,a good job for you it was rovers today otherwise another loss

Not seen many saying otherwise? As fans we can only react on what our teams serve up.. party time for Hull. Another post mortem for us . Should never be losing that but we did.Not as devo as MPG but a similar sense of disbelief

After what had gone before in 2016, I was glumly despondent but far from disbelieving at the end of the MPG.

Today was nowhere near as bad, in terms of disappointment or consequence. The dismissal gave us a chance, but it’s not like I suddenly switched from worried to confident. More worried, to slight less and differently worried.

At least it was eventful, I guess!

I said imo you are on the decline judging by previous 2 seasons, and watts who was not overated like taylor is a massive miss, were did I say anybody was an awful team

The previous 2 seasons we finished in the top 4. At present we're in 6th. The only bad result we've had is losing to Salford. Getting beat away to Wigan (who were also away!), Cas and Leeds is nothing to complain about. Definitely not enough to say we are in decline.

You didn't play a full strength team. You had three missing, we had two - and lost a man after nine minutes.

You didn't do well. At all. Don't kid yourself. Rovers ARE a Super League team,and you couldn't beat a team who were a player down for 70 minutes.
Conceding 30 points against 12 men is an embarrassing defensive effort.
