like I keep saying under the radar

Hopefully we carry on performing well (I know we will lose eventually) but hopefully we don't do a Cas and lose our best players at the end of the season. I don't think we'll be top 6 but could be pushing for the top 8 if we keep performing like we are at the moment.

Even when it was nip and tuck in the first half, it always felt like a game we were going to win.

I thought Kelly's kicking was very good in the first half, but he went quiet in the second half. Miller looked good, and it was good to have him there for when Smith got tied up in a tackle. I think he set up Riley's second try like that, took over when Smith was tackled. But Tim Smith was superb today. Ran everything.

The only disappointment was the loss of a scapegoat in Richard Owen, because I thought he did just fine today. Who we going to turn on now he's doing okay?

Did anyone see if Paul McShane was injured during the game? Had a cracking first half for me and noticed we left Godinet on late til the end?

I'll give your team credit. Good win for you guys. Hoped for a different outcome, but was never to be. You've a good coach in Webster, I'd have him in a heart beat back at KR.
You'll do well this year. apart from the return game at ours.

Think they left Pita on because he was playing well.

Pretty sure McShane finished the game? Played last 15 mins?
I think McShane and Godinet compliment each other, both have different game styles and do their respective style well and know what to do and when.

I think NGB4C will try to keep the scapegoat tag on him

Don't think McShane was injured, just that Godinet was mixing it up well at acting half and not flagging.
Only brought him off when he did a big run.

I suspect it was the game plan. Use McShane's bulk and defence to tire them out, then use Pita's pace and guile when they're tired.

The encouraging thing for me is that we're beating the teams we have to be beating to avoid the bottom four. Give me four points against Cas and Hull KR than four points against Saints and Wigan any day.

Not half,Pita is outstanding,HKR couldn't live with his scoots from Dummy half.Well done to all





And what a difference Bailey made when he came on

Congratulations to the whole team today. That was a great performance and one of the best I've seen at Belle Vue for a long time

Like I've said on another thread it was wonderful to see some of the attacking play today. With Smith, Miller, McShane and Godinet their defence didn't know where the next attack was coming from. Some of the passing reminded me of 50 years ago. An old man can dream once in a while!

Got to love it when an opposition coach refuses to give us any credit; we only ever seem to win when the other team plays badly!

well I had you down as favourites to get him

Didn't Chester also say these words 'Wakefield well deserved the win.'

Was on my way back from Scarborough and listened on radio Humberside, they played a recording of an interview with both Webster and Chester and it appears they are good friends and met up night before as chester lives in Wakefield area so dont think theres anything to worry about on the frienship side.

Chester is a Wakey lad, seen him at Belle Vue many times. I'm sure he's not that hurt that he's lost to a team he supports.

To be fair, when your team crashes & burns like Rovers did yesterday, the last thing I want to hear is my team coach praising the opposition. He rightly should put the focus on his own team, just saying "Wakefield were better than us" would be a cop out and the fans know it.

Same goes for any beaten coach.

Webster said , you'd picked up a couple of niggles , one of them Matty Ashurst i think , came back on 1/2 way through the 2nd half but only lasted 5 minutes and was replaced , he walked off at the end with ice on his groin, hopefully not too serious , not sure who else was injured though.

You fully deserved your win yesterday,and while chester said pre season "poching is rovers best signing as defensive coach" and our board dilly dallied what to do with sandercock,your board produced a masterstroke recruiting webbo as coach,the man who should have been recruited by rovers.Its no good signing a decent squad and having a cr@p coach.Good luck to you for the rest of the season except against us.

Yet despite all that we didn't actually score a decent try, love it just love it.

All your tries were crap.

Like all your players?
