Indeed. The incompetent sky crew just seemed intent on blaming the guy for losing it, they're pi*s poor. Ive said it for a while but i think its time for a change of commentators.

Where has that been said before?

I'm unsure of whether Stevo's sight has gone or he is that stubborn that once he has said something then he will stick by it regardless of what replays show. The most obvious example of this is when he claimed Myler's try was because it's the first time he'd taken the ball at speed. Yet the replay clearly showed Myler had mis-timed his run and was stationary on receiving the ball, not sure what happened to the French defenders for that try but made Myler look better than he was. Just hope Tomkins gets the nod for next week, though I can't see Smith dropping Myler.

His decision-making was excellent, particularly not going to the video ref. Technically he was very good, but agree with Dave T that there were too many penalties.

probably, told the centre "Just break him in gradually lads, he is only used to seeing the ball twice"

Killed the game for me .

Dont know if it has been mentioned but he saved a french try when he reefed the ball... stevo and eddie said that he "tried to offload"

Did you watch a different game?
Moore was very poor.Hence him been taken off after 20+ minutes and not getting back on the field.

Shenton for me had a good game and caused them a few problems.

Matty Smith?????????

Well done Tom solid game, enjoyed your try even more so as Fox was sat the seat in front of me

and i enjoyed saying good lad thats why your in there fox would have dropped that ball



As for the rovers fans sat nearby great credit to your club , with your daft songs, pi$$ed as ar4eholes, and your choice of the english language was 1st class

what more do you expect from the best team in super league

To be fair I think Moore took a heavy hit and looked a little concussed after it to be honest , he is one of this years stand out players in SL but deffo took a heavy one to the head, as for Shenton i think he played well to be fair to him, looked sharp strong and fast and caused his fair share of issues for them !!
Briscoe did all he had to do and the one he spilled if you go back over the vT shows he was hit before he collected the ball to fair to him also , and yes the ball steal over the line was a cracker right in front of my lot ... thought he had a good solid game.
Ellis was top class and deserved MOtm

Trophies....

i hope he dosn't start with roby, he's an impact player. he also told briscoe to go away when he came inside looking for work insisting on giving it to a forward every time - meat and drink to the aussies. we need more variation from the hooking role to stand any sort of chance.
like easmond though, if he gets good quick ball he could worry the aussies, especially out wide

how the hell is westwood in the team he is poor at international level

Westwood + Smith = Wire

why not have carvell there then

I expect Carvell to feature in the 4 Nations at some point.

Its a must for me. At times on Friday I just wished one of our props would run forward and put the French on the backfoot, instead we had the likes of Graham trying to be a scrum half.

don't you need a good team to do that

after watching Greg Inglis tearing up the Kiwis last night, young Tom maybe hoping that Fox gets the nod next week lol, i gotta feeling Smith and Briscoe are in for a busy night.

he will do a better job than fox would.

Best there is, best there was, and the best there ever will be.

WTF are you on about?
