Noticeable by his absence.

Think that was Dwyers best game for us really added impetus.

Cam Scott and McIntosh get a lot of stick from some fans but have both been excellent last few weeks. When sutty is back I reckon Scott should get a go in back row. He’s earned his spot.

Missed some strike today, felt Ligi went ok but was a bit lethargic and Satae was a bit scruffy in some parts. Probably cliffs worst game for us but was still pretty solid but that’s just me been hyper critical

I think he keeps his centre spot. Maybe shift Carlos to second row.

I still think we've been slow on a move to bring a decent second rower in. Lane has shown frailties in defence earlier in the season and today his skill set was poor.

Still got Griffin missing for 3 more games. Who knows with Andre? While some people are claiming we have easier games coming up, I think our opposition will be thinking the same when they look at our back row.

When Rovers lost Abdul: they at least have shown some ambition by gluing in a halfback from down under.

We release Evans from our first team roster and don't bring anyone in.

I think if we can get a decent second row then I think we'll have a good looking squad with depth to attack the back end of this season.

I'm actually impressive how Rovers have turned into such a team in such a short space of time

It feels like Rovers are flapping like us last season. Maybe it's the difference between bringing in an experienced head coach and hiring a rookie.

I’d agree that Scott should keep his place as he was again good today and pressure is really in Carlos to start performing.
McIntosh & Scott have had the criticism and rightly so in the most part but both have stood up strong of late and deserve credit.

Sadly Lane despite a very brief slight upturn in his form a couple of weeks ago he really has been poor and has to be time and worth Staveley having a shot next week.

Thought Taylor had a decent effort coming back in after a spell on the sidelines with his shoulder.

We certainly lack some size and could have benefited from adding a replacement or two but the club don’t seem to be deviating from their plan. Rovers look like us last season in terms of appearing as desperation/panic to bring in replacements immediately which so far doesn’t seem to be panning out so well.

Think a Leeds win is needed this afternoon to close the gap in Salford in 6th.

That's exactly what I was thinking Even when we lost 7 in a row Smith kept calm and said we will improve and show patience.

Peters' body language is awful. He's clearly struggling and it's effecting his decision making. Rovers are lacking leadership.

If you see him out tonight be careful what you say to him. We know what happens when he is rattled.

For me after today's performance, when all centres are fit, Carlos to miss out.
Scott is developing really well the more game time he gets.
Lane for me, again poor today.
Think the occasion rather than it being just another game got to the players.
At least Rovers can console themselves with the Clive Sullivan cup.

We just got over the top of a poor team today.

Can we be consistent in getting the result against likely better opposition over the next few games with that back row we had today?

We know Griffin misses the next 3. We don't know on Andre. We're down to scraps in the bsck row right now. The back row is the area of the field where your best players should be.

We had it good there under Radders with Sika, Mini and Ellis. That's why we put trophies in the cabinet.

I do think Griffin, Andre and Cator could be exiting. But beyond those three I see nothing at the moment. I''d like one more in there. Especially when like today two of those are missing.

Never understood why Rovers let a multi trophy winning coach leave and appoint a complete novice.

Griffin's a gonna

He'll be in the Mill offering out "advice"

Can’t believe I’m saying this as i love him but If it’s dropping a Centre it would be Carlos but I just think Scott has more experience in back row and would transition easier.

100% need to be telling Cliff to sign that new contract and he can become the new captain from next season. Carlos would happily agree for the team.

Time to bring in a backrower and give Stavely some game time. I wonder if that’s why he was brought back to play reserves. See him in our structures

On what basis?

He was looking good up to his ban. Probably our form player. Even in the first half of that cup game he was looking good.

Not that concerned with us playing badly as finding a way to win when you are playing poorly is the important bit. Our next 3 are massive games for me, 3 desperate teams scrambling to stay up will see us as a target.

He was trying to get a move to Wakey this year. Allegedly

Staveley played great for the reserves yesterday by all accounts. Would like to see him given some more first team experience now

Smith kind of indicated he'd play some more youngsters towards the end of the season.

As much as they are must win games, I'd like to see him get a decent run against Wakey and Cas

Bit harsh that on Swift. Booming high passes results in body of balance and receptive to being pushed into touch.
For me bring Hoy back in too soon especially as we had a fit replacement. The same can be said of Tumivave, returning from injury. It’s what reserves are for.

Has Danny Houghton ever had a poor game in a Derby? He was on it from the start today and come up with the match winning pass for the winning try.

Hull Football club legend that guy. Amongst the God's.

Certainly made up for it with his triple sidestep on Walker.
Been a great signing
Sad to see him depart.

Agree, he's been great for us. I'd happily take him having a change of heart and going around again for us. We got lucky that Saints had Makinson and Grace at the time. I bet Saints wish they still had him now that Grace has gone.

Didn't play well but worked really hard.

Hats off to Mcintosh, what a turnaround, same with Dywer. Swift also after a poor first half, had a really good 2nd half. Is there anything Clifford can't do.

Houghton definitely worth another year on a reduced contract.
