There was a general consensus of "What???" around me when that was announced! I personally thought Cockayne was by far Rovers best player today. No one else really stood out

Cockayne without a doubt. hes not the biggest but has the biggest heart of the lot and its a shame the likes of Vella and Clinton cant run as hard as he was doing yesterday, put some big tackles in too, its a real shame the other players couldnt pick up on his energy and respond with some of there own.
Hall stood up well in defence,
Green started well but faded behind a well beaten pack
Welham was average IMO

Erm ok

One or two strange opinions on this thread. For starters Kris Welham is a very good player who is shining example of how hard work and dedication can pay off. Thought he went well yesterday in comparison to most others.
Also thought that Josh Hodgson worked his socks off and his errors were a result of fatigue. He has played more minutes in the last 2 games than he has ever played before at this level so he was bound to tire late on. He will be better for it though and more equipped to do the minutes if required later on in the season. If anybody is to blame for his mistakes it is Justin for not using his interchanges accordingly to allow for Murrell or Cockayne to have a spell at hooker.
Clint Newton probably wasnt man of the match but he was a real workhorse and despite being clearly injured was doing work that his props should have been doing. How many times did he hit the ball up from penalties? I think our front rowers need to have a long hard look at themselves this week.

Now theres a statement you don`t see very often.

Infact I would go one better and say that Hall was outstanding in his defence.
