Be interesting to see how walmsley does in this game

[MZH]

That was indeed a pull back and a penalty, but Batchelor certainly made sure the referee saw it!

[Futtocks]

Dominant start from the Purple People Eaters, and a try under the sticks.

[Wollo Wollo Wayoo]

Good God! Every bloody bounce!

[Padge]

Fortune favours the brave.

bit of luck always helps as well.

[MZH]

A stroke of luck for Rovers, but it was a good kick. I don't think he was aiming for the crossbar necessarily, but it was right on the goal line where it wanted to be.

[EagleEyePie]

Those were some painfully slow reactions from the Wakefield defence there. 

[Lucy_1873]

6' a kick bounces off the bar as Davies scores his 100tg try, making it 0-4 to KR but I can't really criticise Trin as I think we defended well so far. Martin makes it 0-6

[MZH]

A couple of the Wakefield forwards really need to put their hand up to do some hard yards on these exit sets. They are trying to play a bit too wide and can't make any headway at all.

[Luke HKR]

 great tackle jowitt but Burgess should score

[Lucy_1873]

Burgess almost scores another try but Jowitt defends well

[Andrewj]

I can definitely see KR winning a major this year. They are a very good team !!

[Just Browny]

Touch judge needs to see Burgess in touch there.

[Luke HKR]

Rovers really need someone to do in play kicks, Lewis just isn't great at them.

Don't know about that, it would have taken some scoring tbf. Burgess is a big guy though, probably should have kept off the touch line and tried to ride the challenge a bit more.

[Lucy_1873]

Good footwork by Pratt

[MZH]

Really poor kick from Lino. Johnstone scores if that's on the money.

Yeah, I was probably unfair on Burgess.

Blowing a gale, like, you're a tough taskmaster.

[MZH]

Just needed to hack that on instead of catching it. Good little spell from Wakefield though.

[Lucy_1873]

Good seeing the space behind we e ever so slightly grown in the first quarter

Well maybe I'm being harsh, chances are going to be at a premium though, got to be clinical when they come along.

[MZH]

That was 100% a knock on.

[Luke HKR]

Brilliant play by Jowitt, but Rovers defence afterwards was good

[Lucy_1873]

Good defence by KR
