Yeah, nothing in Lee's tackle. Strange then, that he is on a grade b charge.

Doesn't imply that my opinion was right/wrong of the actual event. But clarifies from my perspective, I saw nothing wrong with the tackle. It was impossible to judge whether of not it was a shoulder charge. The touch judge would've had a similar view. Hence it was missed by him at least too.

Obviously, the only person sure of what happened was Travis Burns then.

Easthull4 your comments on Caro are a bit harsh in my opinion , if he is never a SL winger please let us know how many tries he has scored did you hear the plaudits for the St. Helens try as an example.This guy was new to RL and still learning his trade by the way so no he is not the worst winger I have seen don a rovers shirt what he has got is size and pace something that Rovers are sadly lacking .

Players make mistakes in games but for some reason Caro seems the brunt of the complaints.

I may be wrong, but I felt both Hall and Caro messed up too many of the Salford kicks, leading to either out and out tries or repeat sets on our line. I think the shielding of these guys is poor, but still some catches have to stick.

I think the criticism of both for this game is warranted, however I have seen them both play well recently. It's that inconsistency between their best and worst that kills us at times.

As for Chester's team selection (assuming Gardner's injured) then that was his only option without throwing the youngsters in. We went into the season with a backline of Eden / Cockayne / Welham / Gleeson / Hodgson. This is a poor defensive backline for starters, but when you have to field your second choice in 3 of those positions it makes life very tough.
