Matt Cook - Very solid game especially in defence.
Lifted Radford clean off his feet on dumped him on his arris with one tackle.

Mike Ratu - Some good signs.
Has a turn of foot and defended well.
Will benefit from having the same winger if he gets the nod over Welham and Walker.

Josh Hodgson - Give some good impetus at the start of the second half and made some good carries.

Be good to see how they come on for the run out.

Matt Cook - He will be a solid addition. Went pretty well today especially in defence.

Mike Ratu - Like the look of Ratu. The one time he really got some space he backed himself and tried to make the corner, only to be stopped by a good cover tackle. After Welhams performance today, Ratu will be breathing down his neck come to the start of the season

Josh Hodgson - Decent display, looked pretty lively. Got caught in possesion on the final tackle, but that wasn't really his fault.

Thought Matt Cook looked fairly solid, some good defensive work

Ratu, got potential sure he will go well.

Hodgson, keen but needs some work at this level, but I am sure he will do well under Morgan.

Matt Cook - solid defensive effort, plenty of mins on the pitch.
Mike Ratu - very impressed with him, and I see him pushing for a starting berth (at the expense of Welham possibly) by the Salford game.
Josh Hodgson - quiet debut, one for the future I reckon
Joel Clinton - Lazy display (couldn't even be bothered to get on the plane!)

I it difficult watching the players today, there were that many interchanges for Rovers that I lost the plot at one point. Good to see them all have a run out though.

I agree that Ratu and Cooke looked comfortable, Hodgeson needs 'fine tuning'. Thought the lads who have stepped up from the Reserves went well.

Ratu looked fat! Matt Cook looked good but I liked him at the Bulls. Josh Hodgson won't be a good signing IMO, Morgan will be begging Fisher for forgiveness by round 5.

Go to your room, the grown ups want to talk.

Are you seriously telling me that Ratu didn't look overweight?

Looked positvely anorexic compared to Mr Moa (but then even Neil Baynes would stood next the that lump).

I look anorexic compared to pavarotti!!! That doesnt mean I am.

Comparing a wing/centre to a prop doesnt make sense does it.

Deary me!!!!!

See what you mean.... bit like comparing Richard Agar to a head coach then... and most of the 'loyal faithful' wished to see his head on a plate last season!

Saying Mike Ratu looks fat, when he clearly isn't makes even less sense. This thread was set up to give Rovers fans a chance to discuss our debutants. It took about 6 posts before an infant began de-railing it.
