bottling binning scruton imo cost us the game in the end

plus the pass for his try looked forward.

Bit like that pass for heaton's 2nd try

Just watched highlights on KRTV and looked ok to me. Can't comment on the head high (think that's what ref signalled) as I didn't see it and isn't online yet. Think robbed is a stretch based on those two.

Fax played well and could easily have gone on to win the game. Last 15 mins killed you off as you had no possession. Your completion rate must easily have been in 90's which is a great effort.

true

maybe was a little hasty. Certainly feel every 50/50 went against us

I can see that you'd think that, but I'd suggest that you can read most things either way.

We had Addy called back from a definite off load, that he went into contact to make and Moore said the tackle was completed, we were in there, we had a four on two over lap.

Similarly, Masoe off loaded to a player stood two metres behind him, it was called a knock on.

I think we did enough to win today, just enough.

'Fax were the better team, but unfortunately for you we're full time. You couldn't tell that for most of the game. That phase of play where we forced repeat sets, we knew you would crack, but for sure there is a hell of a lot of buying into each other in your team.

We got out of jail today, best team lost, we just had better players in key positions at key times.

Whether we we get promoted or not, I think for the good of clubs such as ours, we need to, just to ensure the door is not allowed to permanently shut.

Fax fans were great today, let's once again have that on record.

The coach and players said the same after the game in interviews and on social media. Usually you end up with a pretty even penalty count with 2 even teams but there was no way that was going to happen yesterday which as a fan is very frustrating to watch. Just one classic example was getting a penalty against us for not standing square only to see a couple minutes later Moore get tackled by a marker stood next to his team mate and the ref wave play on. It happens obviously but for a part time team its crucial they get somewhere near the rub of the green. I find it hard to believe that KR were so much more disciplined around the rook than us but the manner of penalties against both teams suggests they were.

On to Widnes which, with no disrespect to KR, is going to be a massive step up in quality and we will need a similar performance to even compete. We have shown we are more than capable of that though.

Totally gutting in end but a fantastic performance all round.Have to say the Barber/Heaton combo has been a revelation and they nearly came up with the winning play at the death.

The difference i believe was the strength of the Hull KR bench which found us out in the end. I do think we gave them a real scare but can see HKR now getting stronger as the new halfback settles in.

A great all round performance and with one or two injured players coming back into contention, we should get stronger - things are looking exciting for the next match - I can't wait.

(as an aside, can anyone tell me - did the mascot kick the ball away from Will Sharp to avoid a quick tap from the 22m line in the second half or were my eyes playing tricks on me?)

Halifax must have worked on targeting Minns and Carney and you could see that Carney did not trust Minns one bit and he ended up making them both look silly as Barber and Heaton took them apart time and time again.

He did. Not much you can do about stuff like that though.

I think the mascot will be called in for a "chat" in the unlikely event of the RFL picking up on it.

KR coach wants fax player cited for tackle on masoe.

A very committed performance. My own view on Widness is that they offer little more than Hull KR and in some respects less, particularly if some of their key players are not 100%. I think we have more chance of getting on the front foot against their pack so let's not underestimate ourselves.
On the penalties yesterday yes I think the ref needs to review the balance he applied. Thought we did lack impact off the bench . Young Douglas and Morris played very well, how about young Nelmes for a bench spot in preference to Mammone.

Ungracious tw*t he is.Claimed the tries we scored on their left were due to us injuring Minns in their first try lead up.

Having brought in Elliot's brother on loan,he has to be tried if fit.

Masoe did get turned in the tackle by Boyle. I can't believe it was malicious because if it was intentional then it would have been his shoulder injured - not his lower back. It was probably a sign that he got thrown into the game before he was up to full match fitness having stepped off a jet this week.

Was quite funny the cheer he got when he took the ball up got less and less every time. It was like Hull KR thought big Masoe was going to solve all their problems and then that sinking feeling starting to ease its way in.

Bet you could pay our squad for a week on the money they are paying him, bargain.

It was a shoulder injury - quoted in local rag as popping out and then back in again.

Yup with an injured shoulder......

In terms of solving our problems, unless he can play half back, no one in East Yorkshire is expecting Masoe to solve our problems but it was fun watching him.

Minns was on one leg after our first set which Fax exploited brilliantly. With regards to the alleged chicken wing. The evidence doesn't look good.

should have subbed him then...

Boyle got a good disciplinary record so expect about 12 games for that then........

That's what everyone was saying in the East stand but the coach let him hobble through to half time. As I say, all credit to Fax for exploiting it.
