GAME ON : Hull Kingston Rovers v St.Helens - 15:00:00

GENERAL CHAT ABOUT THE GAME, BUILD UP, THE ACTION AS IT HAPPENS AND AFTERMATH BELOW.

Key players were still hung over from their midweek Ibiza trip but a win is a win.

Maybe Tim Sheens will shut up now

Slow start by Saints and perhaps lacking a bit of intensity to make Hull K R give us a game, they have scored 50 pts against us out of our defensive accrual of 200pts. However to score 42 pts in a slightly below performance is nothing to be too concerned about we will just take the 2 match points and move on to next week.

Couple of worldies from Grace and Makinson, who are easily the best winger duo in SL. Wigan fans would say the nrl reject Burgess would have scored them but alas he would have knocked on in the process given his embarrassing error rate

That said, watching the highlights Hull KR also scored some decent tries so bravo to them. I don’t think they will end up bottom 3 like most people say

I think they got the "benefit of the doubt" for there first 2 tries. The first try did he ground the ball it looks as though he was held up, the kick through for the Hull KR second try looked as though it was grounded on the dead ball line would the SKY video have ruled that out, none of those were "clear cut" in my opinion.

Makinson and Grace are having a good season so far, very difficult to contain in open space and they are finding plenty of that lately.

Why don't Sts fans post on the Sts forum within this website?
Genuine question by the way.

One of the tries was the clearest obstruction you'll ever see, makinson needs to have a word with himself, goading the crowd was disgraceful, no need.

A couple of clubs drifted away from RL fans and set up there own forums. The blokes that run RedVee do pretty good pre and post match reviews so the past 2 years everyone migrated over to that forum.

When did he goad the crowd?

Thank you for the reply.

He did it twice after scoring his tries he should take a leaf out of Walmsleys book who showed some class when he applauded the crowd and took some selfies with young rovers fans

Was that it? Any grown men or women offended by that need to get a grip and Makinson had plenty of pictures with fans at full time as did all the Saints players.

Not much in it really, his long range try was just patting the Saints badge on his jersey, his last try he put his tongue out more of being ecstatic of completing a hat trick.

If you think that was goading just wait when Connor comes to town and scores in front of the rovers fans you will all blow a gasket.

Too late Judder Man, they've already had that pleasure.

Don’t get me wrong I was only answering the Saints fan in the first place about what Makinson did it didn’t really bother me I really enjoyed the game especially as I was dreading it before hand done really good tries didn’t realise Makinson was that quick he left Hall for dead and he’s no slouch and I just knew when Grace got the ball in space he was going to score the game turned for me when you brought Walmsley and Roby back on Roby just speeds everything up a great turnout from you also the best of the season barring Hull

Looks like he got it down to me.

great call by the in goal ref

Yep, looks like a perfectly good try, when we see it at normal speed the ball ends up horizontal and on the dead ball line. Good camera work that to eradicate any doubt.
