Whilst you have to be respectful to the opposition we should have beaten KR. From listening on the radio our discipline was poor and we defended badly, it makes Friday more important now.

cant win every game,,you need a kick up the every now and then...cant wait for september when the season starts properly

You can see days like tis coming a mile off.

Hull KR under pressure, coming off the back of a humiliating result last week, plus Travis Burns debut. They were always going to be up for this.

Our injury list meant this was always going to a tough game.

fancied us for a loss KR are a decent team and our record there is below par to say the least

I can't blame injuries, we're told about our depth, other teams also suffer, it's 13 v 13 on the pitch.

Grand scheme of things though, we will finish top 8, we're too good not to, and for that very sad reason, i'll enjoy the rugby but not fret over any of these games that really, have no real significance.

no need to panic, we will clearly make the 8 and the season doesnt properly start for another 5/6 months, no problems losing a few pre season games.

this result will have no bearing on our aim of getting to the grand final, win or lose today we will be in the playoffs, and if we do win the grand final will we be talking about this result? no.

This talk about being in the top 8 baffles me. We should finish in the top 4 as a starter let alone 8.

Injuries?

The teamsheet I had was:

Hodgson
Riley
Evans
Atkins
Ratchford
Myler
Wood
Higham
Hill
Grix
Westwood
Cooper

Carvell
McCarthy
Currie
Laithwaite

thats 12 of the 17 that played in last year's Grand Final plus McCarthy who has won two Challenge Cups

I was expecting a backlash after they chucked it away against Salford if KR had lost today the coach would have been under serious pressure...Its no like us not to score a point in the 2nd half and for some reason we rarely perform on that ground...

It's only a friendly

It's a good job your players don't turn up with the same mentality as your some of your fans. You should appreciate what you have at Warrington and not take it for granted. I'm sure their are many that do appreciate it.

We lost, that's sport. We lost there last year on the way to two finals. We also lost at London and Salford. It's a long season.

Well done to HKR on what would have been a tough week after last weeks showing.

There are Moxi, and I must admit I'm pretty embarrassed by some of the posts above.

Well done on the win today.

You only played with 12 men?? No wonder u lost

Im sensing some bitterness about the playoff system!

Good to hear and thank you, the victory is a much needed one for us, was always gonna be a lot closer game then some were predicting. Going on recent events at rovers anyway.

Very poor today. Too many stupid penalties given away and we just didn't look clinical enough in their 20m. Saying that, Dobson kicked us to death and a few of their forwards, mainly Paea, had very good games.

Not from Leeds

No problems...the season only starts in September in the modern game.

Good away support from you guys today, took the 'we can see you sneaking out' banter very well haha.
I think your players maybe thought they just had to turn up today, but like a lot of you have said, you'll be there or thereabouts.

Agree with that gave up trying to listen. He didn't seem to know who the players were. Talked of players knocking on giving away penalties never once said who or where

That's exactly what I thought. When you listen to football there is a constant explanation of positional play, correct naming of players and score. When KR scored the commentator awarded them two points for it about four times before getting it right. Might email Wire FM to outline how poor the coverage is. The commentator spends too long mumbling about rubbish and before you know it there has been a handover of the ball and you don't know if your attacking or defending.

One word describes it...awful! Another wasted journey just like last year to kr, Riley and Atkins need to gain form and fast, Rhys Williams, well words cant describe how bad a rugby player he is....he never looks interested, he's lazy, he doesn't understand that you need to run forwards...all he did was run sideways then get pushed back several metres!...hodgson, worst game I've seen in play for us, nothing went well for him, threw loose passes with went here there and everywhere, looked extremely tired, personally would have rested him, he was knackered, yet again Simon Grix was solid, such a good player, stood out, looked more interested than everyone else was very impressed, Higham was impressive also, fell to pieces when we took him off, hill, currie, laithewaite Evans all impressed, ratch was okay, prefer him as a full back, Myler went missing in the 2nd half, we give away far to many penalties for stupid silly things, needs to stop, we should have took the 2 just after half time, that was th turning point in the game because we messed up afterwards then they get a penalty and take 2 and it all went terrible from their...defence was all over the place as well, needs to be worked on, we need either briers or Monaghan in the team, without them both we have no creativity unless Myler brings his game which he didn't today

Yup really good away support.

Shame some of you where in the South but at least that's the last time you'll have to go in that stand.
After this season you'll have that nice shiny stand to sit in.

Well said. I'm really getting fed up of all this bitter crap about 27 friendlies etc. The players would be insulted if they read this. Well done Rovers.
