Does Leeming come in to it. Maybe Marshy

It’s one of the reasons why I’d get Powell back in the 17 asap, even if it’s just to play 15-20 mins off the bench. I also think Smith and Smithies need to step up, not just in the short term but going forward. He’s very young but I like Brad O’Neill’s demeanour on the field but it’ll be a while yet before you’d want to burden him with more responsibility.

I think Smith is really starting to show signs he is growing into a leadership role.

He’s bidding the team around the park single handedly but he is also giving out some sprays to his team mates. He’s also added a bit of niggle in defence slowing down and becoming a real pest on the deck.

I'm sure I saw O'Neill speaking to the ref in a game earlier this season while Farrell was off.

I'd guess that KR's Reserves will be much depleted as well if they are all playing for the first team....probably the Academy team?

I like the Idea of Marshall,good team player and vocal at times and does seem to encourage players.

Powell, Thornley, Hampshire, Eckersley all playing for the reserves tonight.

That team might be stronger than Hull KRs

Stick Havard into tonights team and it's arguably as strong as we can go, just nit picking over the bench, if their attitudes right we should do our points difference a world of good

Good for the points difference

It sems a lost opportunity not to give Eckersley some game time

Unless a decision has already been made on him.

Sloppy 15 mins in the middle of the second half when we tried to score off every play the ball but apart from that a solid professional performance, only downside it moved Wire up a spot on points difference

Due to the size KR picked It was more of a training run but to be fair it was a decent one.

It’s easy to lose concentration and try to score off every play resulting in a sloppy performance. For the most part we didn’t do that. I don’t think we picked up any injuries, both Farrell and Smithies had a good rest, Hill and Nsemba got decent minutes.

Decent training run, KR did better than I expected

Cust seems to have picked up something, Peet saying he will need to be assessed as they don't know what it is yet and he was wearing his arm in a sling during the team song. Somebody in the comments shoulder / collarbone injury.

Come to think of it Cust was holding his left shoulder when he came off.

He was holding it before KR kicked off and talking to the trainer. He wasn't happy and looked like he couldn't raise it above his head. Crazy they kept him on for that one play.

Came out of a tackle and was holding his arm, I thought he may have re injured his arm.

Feel sorry for Cust it seems he cant catch a break at the min,hope it isnt too bad.

Ellis has picked up another 1 match ban for his late hit on a passer, he really needs to sort his discipline out

I've just seen the incident and it's another joke ban to be fair to Ellis.

Point is players have been getting a match ban for that all season, they should know better by now

I think they’ve been worse than that usually tbh. There is an argument to say the HKR player still has the ball at the first point of contact. Play that at full speed and how can he not make the challenge? The alternative for Ellis is to leave him alone and then what happens if he straightens and goes through the line? He gets pelters and rightfully so.

Just to add some context, I had no issue with that red card in the semi, so this isn’t a moan that we’re being wronged all the time but I just can’t bag Ellis in this case because I think it’s harsh.

Disciplinary panel get it wrong again. If only a coach or two would come out and say something, I'm sure they'd get the backing of rival fans...

It's a conspiracy
