Ha! Yes, slightly overestimated your recruitment there!

Good hard game on a pitch that did,nt suit either team. Why dose,nt the season start at least a month later, i,m sure the weather and pitch conditions are better in late november than mid february. As ever, a pleasant visit to belle vue.

Stood at other end of ground and i could tell we knocked it out, he is clueless and the linesman must have been asleep.

We had everything going for us in the second half; Dobson off the field, Murrell a passenger on the wing, a man up for 10 minutes and enough possession to win 2 games, but we just couldn't convert the pressure in to points. It was very frustrating at times! Credit to HKR for their defence but I feel we could and should have come away with 2 points today.

frankies drop was the game changer i'm afraid but we are within touching distance of being very very good imo. More games will make a big difference so bring on bradford.

Was there some kind of fracas in the away end? Noticed a bit of a kerfuffle then a load of stewards arriving on the scene.

I think this is a very fair summary of a game we should have won! against the run of play maybe but Rovers were there for the taking.
I also feel that Wood should play from the start, he has attacking flair that was lacking prior to him coming on. Raleigh MOM for me!

Someone dropped a quid apparently

Would never have happened if I'd been there - when I drop a quid, it hits me on the back of the head on the way down.

As others have said, we competed well against a team with a much bigger set of forwards in conditions which didn't really suit our tactics of trying to throw the ball around to avoid getting bullied up the middle.

I think Collis looks a great centre and fox should score quite a few tries playing outside of him when conditions improve.

I think Tim Smith's vision caused them problems and created some opportunities for us that we couldn't finish off due to wrong decisions on our part and some great defence shown by KR.

The forwards all put in a good shift and Aiton looks set for a big season especially on firmer grounds where his ability to get out of dummy half quickly will catch alot teams out and give us a good attacking platform.

As has been said already we are effectively a new squad so whilst I am disappointed we lost, I am happy to accept the effort shown by the players and believe they are showing positive signs that as the season progresses and they get used to playing together we will continue to improve.

Finally, whilst we did not manage to convert some of the chances we had, IMO there was still a great deal more attacking idea shown in what were trying conditions, then we ever saw last season.

When Agar was in charge of Fc this happened alot loads of pressure on the opponents line but then they either looked clueless or kept taking the wrong option and didnt score. Then the opposition would have less chances but seemed to be more clinical.

Kr where there for the taking and the cats blew it.

Happened in front of me, and unfortunately started by a Wakey fan, who cracked someone when Hull KR scored their third try. KR fans were angry by it, lots of shouting and finger pointing, and the Wakey fan decided to have another go.

To be fair to the KR fans, it didn't spread beyond the small group involved, and I thought those immediately involved showed some restraint and tried to involve the stewards first.

Don't know what provoked the Wakey fan, but as it was as KR went over, I presume it was having the nerve to celebrate.

Pretty unsavoury.

I thought we were pretty evenly matched for most of the game, think our defence was key at the end of the day, our lad's worked very hard. Hick's just isn't up to the job in my opinion, made some very strange decisions today.

Think you have the makings of a good team there, I'm sure a few will underestimate you, best of luck for the rest of the season!

I thought last week we were much quicker round the ruck and with ball in hand than last year....today we looked like last years team slow and very predictable...which suggests that with the i pitch being like a hard pitch we are a dry weather hard pitch team so hopefully come the spring n summer we will look alot better.

Funny how people see things different ...last week i was singing Smiths praises from the rooftops this week i thought he was very very poor...same with Ali last week brilliant this week at times a liability.

Its a bitter pill to swallow with Dobson off the pitch down to 12 men how we didnt win this game.We waited in defence clueless in attack, put no pressure on Hall at all who took over as their pivot both with ball and when he was kicking. Our licking game and 5th tackle options were pathetic.

Positives Cockayne,Collis,Aiton Raleigh and Wood for me.

With more compusure in final 20 metres and once the halves do what they get paid for i think we will be there or there abouts come September.

Still gutted though

I heard a few fans on the way out saying we looked like a 'fair weather team'.

Not really a bad thing considering about 75% of the season will be played in fair weather.

The person who excited me the most was Collis. He looked a very good centre.

Agree hole heartedly ,I'm sure we would have gone on to win.Two mistakes,the Danny wash brook loose pass on the first tackle and the mix up with Tim smith and Peter fox on the goal line drop out,HKR scored off both.nothing between the 2 teams.HKR goal line defence was good.saw enough in Wakey today that they can improve and cause problems to most teams.well done ,chin up,move on.

Did anyone else think today with HKR playing in that kit it was like playing against us in the British Coal Tracey Lazenby era....could have done with him at 6 today !!!

I reckon he will cause some problems this year. On the other hand, Mellars looked poor. I don't think he's passed once this season, which is a shame as Cockayne looked capable of making ground every time he had the ball.

Strange cos your kit reminded me of one of ours! Tracey Lazenby, there's a blast from the past and another HKR link

Thought we look like a good team in the making. Couple of instances where communication was missing, but that will come with time. In 6 months I'd expect to win games like that. We have fantastic foundations on what to build on. I would urge RA to do 2 things, get wood on for more game time, he looks very sharp. If he had come on when they were down to 12 men I think he would gave cut them open. I'd also say we need to work on kicking. Both to kick more length on penalties instead of getting 10/15 meters and in game out of hand to put teams under pressure. Happy with the way things are going

I also saw this and it was near towards where i was stood. HKR scored there 3rd try and and an idiot was goading the wakey fans then someone else ran towards the Wakey fansand ended up getting a good slap for his efforts. Stood near a few HKR fans and said that the wakey fans had done nothing wrong. A few HKR fans got kicked out and no wakey fans did as far as i saw

In fairness to our centres,the ball got to them on the tackle impact,so there was no option to pass to the wing men.I on the other hand thought that Mellors run the ball in well ,but that's my view and opinion from the east stand.too many unforced errors today and got punished.but Trin will still hurt a lot of sides this season.

Criag Hall was awesome in the halves!
