We are a poor side that actually managed a decent effort yesterday but that doesn't change a great deal. A decent side would have comfortably won that game last night. Rovers are a very ordinary side punching way above it's weight and that must be down to Morgan's coaching. For me they're nothing more than a mid-table side pretending to be "top two" contenders and yet we have somehow managed to lose to them yet again.


However it was a fantastic effort by Berrigan, Houghton, Burnett. Lee and both the Horne brothers to be in Sharkeys before 10 o'clock !! They didn't seem too bothered about yet another derby defeat !!

Gotta be in it to win it sweetheart

Sorry but I don't buy that as much as I wish it were the case, of the 13 that started for them yesterday at least 6 or 7 would walk straight into our side

He will be, as a pundit

I think some of our players played above themselves yesterday. Part of that is to do with the extra enthusiasm that some of the new players have brought in. ATEOTD some of our players are not good enough and cannot play at that level consistently. The return of injured players will help but really it's next year when we can hopefully introduce players whose performance level is consistently good with the ability to peak at the right time. I hope we continue to try and play the offload game for the rest of the season as this in some way makes up for our lack of structured organising halves.

Jog on fool...your comment that the better team won on the day says it all about you!

You struggled to beat a poor Hull side at home.....granted you've won the 2 derbies this year, good on ya...we'll wait and see what happens from here on in.

Breath of fresh air that performance. A desire to offload and spread the ball about, solid defence etc We looked like a decent team. I'd rate the players:
1. Tansey - 8/10 Early error but gave us loads of attacking options
2. Calderwood - 8/10 for pure enthusiasm
3. Whiting - 5/10 worst game ive seen him have for a long time
4. Hall - 10/10 Best game ive ever seen him have
5. Raynor- 8/10 looked back to his best
6. Horne R - 7/10 looked better
7. Berro - 6/10 not a scrum half
8. Cordoba - 7/10
9. Houghton - 7/10 shouldnt be starting
10. King - 7/10
11. Manu - 8/10 some class touches in the 2nd half
12. Tickle - 7/10
13. Radford - 7/10

14. Lee - 7/10
15. Moa - 10/10 awsome go forward
16. Burnett - 7/10
17. Horne G -6/10

Another one who believes that the players you have annonced as signing (I wont say have signed yet, we all know it dosent always happen) will make such a big difference that you will become world beaters overnight, it aint going to happen, the players you have signed are not that capable.Still if your putting all your eggs into one basket then who am i to judge?
I think you know deep down that you are a poor side, next year may well drive you to suicide.

shrek and fitzy are top class and well sean long is the missing link although I must admit a world class coach at the helm may still be needed as agar doesnt have a clue im just praying that long can coach the team as well as run it on the pitch

The game was won by Rovers kicking game yesterday. We don't have one. Sean Long, if stays fit will bring that and out pack will be far more aggressive next year. I am up beat about next year.
I still think its funny tho cos we are very poor and we nearly sneaked a win yesterday. We were by far the better team and Josh easy had Fozzard in the fight! And Houghton easy had Fisher in the same fight.

And at that point your level of intelligence shined through, well done.

Yeah true, but I am right

"Turned the corner" normally wins if you havent won many during season suddenly win 3 or 4 on the bounce not playing well for 70 minutes.

If we win next week ( which i cant see as Huddersfield are the form side ) and against Catalans i agree we will have turned the corner but we havent yet, although yesterdays second half performance was promising

Quite.

Huddersfield are a far better team than Rovers so if we can give them as good a game on Friday I will be pleased.

Correct, Friday will be a sterner test for us.

Just shows how low we have sunk HOPING to give Huddersfield a game.2years ago we'd have been discussing how many points we'd beat them by

Lets not give Huddersfield any credit though eh?

I do give Huddersefield credit for bringing in a decent coach and getting rid of Sharp.The only problem is our dumb board decided on taking him on.

They have made great strides. They appointed an excellent coach and made some very astute sigings, not to mention bringing in some promising youngsters.

Huddersfield have gone past not just us but most of the league too.

Nah not at all.

We are still a trillion miles away from were we need to be.

really do you do finish with 5 wins, then everything will be rosie and agar may be offered another season. (PRAY)

He's already signed for next season.

Still got alot to improve without doubt but that performance was a step in the right direction. We asked for pride in a derby and a bit of tactical nous and got both I thought. A dreadful start, that pass and a few 50/50s went against us. We should have won the game playing some attractive attacking rugby.

However if the Giants come to the KC and put a big score on us and we slip back into our 5 drives and poor kick then I agree.

Spot on.

With the rub of the green and playing like we did on Saturday we can beat the Giants, especially if we have further bodies back.
