Quote ="Gordon Gekko"This thread is testiment to the complete over reaction to what was an ordinary win against a Leeds team missing 6 first choice forwards. Even on the night things could have been so different had Hall got the ball down properly (twice) and the McGuire 'try' had been given. Yes the result was great and a league double over Leeds can never be sniffed at, but when you scratch the surface its not that diffficult to pick holes in.
Headlines like [url=http://www.thisishullandeastriding.co.uk/hullkr/HULL-KR-Morgan-believes-Robins-beat/article-2400899-detail/article.html[uthis[/u[/url just make you look stupid especially when you get soundly beaten next time out.'"
'Can', not 'will'.
Leeds have been missing similar numbers of players for much of the season and are still good enough to sit 5th. It didn't strike me as a significantly weaker team [uon paper[/u than had beaten Saints and Wire recently.
Hall's first miss was a really big moment and I agree with you about that. Similarly Calderwood should have put Hull in a very commanding position last night, so I don't want to stick my head in the sand. Over the course the season these things tend to even up - very few on us were judging form solely on round 21.
