Not sure some of those SL stats would stand up to much analysis. For example, they suggest Salford missed only [ione[/i more tackle than Warrington this week...yeah, that sounds about right

Hmmmm, possibly. I don't recall Kelly kicking a 40/20.

Owned by Rolfie? Hmm, not sure where you get that from but, whatever. So, bonus points are being handed out in SL now are they?

Last 10 mins or so. I think we turned the ball over 2nd or 3rd tackle.

Oh ok, could have happened near the end, we were walking towards the exit and taking advantage of the excellent toilet facilities during the last 5 mins. In fact, smacking the useless hand-dryer and wiping my wet hands on my jeans was possibly the day's highlight.

Doing my best John McEnroe impersonation - "You cannot be Serious." I have watched the game on our TV channel. If I was a regular reader of these rags, I would question if these so called RL reporters they used yesterday were actually at the game. Are you sure they weren't sneaking a crafty look at the taff v jock rugby yawnion international in one of your hospitality boxes.
Your tries were all gifted by a non existent defensive structure in our team, crap reads by our defence, school boy defending on the fringes, unforced errors, forced passes and a lack of composure. Lauatiti stepping Kelly for an assist on the last try exemplifies what my fellow posters are on about. Rileys outrageous sidestep for his try taking out 3 covering defenders on the touchline was also due to our lack of basic defensive structure. Our lack of defensive intensity also allowed Tim Smith far too much time to play and he had all day to pick his cut out passes and reverses.
It's not bitterness, fella, it's anger and frustration at 2 points gifted by Hull Kr to a hardworking, half decent team who on the day wanted it and deserved it more than we did.

Spot on.

Quick synopsis of the game, as seen on Hull KR TV. Thank God I didn't go.

We were OK for the first quarter, borderline crap for the next 2 quarters and wading in total cack for the last quarter.

Analysis of key details of our playing performance has been perfectly summarised by my fellow posters in previous posts.

On the evidence of what I have just watched, we had no passion, commitment, structure or awareness. Line speed and ptb was half hearted.

Coaching and conditioning is to blame. Unfamiliarity with each others strengths and weaknesses also partly at fault.

Regarding individuals, Cockayne was very good. Bailey, Boudebza, Green, Sio were good. Carlile, Horne, Mantellato, McCarthy, Salter were pants. The rest barely Ok. It's unfortunate Kelly made 3 errors that led to tries, otherwise he would have run Cockayne close as our best player.

Rob Crossland has promised an in depth review of the performance and has asked for strategies and solutions. Does he come on here? If so, he'll get some accurate pointers as to the priority fixes required.

You know all this and you didn't actually go, how patronising can you get, pathetic really.

Truth is Wakefield's second to last try would have graced any cup final - but no not to you - why? - Because you''re a snob who just can't accept that a team supposedly lower down the SL food chain even that yourselves is actually at this very moment plaining great skillfull RL. How mean spirited and how shameful - the RL family I wouldn't pee it.

As for loving genuine people (yep I notice that and it made me

) I say in the words of you know who "You cannot be Serious" you wouldn't know genuine if it got up and bit you.

Still you kid yourself you were by effort and desperation. We on the other hand will hopefully carry on watching Smith, Godinet and big Ali ripping teams apart with their blind passes, scoot and pass or sublime offloads you big wally

Take it you didn't actually go either, it's one thing spouting rubbish but it's a whole new level applauding it



I do enjoy this but

Some people don't half talk rubbish.if it was Wigan,Warrington or sts scoring some of them try's they would be great try's.but because its wakey who you expected to win and think you are better then them all the try's are down to bad defending and your mistakes nowt to do with wakey playing some good rugby

He's right though. Let's see how good you look when you come up against a team that can actually defend.

Ummmm Castleford?

18 points in 15 mins? What about Ummmm Castleford?

Haha so going by that they only conceded 6 points in 65 mins quite good defence that lol

But ummmm game lasts 80 mins

Exactly its you saying because cas let 3 try's in 15 mins makes them a team who carnt defend

Ok, we'll see how good you look when you play a team who can defend for the full game

So what you are saying is all are try's against cas and youse were bad defending none have been well played haha

Speaka de English?

You ant got a clue mate a bit like your team.and I thought kr we're the best team and fans in hull.

Bit rubbish this from Rovers fans.

How about we just take it on the chin.

Wakey were better than us, not hard is it?

We had about three or four seasons of this sort of shizzle where anyone we beat, it was only because the opposing team were having an off day.

Beat fair and square, I think the Wakey fans point that they have a team and we have a bunch of players is hugely salient.

OK So you vent your disagreement of a right to express an opinion by being personal and hurling insults. That unfortunately says more about you and the king size chip you have got on your shoulders about the perceived disrespect shown to your team by Rovers fans in this forum. So in the spirit of fair play, I have rewatched the game and the tries and then read my post again and I stand by every word. I have also read many of the other posts and they are a fair assessment of the game, our team and your team.

I don't think anyone is saying any different, Wakey are better than us (hopefully its just at this moment) We weren't having an off day, that is how we defend week in week out and has been for the last couple of years. Unless we improve massively then I fear the worst.

A lot are saying if and when Wakey meet a team that can defend, my bigger worry is when we meet one. Up to now we have scored tries against teams that can't, Leeds defence was gash, Wakey's wasn't that much better, most of the time we bombed possession. If we play a warrington then i do worry, currently we show no signs of being able to be in a close game, the classic game of attrition, those will be blow outs for us.

In short Wakey played well, deserved their win but we made them look look like south sidney.
