Hull looked to strong for us, easy metres and easy off loads all game, I think our big weakness even when at full strength is our back row , whereas it's one of Hull's strong points.

Credit to Hull FC, They can only beat what was put in front of them. They muscled up in the pack and battered us down the middle, We'll hopefully start getting some bodies back over the next few weeks, particularly some of our big men. We've been playing well at home and hopefully that will continue on Friday.

Our home form has been excellent, but we will need to win all our remaining home games, plus 1 from the 3 away games (Salford/Hudds/Sts) to get in the 8 from here I think.

I don't see us winning all 5 home games either, the Wire one may be a loss as we have 1 eye on the cup the week after.

It's been so long since we played at home, I don't know if it will deliver the same advantage to us anymore for the upcoming games. The reason is that our injuries have forced us into a defensive mindset, where we look to absorb pressure and play on the counter. Fine if we absorb that pressure, but not so good if we don't from the outset like yesterday, make silly errors and we end up chasing the game.

Cas will present another Hull Fc like challenge next Friday so without a change of attitude, game plan and starting 17, look away now.

All the teams we are playing in June are hitting good form (except the Wire) and none of them are a given. So if you think the game against Wire may be a loss Stan, then I think we might all be blubbing after losses to Cas and Widnes as well.

I even challenge some of my fellow posters who were pleased when we drew Cats at home in the CC Qtr Final and thought at the time that we were a shoe in far a semi spot to maintain the same optimism. Cats are on a roll. Things are suddenly looking bleak.

However, as I am a glass half full fella, I predict high intensity and ruthlessly efficient performances from the boys and 4 out of 4 wins in June.

I don't think anyone (other than JTP on a trolling mission) thinks we are a semi shoe in. However, given the other prospects on offer, possibly only home ties against Leigh or Widnes could have presented us with a better opportunity. Form & fitness between now & June 25 will no doubt be the deciding factor.

June is without a shadow of a doubt the season defining moment for us, especially if the Salford game gets thrown in on 30th.

At least the chance of playing against Carney is very minimal now. But as a few have said on here. June is THE month that we have perform, no if's or but's.
Ive never known us be so injured, and all long term, all at the same time. Is this just really bad luck??
Listening to Chester's interview after the game. There's a chance Salter, Kelly and Lunt might be good to go. But how many times we heard that before.

Couldn't see how it started, but it seemed to conclude with KR fans fighting amongst themselves. Or at least it was amongst the KR fans. What actually happened?

[iIt seemed to?[/i

In a similar vein, your coach [iseemed to [/iaim homophobic abuse from the stands yesterday.

What did he actually say?

Cracking day and result (and TP didn't score), really thought it worked well in Newcastle, had some great banter and chats with Rovers fans after the game.

Thought Campese was a class act.

how to avoid answering a question? Ask a completely different one!

There was some great banter agreed. The Strawberry was amazing when we were in just prior to the 1st game. I thought the whole weekend showed the RL family in a good light to a bewildered city.

Campese was quiet behind a hammered pack. You just steamrollered us from the off and it's something I'm sick of seeing these last 2 months.

So the KR fans were actually fighting amongst themselves.

Were they? Or did they just seem to be? The Leeds fans were though, have you been on their forum to express your outrage?

I'm not trolling. les cats are the pick of that bunch IMO. Awful away from home (got lucky when hudds took their foot off the gas today). widens are also pretty dire away but can be dangerous. i just wouldn't want leigh as it's a potential massive banana skin if you're not on form.

if you know what actually happened then say so! Why are you dodging the question?

Why does it bother you so much?

Did YOU witness the incident, where YOU there?

These are the most pertinent questions of your line of enquiry so far.

Will YOU answer those questions?

Yes I was there (in the Gallowgate end) and saw the incident! What I am interested in is a view from someone who was closer to the incident who knew what actually happened. It doesn't bother me at all if you don't know or don't want to answer.

Why are you 'interested' if it 'doesn't bother you at all'?

Having witnessed the incident I was just interested in what caused it and what actually happened. It is interesting that nobody is willing to deny that KR fans were fighting amongst themselves! I was prepared to give you the opportunity to paint a different picture but clearly you can't.

So, you are bothered. What was the Leeds' fans account following your enquiries with them? You have made enquiries I presume?

Well you are clearly not interested in denying it. I will take that as confirmation of what I saw.

Everyone's happy then. You going now? (Don't bother telling us what the Leeds fans said).

So you are happy that your fans were fighting amongst themselves and I am happy that I have had my question answered. Bye!

Didn't see what happened with Leeds fans so can't comment.

You are a bellend.
