How very sad, you probably have your sock ironed and ready to slip on

Hull scored a good try in this game, sharp and Manu, brilliant try!

Should be a very interesting game, having watched KR v Salford highlights I took heart that our defence was not too bad for a friendly after watching Salfords defence, now that was poor.

Salfords defence was phenominal, we were just breathtaking in attack. Can see you're not geting this biased thing.

I'm not reading too much into these Friendlies, Feb 13th will be a different game, would be disappointed if we lost but reckon it'll be close.

didn't know she played RL ?

is she any good ?

Salford defended pretty much like every Shaun McRae side, very poorly. Their edge defence was aweful and players were pulled out of position with ease. Frankly i don't see them as any kind of threat to the top 8 on that showing despite their promising recruitment.

It was only a friendly but with Bomber at the helm i don't see their defensive structure getting any better, they'll score plenty of tries but they'll concede a hell of a lot too.

Not sure what all the fuss was about Salford apart from Patten I wasn't that impressed with any of their signings, they should improve on last season but like you said can't see them making the 8 or coming close.

I would guess that in a way Morgan would be a bit dispointted that Salford didn't test Rovers more.

TBF Rovers dominated field position, posession, had a 19-8 penalty count in their favour and Salford were gash. Oh and be thankful that you didn't sign Ratchford

Im with you on this one.

Are you related to Mrs Barista by any chance?

Nice of you to show interest.

I'd have preferred more of a challenge for Rovers in our last friendly, FC's against Cas will have been alot more beneficial to them. Salford where absolutely shocking and tbh I was a tad disappointed they scored at all, I think we look good and Green has slotted in nicely, injuries aside him and Dobbo could prove a deadly partnership but FC in Cardiff will be a completely different kettle of fish.

We had a good run out against giants i would say thats as good as any to play.

I think that's a key point actually. There were some promising things against Cas but overall we were a little sloppy. However it was a pretty intense game and not far off the pace of a full Superleague game. I havn't seen anything of the Salford game tbh but it seems like they gave you it on a plate due to their indiscipline. I suppose we will find out a week on Sunday how much of an effect it has.

If, as you've claimed on other threads, you hate Hull FC so much, why did you bother to watch their match?


Also, there are much fuller highlights (9 mins as opposed to 5) on Hullfc.com



With the derbies, it's hard to predict. As we've seen in the past, form and the stats on paper can go out of the window due to the passion and atmosphere of the event. At the moment, my head's saying one thing and my heart another.


On the subject of highlights, I saw the Rovers/Salford ones on HDM site and you scored a couple of decent tries on there.

Newton apart will our other 9 Aussies really be too bothered about the passion of a derby



Derbies are a funny thing but honestly I think it's only in Hull these games go off the form book. The fact it is both teams first SL game of the season will make it a bit rusty and possibly even a difficult game to watch but at the KC and CP the noise makes it hard for the players to communicate, the players feel the tension around the ground and this is probably why derby games are never what they should be.

I wonder if Micky 'V' keeps his hair growing for this game Agar will use it as motivation!!!!!

Decent video of the Salford game on Hull KR TV now... www.hullkr.tv/ I know the Hull Daily mail had some highlights, but this video is better quality.

Indeed!

If that's how the new matchday videos are going to be like then niiice.

Thats exactly what we said Easty....brilliant camera angles and far clearer or so it seems, really enjoyed watching it!

Looks like they have 3 or 4 different angles. So much more professional..

It really is, very good.

We/someone has invested in some new cameras and camera people.

For the non Sky games, this will become a must see.

Glad to see they've got rid of the music over the tries as well.

Hudge on Humberside now, talking Rovers and picking his fav tunes..

Is he saying any thing of interest like when bloody Mason is coming never mind his music how does he find the time to relax
