Correct, it's loads better now you and me are top dogs on here. We always were the best ones though.





I feel if FC had retained the shattooist McGoldrick, we'd have got closer to Dobson in the first half. The referee was rubbish today. Looked like he'd spent the off-season eating sausage rolls, pulled back for a genuine drop-out having already played on a couple of tackles and endless penalties for incorrect PTBs. Rubbish.

I interpreted the underlying currents...

Well I'll just have to make the most of it until Scott Prince and co. run rings round us...

You deserved your win today easy the best team on the park, but we ain't worried nor do I think the rest of SL will be about either side, yet...

Hehe your on form tonight Zoddy baby, keep it coming

Well at least sky has them as winning!!! www1.skysports.com/rugby-league/ ... Castleford

Not much to do with Dobson at all.

Your toothless "big forwards" got owned by the likes of Walker and Griffin. Without Manu and Moa there was no threat at all.

Your backs looked averagely, average and slower than their Rovers counter parts.

Agree, but we're not the ones spouting loads of bravado in the press.

Gentle sounded genuinely rattled in his interview because there's very little chance that team is going to do much other than a 5 - 8 finish just like us.

Similar commentary to your post-match analysis of this fixture last season:




Last part didn't go so well, but it's a new dawn etc so better luck this time round. I think we all agree Rovers were by far the better side today. It's the extent to which that informs the next 27 rounds where interpretations vary from aggressively cocky to shoulder-shrugging. Mild Rover, who is a great moderator BTW, will be more towards the latter end of the scale.

We've not started the season yet, though, have we? Mike Smith stated on Radio Humberside before last season that Rovers would finish 4th in 2012. Morgan was in the HDM targeting the double at one point. Did you accuse them of "spouting bravado" too, or just cheeky and forgivable optimism?

As per 12 months ago, it looked today like 2 sides at different stages of their pre-season preparation. As per last year, we copped the lions share of injuries, and as per last year, too much will be read into it by folk desparate for Rovers to turn the corner.

Griffin was my MOTM, the kid has a great future. Has the Welham injury been confirmed? Sandercock's post-match drone indicated he was having x-rays.

Mr Pearson's season ticket sales pitch of "we intend smashing Rovers all over the pitch" was somewhat wide of the mark. Shame.

AP really should know better where derbies in any guise are concerned. Bad for Welham if true, just back isn't he?

Like Easty says, though, Gleeson fit to come in so good depth.

Welhams girlfriend tweeted hopefully not out for long and cory says his shoulder is sweet and mika just needs a good rub down

And following that i hope the morons with the fireworks get named and shamed and banned from both grounds in the city

Timely boosts after doom and gloom post match triage? That's a first. Well doing it before the season's even started, I mean.

It wasnt a firework if it was it would have gone BOOM

Don;t be too hard on Pearson, lets face it he knows nothing about Rugby League afterall.

Whats your problem? it was in the rovers end and the damage to human life would have been there. But it shows one thing, thats the best insult to rovers you can conjure up after todays game.
maybe your team could have done with a flare up their 'arris.

Isn't this spamming? Change the record, you're boring.

Not quite, it is against stadium laws

You might get a lock out soon

Maybe. I still think overall he's a better public face for a club than someone who knows everything about Rugby League, like, say, an ex-player though.

I hope you're not mocking injuries, because that is low , even for someone as desperate as you to impress your fellow Hull FC fans.

I agree. Can see him sat in the posh seats doing the Kear finger wiggling today.
Not sold 10,000 season tickets, paid out massive money on a side beaten by the poor team from across the river.
bet Gentle hopes he's not the Abramovich of the superleague. Probably got noble on speed dial.

Not a problem, still hear us outside.
