i dont get why we dont off load, Hull were doing it at will, yet we maybe did it a handfull of times, if you dont ask questions of a defence then you dont make them work hard to answer them. Hulls players were no bigger than ours yet they chanced there arm off loading.
also im not a fan of JM's half time talks, id love to hear what he says during half time, we needed to come out 2nd half and really have a go at them, but we just let them take control, and never got back into the game.
our concentration is shocking too, we make so many daft errors its unbelievable.

where was Watts today?

I think he needs to be a bit more in there face if he was under pressure like Agar then he might see more passion from him.

think your game relies on a quick PTB, which when we let you gained you yards, so your players are constantly trying to surrender and find the floor to keep the play rolling.

Hull have done this a lot more this season and IMO sometimes we're guilty of trying to be too fancy, which is bizarre considering where we've come from. By contrast it's now Rovers, who previously had the expansive game, who are relying on a more direct and, with lack of firepower upfront, ineffective approach. I know what you mean about half time - thought Rovers looked a bit uninspired when they came out tbh. All that said, it was a game between 2 bottom half clubs, we had fewer players out and home advantage, so pretty representative of where the 2 teams are at right now. We'll get spanked on Monday.

Thought our kicking game was the big difference today, Longy was finding the ground every time, Dobson's seemed to be attracted to Phelps and Whiting like a magnet.

Also, it looked like Dobson was limping all game.

Good game of rugby with a good atmosphere too.

Your not a fan of his half time team talks and then say you would love to hear what he says

All this nonsense going on, at the end of the day Hull played the better rugby. I do think Rovers are getting better each game and when all settles down at the club we will get results.

When do u think that will be anytime soon

Can`t bring myself to troll t.b.h.Lets face it ,we havn`t had much to crow about.
Probably being biased but I thought we deserved our win today.Manu`s offload was something else.Kudos to Rovers defence though,kept us short of the line three times,when a try looked nailed on.
Atmosphere,brilliant.

Just need to hang on in all teams go through a bad period, ours is now but it will turn

best post of the day well said....
HKR are a top 6 side just struggling to blow the carbon off the pistons at present...
FC were the better side today BUT the score could have been much much worse if not for some world class line defence from HKR
both teams take a bow , a cracking match and the whole city won today , great show for TV that was

Thought young Sam Latus did well today. Hull were clearly targeting him, kicking to him and putting him up against Whiting who is a great catcher of the ball, but he caught and returned well.

cheers you fc fans,best team on the day won.

Yeah Sam is becoming a firm favourite with the fans to be fair there haven't been to many for us to shout about at the minute.

I thought we deserved it over the 80 minutes and those 2 late scores probably put a realistic scoreline on the game. having said that, your goal line defence in that 20min period was nothing short of herioc in that heat. The effort that must of taken made it near on impossible for you to go the length of the field twice to score.

The best chance you had was when Fox made that break. You got the quick PTB and for some reason Cockayne came back inside. After that, there was only ever going to be one winner.

Dobson was clearly nowhere near fit.

Great astmosphere provided by you lot as normal......Roll on Craven Park, cant wait.

Dobbo wasn't fit and I don't think we shud have brought him back in for such a big game like this, he was blowing a bit there was only ever gonna be one winner when foxy got no were.

Cracking game, Hull deserved the win, but fair play to KR, some outstanding defence by your team! well played both teams

It's nice when u get the nice Fc fans on here congrats to Fc fully deserved the victory, u could tell longey was up for it the minute he walked onto the pitch.

yes i would love to hear what he says. to see how inspiring he is or to see if he just goes through the motions.

what is your point?

If it wasn't for the points deductions to Wakey and Crusaders, we would only be off bottom by a small points difference.

Exactly it's not good enough is it

No, it isn't. It only goes to show how right many of us were over the last season or two dreading an injury to Dobson. I think we need a player for 2012 who can do what Brough and Obst do, cover as good at half back and hooker, it would certainly ease any future Dobbo injury worries.

Well done FC it was your day, as for Rovers we will get better (the season ends in late September). FC off loading did for us, next time they try it it may not work yesterday they stuck other times they may not. What finished us off was 50+ more tackles in defence. All the bleating moaning & despondancy is a waste of time you either support Rovers or you dont, Those of us who do will be there on Monday & every other chance we get those who dont wont be there & therfore dont matter. I support League & Rovers in particular, results either way are just what happens I live with it.

Hull shouldve had 60 pts, a good side wouldve done, we got most of the refs calls, Green was your best half back, Dobson kicking was poor, 3 very good tries imo by KR. One of the Hull squad tells me Morgan to Wigan? Anyone heard?

I said the same, I thought he did well. I thought we should have stopped targetting him, and switched to Cockayne who is suspect under the high ball.

Overall, we were much the better side and scoreline was about the right margin IMO, maybe if anything is should have been more. That said, I see so many flaws in our own game, it's not worth crowing too much about.

Also great was that I saw no bother at all, hope everyone had a safe day out.
