couldnt have put it better

We never spotted that. Really, we didn't.

There's only one little team in Hull, and we've beaten them already this season!



Congrats Robins, you were the better team on the day.

Thankyou.

Thanks Billy but I'm pretty sure you've just been removed from SmokeyTA's Christmas card list for that remark.

Not that much in it for me. Impact wasn't high or particularly dangerous, Ben wasn't in the air, it was just a standing player getting smashed by a committed forward. The only issue was, did Cross hit Ben before he touched the ball? Seeing the replays, it's certainly not clear cut - and certainly close enough to receive the benefit of any doubt.

I know Ben's not a natural taking the high ball, but if he had caught/attempted the ball in a Briscoe style of take it in mid air and use your body as a shield, then Cross couldn't have even attempted a hit/tackle like he did.

After watching the game at CP I thought Cockayne was MOTM, but having watched the Sky replay I thought Green was excellent, a few things never came off for him, but he tried a variation of things and some of his play was top notch, can't wait until Dobbo gets back and they get the partnership back on track. Galea was very good as well and Vella showed his leadership as well.

No-one had a poor game and it was nice to see Colbon get a bit of confidence back, despite his sill kick over attempt far too aearly.

Completely agree, probably a foul I think, the tackle was maybe just a fraction too early, that's all - nothing malicious IMO.

I thought both Green and Galea were excellent. One if not both played a major part in all of the tries except for Vellas... I think. Cockayne was very good, always gives 100% and a very dangerous attacking player, if only he was as good under the high ball and we'd have one of the best fullbacks in the league.

We still Dobson back ASAP though, we were seriously lacking a scrum-half yesterday. Is there no-one in the reserves he might do a job? Murrell isn't the answer.

Good win,deserved it,
although lost count how many times you lot shouted "Forwaard!"

... and Terry obliged!

Still, we were actually out shouted by Stevo and Eddie on that front!

So it was you in the east stand are u James Webster Mmm he was well at home in the east stand yesterday

No Ginge,I watched the game from the safety of my tele.

Now are you sure about that

your mind games dont get any better do they Mrs B??? your no Fergie or Arsene thats for sure.

Cross has gone in to nail him, and was a fraction too early, hothing malicious in it for me, just poor timing.

Where did the team come from and I hope Morgan plays them all on Friday they showed passion and commitment from the the off even with two try's against them. A mention to cook who shows he can take the place of fox for a while and show what he can do going forward.

That's like saying there's only one little team in Leeds and it ain't Hunslet.

I take it you haven't watched the 'highlights' of your game?

I reckon that hudgell had one of his chats most of you may remember think it was last season of season before when we was in a slump and up popped a very unhappy hudge, eddi and stevo said they had been talking to a very unhappy Neil and he wanted rovers to turn their luck around quite imminently, and so they did.

Thought it should be the other way around.

Eh?

May be we should let all teams score first against us, all the games we have played well in we have gone behind and then switched on after 12 - 15 mins. The games we have gone in front we have then completely crumbled, Cats, Cas, Hudds, & Saints we scored first and lost. Hull & Leeds we went behind and won and even the wire game we went behind then turned it on after 15 mins and played really well. There seems to be a mind set issue there somewhere.

As for the game I thought they all player well and gave JM a headache about team selection next week. Was great to see Taylor and Latus play well, Latus seemed to grow as the game went on. Colbon looked shakey at first but his confidence grew as the game went on and I think Matt Cook looked like the player who finished last season. Hopefully he'll get his chance for a game or two.

I've never been Ben C's biggest fan but when he plays like that he is a great asset to our team, kept his head well and tried his heart out. At last a Monday morning with a feel good factor....

While watching Saturdays game for about the forth time, as you do when it's a win. I can't help but notice that despite all the comments about two of our tries coming from dubious, possible forward passes, nobody has seemed to mention the final passes for both Hall and McShanes tries were equally "debatable". Having said that' if it was achoice between Alibert, letting things flow, possibly at the expense of missing a few offences, or a James Child look at me whistleathon, I know which I'd prefer.
