Hull where deserved winners and being honest the score was about right as the Long try for me was a disgrace. Get Colbon, Newton, Briscoe and Mason back on the pitch with Dobson some much needed match fitness and timing and We'll look a different team. Proud of the effort from the boys.

Rally round the Robins

How is Mason going to get back on the pitch then?

We get him a Tongan passport when the Tongan council reconvene in May.

great game for the neutral - thought Whiting was immense and MOM

disappointed with Fisher though,he seemed to give away cheap possesion plus silly penalties which didn't help the HKR cause IMO ?

Well done FC

Rovers yesterday issued a statement in which the club indicated they would not look to re-register Mason by seeking special dispensation when his Tongan passport does eventually arrive.

"In view of recent rumours circulating about Willie and a move to French rugby union, the club will not be pursuing dialogue with the RFL for a discretionary dispensation provided by the rules given these circumstances," said the Robins' official club statement

So if his move to union falls through we will be paying him 150k a year for two years without playing him

Well cant have any real complaints regarding the derby result, FC played their best rugby of the season so far and I doubt they will top that performance all season long.

As for us, well what can you say, hugely dissapointed with the performance! Players and coach need to take a long hard look at themselves for serving up a performance like that.

Your forwards never really got in the arm wrestle. Nothing to be ashamed of, when Ewan Dowes is in that sort of mood though, few packs can live with him.

how is it a contradiction? im not a fan of his half time team talks because what ever he says it doesnt work, and YES id like to be in there to hear exactly what he says.
im saying id like to hear what he says because when weve been bad first half we never come out in the second half any better. yes ive seen on sky what he looks like during half time, but that doesnt tell us whats going on does it.

nice spin!

Everyone knows if Rovers don't get piggy backed up the field they can't do it on their own which is what happened in the derby, I am dissapointed with our defence, Rovers took their limited chances and as a result were in the game far longer than they should have been.

Dont the truth hurt!

How's that mini Easter table looking now?

Better then it did on Friday.

Fair play to hull today Gud thing is were only two points behind u

Still.

As cilla black says there is a lorra lorra games yet to play we will improve now I feel week after week

Didn`t Cilla also sing "Surround yourself with sorrow."

Don't know I'm far to young to know her songs

I`m not.

Never mind ul get over it

We have now had a further round of games since the Derby so natural conclusion for this one.
