..going ballistic about the non-forward pass that stopped Hull taking the lead.



A neutral's opinion to FC's fans:


Still, was always going to be difficult in 4th place, at full strength and at home vs a team in 11th missing 9 through injury. Scoreline flattered us obviously.

Oh well, so we didn't put a massive score on you. We won, we got the two points, better luck next time

You must be disappointed though, Zod said you would put at least 50 past us. Good luck in the play-offs. Good job other title contenders like Wigan are faltering, title's yours for the taking



9,450 crowd is how many short of capacity?

Nope, not dissappointed in the slightest. I don't care about the winning margin. We got the two points, job done.

Mrs Barista.

We found a dummy whilst out walking today - is it yours?

as a cas fan i thought rovers failed to capitalise on the first 5 or 6 mins and allowed fc back in the game second half i thought fc were the better side and rovers were treated very well by the ref. poor performance from RS and as for the forward pass - give over george it never was.

RS spolit what could have been an even better game and i would have loved to of seen a final 12 mins with fc winning after scoring that try, as opposed to a desperate fc trying to get back in it again.

great game though and rovers must count themselves a little fortunate!

I've no horse in this race but you were lucky. There was no way that was a forward pass before the try that wasn't. It was a beauty of a try and should have been given.

I'm sure the Sky Pundits wanted a draw...

Relieved rather than disappointed. Fortunate on the 'forward' pass, I agree. Some sublime and shocking play from both teams. Once they recovered from the early blows, Hull were a real handful - if they do have a big clearout, there are some players there capable of doing a good elsewhere in SL.

Was a bit spoilt. Slightly gutting that we were in with a shout at one point in a game we should have been ted in and had a perfectly good try disallowed though.

at the game bang in line with it, and it was forward, silverwood was also up with play and gave the correct decision. Camera angles are decieving, the pass was forward FACT

It was miles forward

Yeah,course it was.

glad you agree mate

Just checked everywhere can't fint a sight where you got 4 points for it, so It wasn't perfectly good was it, or you would have got 4 points for it

Lost Briscoe after 8mins which prevented Fitzhenry continuing his recent good form at hooker and Fisher having to play 80mins - 40 of them with a pain-klling injection in his hand and 30 of them with a sprained ankle.

Had we had 17 players, we'd have put 40odd on you.

If the forward pass hadn't have been given, we'd have still come back to win - we're too good a side and respond when necessary against poor teams like you - that's why we're top-four.

At the end of the day, we are Top-Dogs in this town - and that's just the way it is...

Would have done had Briscoe not been injured so we could have spelled the hookers.

Comedy post of the year. Injuries only impact Rovers then.







Would you have still won today without the equivalent of our injury list, i.e. Briscoe, Fitzhenry, Webster, Welham, Vella, Wheeldon, Fozzard, Lovegrove, Murrell, then? God forbid, you might have had to give a homegrown player other than Welham a game.

There's a distinct difference between injuries during a season than injuries during the game as injuries during a game prevent you from executing your planned rotations.

Your players played above themselves because it is your cup final where as we are planning ahead for the play-offs. Your missing players are e and would have made very little difference.

Whatever teams would have been out there, we would have won because that's what Hull KR is all about - we will not lose to teams like yours and maybe it's time for you to digest the fact that we are the superior force in this city.

No personal insults please.

Playing with 16 players for the majority of the match certainly limited the interchanges and helped Hull stay in the match but at the end of the day history will show Rovers won another derby and pull away 7-3

If you are allowed to hypothesise then so am I. My view is that if you had been missing Briscoe, Fitzhenry, Webster, Welham, Vella, Fozzard, Wheeldon, Lovegrove and Fitzhenry, we may have won a game we lost by 6 points. As for Fisher playing a half with injections, Berrigan's been doing it for several months. Let's just say you did have our injury list. Who would have come in that you're so sure of? You need 4 props - isn't Watts out on loan and Aizue out of favour? Netherton, Mills plus 2 from the academy, then. Plus 2 centres (Haynes plus similar) a FB (cockayne) a utility back and a LF. Don't know who all the 9 would be, but to claim any 9 would have done is a tad naive. No need for insults BTW. Enjoy your victory with a bit of grace and dignity.

Several of the Rovers team are being nursed through training and games also.
Did you not see the strapping on Newton and Cooke's legs.
And Newton has carried a bad thumb injury for weeks.
At the end of the day 6 points or 60 its a W in the record books for Rovers.

I think using injuries and injections at this time of the season for excuses are pretty poor IMO.

Show me a team that doesnt have them!

I would love to have seen Lauaki, Washy and Tom Briscoe out there today. Not to be I dont blame the defeat on it.

Play with the cards you are dealt and crack on....
