Yeh just heard that myself I just read one of Pete smiths tweets at half time at the game, saying both were fit and just not selected.

Groin strain was the excuse previously as well.

What a load of crap that was. Poor quality for 60 mins then suddenly we get try's. Should never have been more than 10 points between us. Most flattering scoreline I have ever seen. Bentham shocking with some really poor decisions, but won't complain too much as Hull KR only got one pen, which was ridiculous.

Walters brought back down to earth today. Looked well out of his depth this match. To be honest, I can only say Sinfield and Burrow were the only ones to really shine, didn't see anything great elsewhere.

Welcome back Robbie Burrow.
It wasn't even a game of two halves, more like a game of one quarter.

So we only turn up for 20 mins and get 5 tries. Didn't sounds to too bad. Better than being poor for 3 quarters and losing

Bailey was injured McDermott has said post match, put his hand up to play but McDermott decided not to risk him. Singleton just wasn't selected. Sounds like everybody barring Clarkson (and obviously Yates) has a chance of making the Cas game.

Strange game tonight. We didn't have any points after 60 mins but thought we were much improved in attack compared to recent weeks in attacking as a team instead of in ones. Where we went wrong was trying to leave the pass too late too often and thus HKR hands got to knock the ball down (Bentham btw came up with some baffling calls tonight regarding who touched the ball) or wrap the attacker up straight away. Just one of those things that can happen when the form has been scratchy and you try force your way into form.

No doubt we'll have the "attack was rubbish" by some on here due to the fact we took so long to score but sometimes you have to look at the opposition and HKR deserve credit for an impressive defensive showing for 60 minutes. Had a feeling once the dam broke though that another couple of tries would follow.

Defence was also much much better barring that 5 minutes around when they got a try, which was a sloppy one to concede, think heads switched off thinking job was done after 3 quick scores.

What the game lacked was for a player to take the game by the scruff of the neck and make it his, Watkins looked close to doing so but his opposite numbers did well enough to not let him completely run riot. Eventually Burrow became the game breaker and would've been MOM even without any sentimentality about his comeback match. Briscoe I thought had an improved showing tonight and Sinfield and McGuire played well too.

Tonight showed how much we've missed Burrow, and keeping Aiton out there at the same time is a good option as you don't lose the ton of defence he gets though. Add Hardaker next week and that final 20 minutes allowing us to get a bit of confidence and a bit of a groove going then could well be the start of the upward curve we've been waiting for.

Nah the attack was rubbish.

What changed it was Burrow starting to run at the defence and taking the attacking line forward. That dragged players with it who would normally have just been stood there not offering support. And so we then had a half taking on the line with support runners. That seemed to spark us into action and for the final 15/20 mins or so I thought we looked very good.

I'd agree with Gotcha that Sinfield & Burrow were the best for us, I'd also say Sutcliffe did well out of position at full back.

I'd say the whole team did well in defence though, especially Briscoe who saved us a couple of times from KR short kicks.

This surely isn't right about Burrow? www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/rugby-league/28209268 Doesn't McGuire have over 200 SL tries...? Sure Senior and Wellens have close to 200 as well.

No the attack wasn't rubbish. Not saying it was great btw, as I pointed out too much was forced but in terms of where we were recently....attacking in ones, then it was improved. It was always going to be a case of grinding our way back into form in that department. Also people asked for Watkins to see more ball and he did clearly tonight.

Agree about Sutcliffe, actually felt more secure with him back there fielding kicks than when BJB does.

Just turned my head when the BJB/Lovegrove incident happened, what exactly occurred as it didn't show a reply but the results didn't look too clever afterwards.

No it'll be wrong, the Leeds Twitter feed has it as Burrow moved into 7th place tonight going ahead of Pat Richards. God knows where BBC came up with that. EDIT - actually 8th on the list. Ryan Hall has passed both Burrow and Richards this year.

Yes, that's the BBC getting it wrong. Burrow went to 7th in the SL tryscorer lists tonight, replacing Pat Richards. McGuire, Senior and Wellens are 1,2,3. Prize* if you name the others without googling. (*no prize)
