It?s always a shame when you come away from a decent game feeling our idiotic governing body have once again impacted the result in a detrimental way. Jake Connor having to stand on the touch line and watch his team try to defend with just 11 men was a disgrace. Six points to Hull KR and six points to the RFL. Did it influence the final score?.of course it did. I really enjoyed the game apart from that, helped by the best atmosphere at Headingley since the North/South Stand redevelopments were completed. It will never be the old Headingley, but it crackled at times. Ultimately we just didn?t have that bit of gold dust that Hull KR had, that extra bit of dynamite that the Mikey Lewis?s bring. Well done to young Broadbent, when you see some of the dross we?ve had since he departed it makes you wonder how he wasn?t retained. I always liked his balance, his body shape and the way he managed to find the ground safely in gang tackles. No use crying over spilled milk, and good luck to the lad, he?s been a great addition to KR with his utility value. As for our young gun Jack Sinfield, got to say I agree with what Arthur Clues has said unfortunately.

KR deserved to win but the captain's challenge was interesting. The KR player that jostled with McDonnell was ahead of the ball carrier (Broadbent) after the ball had been passed across him. In that situation he is offside and therefore interfering with the defender. I didn't expect the try to be chalked off but the fact that the referee and the TMO didn't even look at or consider or discuss that that may be the case that just shows how bad /incompetent they are at doing their job.

Just posting so I can see the latest posts - this forums is broken.

It?s challenging isn?t it?

Keep Riley Lumb progressing, I think he's very good. Excellent potential. Initially I thought that Sivo would be great to watch but this route of young English lads is better, it's something Hull KR can and will do better on with a few in the pipeline. Bill Leyland was great when he came on Friday

He (Gildart) also had his right arm across the chest of McDonnell too (which is why McDonnell finished up pushing him), which is clearly obstruction to anyone with eyes and a rulebook.


I'm not bitter we lost, KR played well and forced us to, but simple basics shouldn't be missed when we have one official on the field and another with video footage and as long as he likes to review it. When the fans can see it, the officials should too.

I see Jesse Sue has had no further action following his sending off (meaning he shouldn't have been sent off in the first place). Jack Sinfield has received 3 penalty points, and Ash Handley 2 penalty points (reduced from 3 due to his red card).


Massive inconsistency, but at least both are available to play this weekend at Magic.

Sinfield Grade B 3 points
Handley Grade B 3 points less 1 for the Send off ( which given Handley was motionless is a joke)
Sue Send off sufficient.
So thankfully no bans just as well - with Hall out for ?
Does he put Edgel in or leave Watkins at centre... 
Oledski ? 

I hope BA has had a stern word with the club doctor. Him coming on to the field when Connor had dislocated his finger played a big part in us losing. Surely he should know only to enter the field when there is a bad injury.

So you wanted Connor just to play on til half time with his finger hanging out?

its pretty much unusable, which is a shame.
