Hull kr with new star studded line up in front of a full house and 14 points up in 2nd half yet we win by 10 and people still moaning,classic southstander

Maybe because they took the Radio Blunderside coverage.

Should have listened to Radio Yorkshire mate.

Thought McGuire had an excellent game, couple of good tries, an assist for Singleton and all round good attacking display. Briscoe went well and JJB ran hard and stuck his nose through the line a couple of times. Kylie looked to make the best yardage from the forwards although he obviously had limited game time, while JP will have to be managed a lot better regarding his game time or his displays will become less and less potent, he seemed to get pushed backwards on too many occasions today. Kalllum always looks classy given space to run but he won't have this much space in the majority of games. Wouldn't say anyone had a stinker, but we need to defend better as a team in future.

Yep. This place is a total f-cking joke. Moaning b-stards.

First game of the season and the main thing is we won. Pre-season means little particularly with the opposition we played. And after our poor run after the cup it was especially special to get the win

Well said.

An excellent 2 points today.Hull kr will do well this year,especially at home and to come away with a win after looking dead and buried after nearly an hour is a huge result.not saying there isnt a lot to work on but we should all be happy and it again highlights that this side still has it regards desire and quality to mix it despite the neysayers.

For the third time Printer, I said the right hand side (the unit) were excellent. I didn't say individually, although Watkins was excellent. Nor did I critisize the left players individually, again I mentioned them as a unit.

Just because radio summarisers don't mention units, doesn't mean it isn't relevant.

Watkins tears it up at Hull KR seemingly every season. Satisfying final result. After out first half mini collapse and then conceding the interception at the start of the second, I was pleased that the team stuck to their guns. Apart from the interception, keeping them scoreless in the 2nd half was good stuff.

And I like the new stand, but it needs some signs pointing fans towards the toilets.

How did Burrow get on today?
I was hoping Sutcliffe got into the 17 pushing Sinfield to hooker when Aiton left the field.
Still not convinced we look good with the likes of Sinfield, McGuire and Burrow on the field together but prepared to hear the views of those that were at the game.

Burrows for me had a good little cameo. proved hard to tackle when you started to get a role on in the 2nd half. I was glad when he went off.
Leuluai wasn't great but what an effort when he chased across to force Sio inside after he looked odds on to score on a free play.

I won't raise issue with Printer, but I see the stats are in now and back up exactly what I said from viewing the match. So I will leave at that, and hope he has the decency to perhaps maybe accept he might have been wrong to dispute my initial post purely on radio listening.

Just to clarify, the right hand side, Ward (top tackler with 39 and two misses, and ten carries at average of 11.4 per carry) Watkins (13 tackles and no misses, and 12 carries at average 8.92 per carry ) Briscoe (9 tackles and no misses, and 10 carries at average 10.80 per carry). The left hand side made 47 tackles between them and missed 10 between them.

After yesterday I must say I am worried about the defensive side of our game. Particularly in the first half as Hull KR looked like getting through us on every attack they had. They were targeting our left hand side yesterday and we looked like we didn't know how to deal with it. Plenty of work for the management team to do in training this week. We had to tighten up in the 2nd half of course and thankfully we did luckily KR ran out of steam for the last 20 minutes. I thought Albert Kelly for them had a good game very creative KR have got themselves a decent player there in my opinion.

However credit to the lads in the 2nd half for not giving the game up and the way we fought back to win the match. I honestly didn't see us winning at half time and I am sure I wasn't alone on that opinion. We were good on the ball at times scoring 40pts on the opening game is encouraging. I do feel though we have got to hold the ball more though in attack when we are under pressure from the opposition as we were trying some very risky offloads at times yesterday.

In the end a good win to say where we were at half time and how poor we looked at the back. Plenty of defensive training needed we have got to quickly sort that out. Onto the next one now Widnes on Friday. RHINOS!!!!!!!!

Maybe so, but I thought we were much more effective with Aiton on the field.

What did you think of Maguire?
