Agreed about Roberts, give smith a run out instead, shot out for halls try when he didn’t need to

Inconsistency is the word for this game start of the game we looked good but didn't turn our pressure into points. With the rules as they are Donaldson was probably lucky to only receive a yellow will probably get 2 or 3 games ban. Jack Smith decision making was very inconsistent for me pulling forward Passes for us but KR got away with clear as day ones, the decision to not give the offside from Bentley's offload when Litten picked it up from infront of the KR player who patted the ball down was a massive call in the game that the officials got wrong at 14-12. He then penalises our captain for dissent for challenging his wrong call next set HKR score a try that kills the game off, perfect example of why captain's challenge should be used in Super League. It's only round 2 I hope we don't go to panic stations on here, hopefully we start getting our big bodies back the likes of Oledzki & Holroyd soon. Outstanding try from Handley again great vision from Croft hopefully as the season goes on and pitches get firmer we see more magic moments like that from Croft and our other spine players.

Jesus man!

For everything good he does his discipline just cancels it out and more

In fairness to Lisone, he had to make that tackle or they scored. He just got it wrong enough (given the new interpretations) to pay for it. On the bright side we competed hard on an absolute glue patch and perhaps didn't get the luck we were always going to need to get the win. Impressed with Croft, Ackers, Smith and Bentley. Thought young Edgell did very well in the circumstances. Handley looks in tremendous nick this year, maybe a yard quicker than I've ever seen him. Ruan should have got more time. Won't be throwing my blue and amber rattle out of the pram as a result of this one. Desperately need Oledzki, Holroyd and Miller back next week.

I enjoyed that one, good tight game between two decent sides.

As others have said, Ruan should have been on earlier in those conditions. I can see why RS goes with Donno but don’t agree.

No real complaints; sloppy play and lack of discipline cost us. Bentley played okay but usual errors and penalties from him too.

Beauty of a try again from Handley wasn’t it?

The problem was when we were 6 nil up and had all the ball and territory we did not try enough to score

Totally agree he was all over the field tonight doing great tackles then holding on giving away penalties

We didn’t look like we could win the game. Lack of props meant that we lacked yardage and compressed the space (but we play very flat anyway).

We need more troops, especially big ones. We also need to learn how to win the ground and play off the back of it instead of having 25M gain sets and constantly defending out line.

Edgell stood up really well in the circumstances.

I thought our attack showed a few glimpses of improvement in the 1st half, especially considering the state of the pitch. Edgell did enough to show that he can be the understudy to Miller without having to shuffle the backline around.
What was disappointing was the lack of discipline and field position in the 2nd half, very similar to last season. We won a game last week that was suggested we would have lost last season. Tonight was very much like last season, we competed well but came away with nothing.

We knew 3 months ago we needed another prop but we decide to put 2 light weight 2nd rowers there instead

Starting the second half a man down was also a killer.

Some bad luck for sure but the lack of go forward/ errors / discipline is poor.

The Ruan thing I don't get at all when we needed size and a fresh body.

Quite enjoyed that. It’s February, the pitch was terrible and we’ve got a new spine.
Edgell looks like he’ll be a decent player. Lisone was great last week and terrible this week. Bentley had a better game, tackled everything and made some great supporting runs. Still scares me though and looks likely to give a penalty away every tackle.
Seen enough though to think we’ll be dangerous once the pitches dry out. Croft is the complete player

Nice farmer's field to play on though...
