Sounds like it was a commendable effort and the scoreline was better than I expected. Important that we maintain that level for teams that we have a realistic chance of beating though. Rochdale had a terrific result today so they will be full of confidence on Sunday, hope the rumour of further experience coming before next week materialises.

Really good effort by the bulls players and fans, I thought when that kick off didn't reach the 10 and we got a penalty on half way i thought you would fold and we would run in 3 or 4 more try's but you dug in and scored a couple of break away try's, Jordan Lilly was good for you, that big no10 ran strong him and Mitch Clarke had a decent battle,
Out of interest all the ex bulls players on display why did danny addy get boo'd from you lot?

We have a few numpties in the fanbase.

Addy always seemed to get an unfair amount of stick. He was frustratingly inconsistent for us but we didn't help him or ourselves by constantly switching him between positions. Still can't believe that Hull KR have one of the best support FB's stuck out on the wing, what a waste.

Will take that result.

Great effort all round. Just really needs some more forwards. Quite a few soft tries to concede but heads never really went down. I think we'll win more games than I was expecting if the effort is like that.

Hull KR were decent. Did what they had to do. Probably top the league but will have much tougher tasks than Bradford at home this season.

I think you can see why quinlan is fullback though. We use the FB position as an extra pivot, which I'm not sure if moss can do or not? A supporting fullback is great, depends on your style of play though and it wouldn't suit us.

Thought he looked decent on the wing mind, very fast.

I would largely agree with this assessment. You have the nucleus of a good championship team, I thought the fullback was particularly impressive.

Regarding Rovers performance, for quite a few players it was their first serious game for us. From the spine only Lunt played last season, 1 new centre and winger, Minns has switched sides and Shaw only played a few games before his serious injury last season, new loose man and 2 new props so plenty of scope for development and improvement in our team. Hopefully we will rise to the tougher tasks ahead, starting away to London next week

Good turn out today & I thought you were very respectful during the Colin Hutton ceremony. Thank you.

Your boys did okay as well. Very good kicking game & plenty of energy. Plenty of promise there.

Don't think Moss will be on the wing for long, he's just come into the group late & we're short on wingers.

Great effort considering the ridiculous "preparation" you've had.
Brilliant traveling support, that'll probably be the best away support of the season. Thanks for coming.

Cheers for all the kind comments from hkr fans, i suspect it's not often a 30 point win/loss is greated as job well done for both sets of fans! We realistically never expected anything other than a loss, but the manner of the performance was all important and it looks generally positive.

Average age of the Bulls 17 today? 22 including leon, 20.something without him. And with no preseason I'm proud of the players tonight, really need to back that effort ip next week for the first home game.

Good effort today. I thought Hull KR looked very good. Dummy runners aplenty! As Bullseye said, a moral victory!

Huge game next week. Last few weeks the team have rightly been patted on the back for spirit and effort. But this week its all about performance and getting a result.

Thought Hallas had a good game from the Leeds lot. Bentley looks like he'll be a cracking little player

No 'probably' about it, mate. You might get a few from Halifax and Fev, but the rest will be car loads if our experience the last couple of years are a guide

Does anyone know the attendance today? Looking forward to next week's game. It will be a toughy but I'm hoping we can register our first win.

Really chuffed that all seem generally content with today and that it seems there are positives to be taken and to be built upon. Also pleased by the realism of the Bradford fans and the encouragement from those of KR. Hope the cavalry arrive in numbers in the near future and that they buy into the pride that it would seem was sported today. Bravo to all.

Rochdale would seem to have hit the ground running but will still be a less daunting fixture than today's. All the best.
