GAME ON : Hull Kingston Rovers v Castleford Tigers - 19:45:00

GENERAL CHAT ABOUT THE GAME, BUILD UP, THE ACTION AS IT HAPPENS AND AFTERMATH BELOW.

Probably a Cas win, Rovers are doing it tough at the moment.
As a Bulls fan I'm hoping some of our former players can get in the side and have a good run out. Ethan Ryan is just as good at finishing tries as the likes of Tom Johnstone.

Cant see past a Cas win but, that's a bold statement to make about the young kid.
Only Maknison is anywhere close to Johnston in the finishing stakes at the moment but, good luck to him, he must be some prospect !

Ryan won't play I think as both the current wingers are (a) not injured and (b) playing pretty well. Keyes made his debut last week and I expect him to keep his place due to both 1st choice halves being injured. Minchella will likely start off the bench, but the stand out of the lot is Matty Storton, he's been outstanding in a poor side. Its hard to believe he's only 20 and he will no doubt achieve a lot in the game in the next 10 years.

Quite fancy a home win for rovers myself, it's very unpredictable at the moment.

I fancy Rovers for this one. Nothing to lose and quite exciting half backs in Keyes and Brierley. Hopefully an exciting game

Cas by 50.

Give over. Kr won't be easy beats at home

Cas will run away with it in the last 15.

Was that Weird Al Yankovic sat next to Tony Smith?

so is a blatant shoulder charge a sin bin offence or not?

Pretty sure it is but he's probably feeling sorry for them now.

A dour game but a potential banana skin dodged. Thought HKR gave a really good account of themselves, all things considered & can hold their heads up.

No mention of Millington blatant dive? Not at least checking the obstruction try afterwards? Thought Rovers played with plenty of effort and was surprised we ahead at HT. Game as good as gone after that yellow and losing Hadley and Garbutt. Cas didn't need any help tonight but got plenty

Thought we were solid enough. Made 60% more metres with 20 or so less carries. Would have liked 1 or 2 more scores but kr didn't throw the towel in. People might harp on about Cas getting faverouble decisions but because our pack and ruck were so dominant at the stage the opposition lose their discipline. A harsh yellow but millo definitely didn't "dive" to get a player or a decision, he was going for the ball, likewise brierley.

Mcshane truey and millo v decent games.
