GAME ON : Hull Kingston Rovers v Hull FC - 19:45:00

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

FC by 11.

Hull KR named that head thier captain?!?!

Yeah bit surprised by that one. He’s an experienced player but then again they’ve got McGuire with that and who has captained a team to a GF win.

Hull FC, even without Albert Kelly, have too much class for Hull KR.

After Lunt gave up the captaincy Sheens asked the players to vote and Tomkins was the choice

Hull KR have come back under the coaching of the indomitable Timothy Sheens. But I still think Hull FC will prevail.

Garbutt as I suspected showing Leeds what a poor decision it was to sell him. Despite some Leeds fans trying to defend the decision by making him out to be Gareth Hock Mk II and an out of shape crock, he looks in great shape and good form....meanwhile Leeds fans are complaining that their main issue this year is going to be lack of grunt and power in the prop department. Sinfield may have made some good signings but that departure was a dumb move.

Did Tomkins threaten them whilst calling them the rectums of Hull?

Another classic blooper, not your week is it Barry.

The close up of the HKR fan giving the double V’s straight after the winning try was the highlight of the game

I was looking for Barry on the Cas v Cats thread ,but it's not there.

Garbutt with a match changing introduction from the bench, McGuire with the pass out to Keinhorst to score the winning try....a great win for Leeds....erm I mean KR

Not sure but did Drinwayer get MOM? If so that’s typical Sky manipulation because he wasn’t, even old Danny was better. What is it with Sky and over rated Aussies. I’d like to say it’s opinion but I suspect there is a short list before the game starts.
