If Hull KR are a 'poor' attacking team, God only knows which adjectives could be used to describe their defence.
Josh Hodgson's technique seems to be based on letting the man run past him and then trying to grab hold of his shirt.

A few new fans to the game on here?
Not the greatest in free flowing Rl in first half, but two teams really committed and some top defence.
2nd half Hull stepped up a gear and played some great rugby.
Really enjoyed the game including the first half.

 The Yeaman try was probably one of the best i've seen this season, Peter Gentle has really brought this team onto a different level, Hull defense was immense today. |

He's very anti-Hull. Though you'd expect him to be an expert on poor attacks given he's a London fan (AFAIK).

It wasn't intense in the first half, it was just two teams unable to break the others defence, mainly down to poor attack than excellent defence.
The Wigan v Warrington or Leeds v Manly game was intense, as enjoyable as a close game like the Hull v Hull KR game was, it wasn't intense.

I thought it was a good match, great defending in the first half and Hull FC were too good in the second half. Good crowd, big hits, good tries, just can't win sometimes with people on the VT.

I'd agree with the OP - it was dull for the most part; Yeaman's try was the result of a nice period of play, but that was about it.

good old fashioned derby! full bloodied, two teams desperate not to concede in the first half, nerves, then the second half fc turned the screw! watching fubars dull rugby every week it must be rubbing off on your views of other matches! |
