A team upping there game in a derby, who would have thought it, let's see if they can play like that the next few games.

Let's remember Rovers won 2/3 derbies last year and were still nearly relegated.

It was a good game, Rovers lost but shouldn't be to downhearted by the performance. Hull will make top 4 I reckon, but KR should avoid relegation, but bottom 4 for them is more than likely with so many new players.

Diverting from facts to diatribe makes you look even more foolish. What is even funnier is the fact you put the word “princess” at the end of your sentence in a veiled attempt to increase your credibility by playing the mysogynstic card.

Clean breaks

FC made twice as many clean breaks as their rivals, shared out between Griffin, Connor (both three) and Savelio (two).

Minikin made two clean breaks for Rovers, with Crooks and Minchella each breaking FC's defensive line once.


proves your point Mr Marrow!

Most of those breaks came last 20 after Quinlan left injured and that rebound penalty kick. Genuinely felt KR had the better chances 1st half and early 2nd. Then the size and speed told particularly Griffin. Lack of quality at HB really hurt us. Brierley hardly had the ball and Ellis whist trying hard isn't the answer. It's an 80 min game and Hull stuck in there and eventually got the job done.A fully English pack only 3 Imports in 17 gives us bit of hope and pride but yes I'd rather have the 2 competion points.

The nationality of players means nothing, Smith has assembled a squad on a shoestring and is to be applauded for what they have achieved so far. A win against Wakefield and a gutsy effort against Hull, it is a long season ahead for both teams in Hull.

I agree mostly and was a fair post. It just seems convenient players nationality means nothing suddenly? When we had Lovegrove and Crusaders dispensation cast offs Hull fans very vocal about HK Aussies. In years passed when FC turned out lots of young English players they certainly made a point of shouting about doing so. Now you have 8 or 10 overseas it's irrelevant?

It has never been relevant to me, i can't speak for any other FC fans.

If KR had the money you would have more overseas players.

Money is irrelevant it's 7 Imports per team. Few loopholes and don't blame franchises who make the most of them. Take on board it's your own opinion not fc fans en masse.

Of course money is relevant. But anyway, this was about FC v KR, and the game has been and gone.

Hull have no more money than Rovers, only Pearson doing what Hudgell did in our early super league years, rolling the dice and gambling for success. Hence why he demands success and rightly so when he’s putting his own money where his mouth is.

Hull have a considerable aopunt more money available, two CC wins, more sponsors, bigger crowds.

But anyway, let us worry about FC (not that we are worried in any way just now) and you guys can focus on staying up.

Hull Fc make no money from the stadium they play in. They don’t even make the money from the car park? Pearson puts his money in for you to have the team you have and that’s a fact. You have a 1500 season ticket sponsorship agreement with the SMC which swells attendance figures.

It’s no shame to admit that your owner is the reason for the squad you have. Moran does it at wire as Lenegan does at Wigan, as Davey does etc.

I love it when KR fans make stuff up, I said AVAILABLE funds, not where they come from.

I hope you avoid the relegation dog fight.
