Quote: wirecation "My take on the game was that there wasn't much in it between both sides. I thought we were the more composed. But Hull KR had the better go forward. They certainly blew 2/3 chances.
That was the only area of concern for me. We were rolled far too easily and Hull KR made it up the field making more metres than we did. I'm happy with Vaughan and Harrison but i still think we're a bit light when they're off the field. Musgrove was OK but Philbin, apart from maybe 1 run has never been the same player he was years ago.
I thought Heyes did ok. His in field kicking was hit and miss and it often landed in a Hull KR players hands rather than turning them around but maybe thats also to do with our go forward. All in all he did well and got involved far more than Drinkwater which is pleasing.
So overall a great win over a team which many tip for big things this year. I agree with others that we would have lost that last year. When i was watching last night, even though they went up in the second half i still felt we had it in us to win the game. I've not felt that for a long time.'"
id disagree, i'd say aside from his purple patch for gb honours hes exactly the same player he was. just undersized and not as good as we'd like him to be,
i mentioned this last week, interesting prop rotation last night, we currie, crowther and musgrove after the first set of interchanges. powell was held back last night and came on at hooker rather than 13 and philbin was kept back till the second half as well.
Burgess is giving us a fair bit to think about, especially after about 6 years of subs you can telegraph a mile off.
