Wood 18th man

Be interesting to know whether this was the plan all along and King, Fitz and Philbin aren’t quite fit yet, or whether Burgess is rewarding recent performances.

Playing with 16 and no Drinkwater is bordering on arrogant though

Happy Days. Nice when the young guns have performed so well that you don't feel you don't need to risk playing an established player who hasn't played for weeks.

Nothing to see here move along

No Drinkwater?

KR impressive so far. We need to turn this around quickly.

This is a bit rough to watch, not sure what the game plan is but we're not getting it going

I think we've rode out the pressure and have been pretty patient when coming back at them. If we can start as we ended the half then we'll come good. That's the plus for me, we've been patient. Just wish our last tackle plays weren't a crock of sh*t

Totally flat opening 20 mins
Williams off the boil, and Drinkwater might as well be in the stands.
A better last 20 minutes, but were still in this
.

If we score next, I think we'll kick on
Concede, and I can't see us turning it around

We've opened them up on the edges quite easily when we've had some momentum. They're pressuring us a lot on last tackle and we barely have time to get the kick away, even when we have time we're crap at it so we need to find a way to send them the wrong way so to speak.

That’s the response we needed.

Weak. No way Lewis should have found his way over the line there.

We've been gassed all night, too much one man and no thought at all. Williams having a stinker and I will happily pay for Drinkwater to eff off. The last two weeks we've played diminished saints and Wigan sides and not had enough left to beat HKR in their cup final. Totally out enthused. Felt like a frustrating play off game where we were never in it. Nowt's won in August though, would rather learn from this and wallop them when it actually matters.

We've just not had it in us tonight. Hard to be too critical, we have fought to stay in it, but the last two games have been monumental victories and its hard to expect a third. Hull KR have been worth their win, clamped down on us and did the job well. Attack has been off in general too.
