Three out of four of our kicks are dire, I can't see many teams having a worse kicking game than that.

Is there a bigger Whinging Aussie than Terry Campese?????
.....Love me..... he almost plays the entire game waving his loving arms in the air.

that aside it was a shocker of a game.........no structure in offence or defence, no kicking game, no kick chase, lacking runners as options for O'brien, enthusiasm only in patches, no communication on the right flank, no one supporting Clark when he breaks up the middle. Ben Currie for 99% of the game looking like one of those players that actually doesn't like rugby league and turned up to the wrong trials....and then runs like he did for his try..

Message to Leeds fans: bring pop,crisps, and blankets....its going to be a loving picnic for you lot.........

I'm going to take a break from this site and just submit entries to the prediction comp.

Doom-mongering galore lately.

I don't think that wind helped a lot today with the field kicking department. In general though,there is no reason why our halfbacks can't develop their kicking game with practice.

all I can say is that without Ratchford we would be in a lot of trouble indeed.

but still not as big a whinge bag as Campese..... not once when I typed that did I look round At my missus with my hands in the air and shout "Orrr.....Come On......"

I've just got back and felt we travelled in decent numbers. We where certainly in good voice. Still you got the points for your performance on the pitch not the amount of fans through the turnstiles. Enjoyable game and on another day we'd have taken the spoils. Good luck for the rest of the campaign but not when you visit Craven Park

I thought it was a fair turnout from the KR fans.
You've got the makings of a decent side, having beat wigan and got within ten points of Leeds and Warrington.....all recent grand finalists..... You wont go down.

though I'm still desperately dissapointed with our performance I thought we were just to shabby in every department.

apparently that means I'm a doom monger.....

Apparently Bridge and Harrison weren't fit and Atkins was taken ill. Very strange looking backline, but if we can still win with 3 late changes, then I'm happy. Not playing particularly well and winning is far better than playing well and losing. Maybe some people on here should start watching Wigan, at least you'd have something to whinge about.

Thought Daryl Clark had his best game in a Wire shirt to date too.

Main thing is that we won. We're going to have to up our game big time v a Leeds to be in with any chance. Agree with many of the things said, especially the lack of kicking game- really poor today.

I wish we could try and create some space on the wing for Penny as he'll out pace pretty everyone and is such a huge threat. If it wasn't for a forward pass from Ratchford (I think) he would have been in after burning the winger on the outside.

I really feel sorry for Penny at the moment..... He's doing everything but score.
Put in some great performances in various positions but always seems to get ankle tapped when half way through a gap.... The forward pass today was unlucky as he had done the winger and I'd have backed him any day against the full back.

His time will come though.

We will need to play a lot better than that to beat Leeds. Granted the late withdrawls caused a lot of reshuffling, but there were several worrying aspects to our game. The kicking was poor, we looked clueless with the ball when attacking 10 metres out and our defence on the right simply leaked tries for most of the game. I couldn't figure out why we were constantly a man short on the right with Penny sprinting out of the line in a desperate attempt to stop the move - that must have happened 4-5 times.

To be fair to HKR, they showed a fair bit of flair in the halves and had a good kicking game. They also brought a reasonable number of fans. I did a rough count on the West terrace and reckon it must have been around 200, so to say they had less than the stewards is disrespectful. We didn't exactly pack the ground out with under 10k. What saved the game for us was their leaky defence and our willingness to move the ball.
