Just because they think you're a nob, doesn't need to mean they dislike you.

That's a valid point actually and I have no option but to accept it! I shall have to tell them they can leave early at the morning meeting then change my mind at lunch time, so they all dislike me!

Sounds like a plan

I shall do it then. And blame you for giving me the idea. Shame on you sir!

Didnt someone say last season the league doesnt matter. Onwards and upwards to next Friday night at Widnes. Well played KR gameplan worked today. COYG'S

Don't blame KR one bit for playing close to the edge. We didn't manage the game well enough in the second half, which kept them in the game, and they took their chance in spectacular fashion.

At times in second half I felt that we were moving lateral too much, with flat shape. When we took them on around the ruck we made some inroads. There was a cameo of what leeming could prove to be shortly after he came on. Bursting out from DH and a couple of quick short passes which really moved us up the field.

Not a fan of Bentham, but we should have responded to how he was reffing the game. KR were pushing the envelope with line speed all game. We should have done this also. Our defensive line was waiting for them, rather than pushing up and constricting them.

Onward and upward. No loss. Plenty to improve on.

We missed Lunt today IMO. Lunt is clever. And he is consistent. And class.

Lunt is class but dont think we missed him today, though Wood went well as did Leeming in his brief spell. Know what your saying about matching KR tactics but how nany rimes did we get pinged for stuff they got away with? Headbutt on Ferres that started the handbags yet we still end up with one in bin? Wardle professional foul but one later from Hull KR unpunished? Bentham was leaning that much today he nearly fell over and we werent allowed to match the KR tactics. that all said 2nd half was a shocking performance and we were drawn into playing how KR wanted us to play rather than concentrating on our own game and we would have continued scoring and posted 50+.

Just let it go see if you can post without mentioning phil bentham your crying like your coach these things even themselves out I personally didn't think he had a bad game

He's gone now before he shakes a double six!

My biggest frustration is that everytime the club have a push on the attendance we cock it up on the pitch.

Last year it was against Bradford big push and we get turned over. It seems to be the same every year.

Still the players got a rocket from Anderson so better to have a complacent game early on.

if I was supporting the Robuns id of thought he had a cracking game too :0) didnt do much wrong for you guys and looked part of the gameplan lol. Well Done today and a good point and onto Cas and a tough game next up, think you will struggle to get owt from that one though as Cas playing well at the moment.

If that was fair reffing then im a Leeds fan !!!!....Bentham had no intention of been fair today, he was appalling, i have never seen a ref give so many dodgy decisions to one team in one game for many years. Fair play to Rovers for playing him and earning a point, we have only ourselves to blame for that in the end but Bentham gave them every opportunity to take something.

Their tactics were to come and spoil and the officials let them from minute one to minute 80.
The brawl was entirely Bentham's fault for letting their players act like dicks until it kicked off and then had the nerve to penalise our guys for retaliating.

I'm a bit drunk tonight and will post more reasonable stuff tomorrow but my initial thought is we were absolutely hammered by a referee who had decided way before the game started that we were getting nothing from him today !!!!.

It wasn't just the niggly stuff though. Plenty of clear wrong decisions- KRs try early on they knocked on in the build up - we (rather dumbly) stopped as it was clear-play on to score. We were pushing on 20m from line brough dropped the ball from his hands onto his foot and kicked it towards Wardle, Wardle kicked it through Bentham calls knock on, KR score on next set. Brough kicks through ferres touches down - from a clear onside position Bentham disallows the try awards a penalty to KR.
We WERE the reason we lost that game. But Bentham was poor and I posted as such at half time when we were clear in front- so not a reaction to the outcome!
Given that Bentham left the field quicker than I've EVER seen a ref do he clearly knew his performance was below par too.
