anyone hazard a guess on the penalty count?

One for, seven against 

If recent history is anything to go by we will be lucky to get one. I predict we will get one six agsain - likely on the first tackle of a set so little difference and probably 5 or 6 against us.

Right side defence is a big target without Keighran.

The last tackle kick when we had them on the rack from Smith was very poor and ultimately led to the second try. Smith not having a great year so far. 


Plus point, French looks interested tonight. 


Must do better in the second half if we are to come away with the win. 

Hanging in but not by much. 2nd best by a long way. If I were a KR fan I’d be disappointed to be only 6 up at HT. 

Props looked like they got asked to step it up at half time.


Big players stepped up tonight.


So good to bring Mago and Leeming on when they started to fatigue. 

Hull KR had the best of the arm wrestle and their pack got the upper hand but we always looked dangerous out wide, I’d like to think with Thompson and Havard playing we could even it out in the middle but they’d probably think they could create more in the backs with Lewis, great game and you’d think the likely grand final again but a long way to go.

How bloody good was that, then!


Big players stepped up, Wardle fantastic, French always dangerous, Walter’s was immense. Even bloody Mago didn’t give me a heart attack! 

And Field, and the distance he ran from deep to take that pass after Bevan's magic footwork!

Really enjoyed that game irrespective of the result. Got a little fortunate at times but clearly a massive step forward. 


Walters stepped up big time in place of Luke Thompson and justified the decision to start him. Thought O'Neill, Eckersley, Miski and French were great. 


Was very annoyed at the ref giving a penalty to KR purely because JWH ran in and made a scene. Very weak refereeing.

Going forward Eckersley is great but he’s not quite there defensively. 


I was comfortable with Keighran going next year and him stepping in but I think we need him to stay for another year. 


It’s not helped that Faz isn’t as mobile as he once was which is understandable at this stage of his career.
