interesting 3 pens already for incorrect ptb. is this a new directive from the RFL, or just Silverwood ?

Fair play to Silverwood. Penalised us for not playing the ball with the foot, then on the next set Hull KR did the same...I was just about to slag him off and he gave us the penalty.

He does however needs to keep it going for the rest of the match.

withers try from great dobson kick
poor-ish positioning from murphy ?

conv over
crosby off field. hope hes OK, cos he started really well

Kids from the age of six are coached to play the ball with the foot.
Why then are we struggling to do this.

Because at SL level it's been ignored for a long time, helping quick PTB based play. Dudson's finally getting it though thankfully.

Amazing what the addition of Powell has done for our overall attacking structure this week (imo), big reason why we failed to pressure Leigh much last week having no HB.

ETA: bit soft that second try. He's not been amazing or anything today, but in terms of long term planning I still cannot fathom Huddersfield letting Eden go.

hullkr are being given a good game by this side

12-10 eden in from withers pass 32 mins

18-10 down now.

Regardless of the final score it's been a 100% improvement on the Leigh performance.

Good to see this young team has frustrated the Hull KR supporters (ie They haven't folded as expected so far).

HT

good start, but after an error prone middle by both teams, the KR forwards dominated with a very aggressive last 20.
good performance tho.

need taylor, preccy step up now. we lost a lot of oomph when crosby went off

The team started very well but once a few subs were made the performance dropped a little, which is understandable.

Rhodri Lloyd looks lost at centre at the moment though. Whether that's the position or down to the fact that he has rarely played on the right hand side I don't know.

Powell seems to have made a huge difference and Logan Tomkins has been our best player. I've never really rated him but he's been excellent so far.

Hopefully the second half will be competitive.

His first game I suppose. Still, personally I see him more as a Loose (I suppose time at centre won't exactly damage that), and his inside man today Gelling still strikes me as more of a centre, even though he's sacrificed some speed for mass over the off season.

Rest of the post spot on.

agree about logan. he's looked sharp today.
powell and hampshire have been decent as well. murphy has taken the high balls well, and run it out of defence well.
crosby and burke have made good yards in the pack.
agree that gelling and lloyd need to swap places tho.
