O'Neil has picked up a 2 game ban for contact with the ref in the reserves, don't know when it kicks in but it's looking like Powell/Shorrocks again

O'Neil on bench, ban kicks in next week

I know where winning but its not great is it

Feel for KR, their injury list is huge

Frustrating performance tonight despite the score. I feel like the players are playing like they expect to score lots of tries and as a result they are trying to force passes and plays that aren't on when a bit of patience would be better.

We got away with it tonight because Hull KR are shot with injuries, last week we blew a few chances early on and our heads went. Matty Peet looked like he read the riot act at half time so hopefully it is something he is aware of and will address in training before the business end of the year

Pretty flat night really. It just felt like a training run and that’s no good for anyone. It was job done, a few decent try’s and good for the points difference. A no win situation in a way but it’s 2 points closer to getting that second spot and a home semi.

2 points but all a bit meh, very forgettable, not sure if it's good preparation for next week, no doubt Wire will want to prove a point against us

INOUT
Good to see Peet gave this a go, hopefully gives them a run of games.

Nothing special tonight but job done.

Harry Smith and Morgan Smithies are having fantastic years.

Hooker may be an issue next week, Powell having a scan on his foot and this O’Neill ban.

Cust to 9, French 1, Field 6, Miski 2
Thought Cust looked a lot better this week, match fitness coming back

Mago a big plus point for me. They got good minutes in to him and he actually looked more comfortable and fitter as the spell went on I thought. He looked goosed after 5-10 minutes of his spell but got through it. Mike Cooper is going to really help us getting forward as well over this next couple of months.

As said, a kinda no-win situation: we were expected (expecting?) to win, and we did. But yeah, Mago and Cooper went OK, Bevan is on fire, Harry is playing well, and Msrshy was back to form. I always like to watch the game back before making definitive statements (especially with my lousy eye-sight, but that's another story). but I thought although Cust looked better, he didn't really seem a dominant figure.

A few slack passes from Field, I thought.
