That was another very poor performance away from home.
Two poor teams but HKR did appear to want it more and had more experienced players who could handle the pressure a bit better. Two tries each and the difference in goal kicks.
We haven't the experienced players to take us through pressure games.
When Lockers isn't there we have Hampshire at 1, Williams 6, Smith 7, Bateman 13 and MicMac/Powell 9. Far too many too young and this IMO is one of the reasons we can't handle it away from home.
Once the Dom Crosby "try" was disallowed they appeared to become nervous. They never regained any composure for the rest of the game.
Shaun Wane, Deacs, Rads and IL have some serious talking to do.
This situation has gone on for over half a season, if it continues for the other half we won't make the top four. No trophies, then there will be trouble, big time!
Plenty time to sort it but a testing period ahead for our management and coaching staff.

Best team won on the night they had more composure than us,the whole situation about the team needs sorting out get bowen in powell out hampshire onto the bench and what the hell was tomkins thinking when he kicked instead of passing to charnley how expensive that turned out to be

His shakiness under kicks is always going to be obvious given he isn't a fullback. However, one thing he does have is pace, and that's presumably the reason he's there rather than Bowen. He looks dangerous out of the back of the second man plays off Williams, but doesn't have the strength or size to break the line just yet when he finds a half gap. However, in terms of his error count, he's made 10 in 10 games (before tonight), while Burgess has made 20 in 13, Manfredi 10 in 9 games and Gelling 22 in 12, so he isn't exactly the worst culprit. He'll improve as he gets used to playing fullback, he's definitely got the talent.

It certainly isn't. The most disappointing thing is, it looked like we had turned the corner after some good displays in our last few games. But this was right back to the early season ugliness.

Of course we'd have liked it at the DW, but Jeez, it's only down the road, we can't use that as an excuse: HKR hadn't won outside Hull all season!

Haha. Your out..
Some of the arrogant twaddle posted on this forum is embarrassing.
You have a fantastic coach and a wonderful young team. Be very hard to beat in two years.
Got beat today by a wonderful leader in Campese who schooled the massively over rated 'lockers´ in how to captain a team. Hampshire will have nightmares for weeks about his kicking.
Your youngsters panicked and Smith and ´lockers´ disappeared. The mighty Mickey Mouse again lost his head.
See you in the next round.......oh.

Then why did most of his kicks 'go dead'. I know Kingston Rovers love their overseas players, but he's not that good. He just happens to be yet another Australian that plays for you lot.

Not a very good night tonight

Well if that's what you think...

...How did Warrington play last week...

...but he did, and you did'nt... LOL

We lost by 60 2 weeks ago, 2 league points gone, if we had lost by 4, still 2 league points gone, you lose by 4 this week, cup gone....

...and if we don't give half the penalties away we did, we win the game...

Wow, some of the drivel written by Rovers fans here is almost as embarrassing as Hampshire's catching ability.

Appears Mr Wane is building quite a reputation for his pre match and post match comments. He's the go-to man at the moment. Could really be putting RL on the world map when one of these ill advised guffaws goes You Tube viral. Someone reel him in for the good of our game. Please.
