Fair dos to Rovers. They deserved it. Especially playing so long without Dobson. They stepped up a gear 2nd half with the man in the bin. I did feel the very muddy conditions would favour the more powerful team and so it proved. We can be proud of our effort but lacked penetration and organisation near the line. Found it strange that Andy Raleigh wasn't put on when we had those repeat sets. He was our best go-forward man whenever he was around. Ben Cockayne MOM for me. Still plenty of positives despite things not really running for us and I think we'll do better on drier surfaces. Finally, an excellent gate with a special mention to the KR fans who applauded Cockayne and Fox very sportingly before the game

What would you call it then, it certainly felt like a narrow win for HKR simply because it was a close match right to the end.

Picked our own pockets today, we had more than enough ball, took either the wrong option, made a mistake etc.
Credit KRs defence it was outstanding, and ours was caught napping following long periods of attack.
Fair result, great attendance and keep the faith, KR were 100 times better than widnes last week and for long periods were the better side.
One point for Agar, move Aiton to 13, play Ellis and Wood at hooker and spell Ali from the bench.
Oh and another Isaac John needs to start imposing himself a bit more, two games down and I am not hugely impressed, not scapegoat material though!!!

Rumour doing the rounds about Dobson and a broken collar bone, hope its not true.

TBF

A) He's young and will improve - It's a learning curve for him
B) He's done a lot more than what J. Smith did last season!

But I get your point.

Christ, hope he has a speedy recovery.

Exactly

They do Al, spoke to Sis after the game - he shouldn't be reffing SL matches he has no idea!

Totally agree with your other comments

Most agree I have seen nothing from him yet to suggest he is and better than Wood or Wildie at halfback early days his kicking was lousy today

Impressed with Johnson today big big effort from him Raleigh also had a decent game

Could and should have won this game it turned with the Mariano knock on for my money that would have being game set and match

Decent effort with lots to build on

Also obvious that we need a goal kicker if we dont address this it will cost us points in the league

We were our own worst enemy today because we threw away many opportunities to score points. In conditions like today it was never going to be a spectacle and I thought we more than matched KR but the lack of ideas in their 20/30m area was very frustrating.

I agree, made some completely bizzare decisions, the best for me was near the end when the ball was lose and clearly went forward off a Wakefield player into touch, it was against the laws of physics for it to have hit Welham (I think) and gone backwards off him. Despite being stood five metres away, he didn't see it. That's not acceptable, he has to be in the correct position.

We also got some weird calls in our favour, he looks out of his depth.
