When you consider Rovers are a top team , we would have seen a real hammering earlier and Grix has at least stopped those dire , morale sapping performances that really epitomised the last few seasons . to be still in the game, arguably the better team in patches, gives me great hope that a fitter squad, with new players and a good coach will see us improve further. When you take the above into account, we are a much better watch of late and I actually enjoyed the game, never really thinking we'd win but the fans around me were at least behind the lads and there is a renewed sense of pride in the shirt, which is the least we ask of the team. Fash is brainless and will now sit out a long ban, all of the shirt tugging is just fake bravado, nobody can throw punches so why he got involved and did what he did is even more pointless. He deserves whatever comes his way and has let the team down when we are short on numbers.

Agree with you that our warmups lack upmf and we seem to have done the same drills for years now

I thought Fashy brought the intensity we needed and it woke us up and fired us up, absolutely nothing wrong with it IMO. Minchella jumping about like child and Lewis getting his little niggles in too. Well done Brad.

Nothing wrong with it except it's against the rules and will likely see him sit out 5+ matches. He's acted like a dick and allowed whingechella to get to him. Other than that perfectly acceptable

80 minutes on Saturday from Aydin, over 100 meters from 17 carries and nearly 40 tackles. He's proving to be a very good acquisition for us, I was quite underwhelmed with his signing but he's been fantastic since coming in.

Thought there was more than 15.000 there TBH.

There maybe could have been if our neighbours could be trusted with the top of the west stand but they've shown that's not the case.

Agree he's been a shrewd acquisition. One of very few over the last number of years.

Lots of empty seats in West and South stands, even where we sit in the East stand there were a few empty seats. I guessed 14,000.

Despite the defeat there was one thing that amused me on Saturday. When the game was won towards the end of the game the front of the east stand were given Hiku some stick. He responded by proudly pointing to and holding what he thought was the Rovers badge as a show of pride. Would have been a stirring gesture but he doesn't know he's left from right. He was pointing to kit manufacturers logo.

No Ban. From the disciplinary notes:

In addition, and not appearing in the minutes because no charge has been issued, the MRP studied footage of an incident involving Brad Fash of Hull FC and Elliot Minchella of Hull KR in Saturday’s fixture. This incident had not been reported to the match officials. Without any substantiating evidence, the MRP determined that the available footage was insufficient to charge for any reckless/intentional contact.

Probably because he has such a small dick
