Really pleasing performance in the conditions and great to get the win against the club at the top of the league on a good winning run. I thought we'd blown it when we fluffed that chance near the end and Wigan matched up field but the players found that extra energy to hang on. We asked for more commitment and effort and we've had that in spades in the last two games.

Clifford was excellent, Litten once more showed what a fine prospect he is, Houghton again rolled back the years and Trueman though obviously rusty came up with that important play in the last minute.

Hopefully Hoy is back next week. Personally I'd have him at full back and Litten on the wing.

Agree on the Litten point. It strengthens us on the wing. Hard to believe he's only a teenager.

Going into half-time I thought we were dead men walking so did terrific to hold on.
Thought Clifford was excellent and big raps for Sutcliffe as well.
Hoy is our full-back, back he comes.

Sutcliffe proving to be a very good signing.

What attendance figure did the club make up last night ?

Well worth rising at the crack of dawn to watch this match. My man of the match was Houghton with over 50 tackles including the try saver on French. His positioning to be where he was to affect the tackle was superb.

Loved the contribution by Lee Briers on the broadcast team - currently he is an assistant coach at the Brisbane Broncos who currently lead the NRL ladder and he confided that he coached Houghton when he played in an under 9's team. Said even at that age he was a player with loads of energy who never gave up.

Officially posted was over 10,200.

What is ‘officially posted” and how many were actually in attendance are two different entities at Hull.
About 6,500 there last night tops.

Magnificent defence.Well deserved.

Cheers Dessie

Is this quote a wind up.

Houghton benefitting not playing every minute of every game, he even got a five minute breather last night but we needed him. Tag benefitting from any injury free run looks like his old self, Sutcliffe great signing, Clifford best game for me apart from a few kicks, Cam Scott maturing by the week, Griffin has been very good in 2nd row this season IMO.
Big Chris and Ligi getting better by the week as is Carlos now he's getting fully fit. Litten very good again think he will go to the wing when Hoy back tough decision for Smith tbh. Trueman great play at the end to sacrifice himself. Cator and Fash outstanding workloads like always.

Good job the we have posters like this, and Mild Rover, that can come on here and confirm not all Rovers supporters are unfunny trolls.

Liam Sutcliffe is fast becoming my favourite player. Just for the lines he consistently runs.

Blokes full of wind. I've never know anybody so negative.
