My god, what exactly were people expecting. Sadly, yet again, the comments regarding today's performance are an indictment of just how banal, predictable and boring this board has become.

Really glad he's still involved. Can only be good for the club as a whole having an individual like him on board.

Just don't get the negativity, whilst it wasn't a perfect performance the 17 out there got the job done. It was never going to be pretty with both sides missing so many and patched up. For us it was more of a patched up side due to the number of injuries in such a short space of time. The fact we lost 3 against Fev meant it was a very makeshift team. As for Yeaman it would have been easier for him to stay on the sideline but all credit for stepping up at such a late stage. Consider he's not been playing or training for so long he didn't do so bad.
Thought mini really stepped up to the challenge today along with Westerman & Connor plus the young lads didn't let the coach or team down and stood up well. Losing Griffin hurts us as we had to rejig again. Not think miloudi harmed his chances either.
Think this is the worst injury run we've had since McRae's days when we the season went pear shaped late on due to the amount of injuries back in 03 or 04 if memory serves me right.
All in all the job got done and all credit to the squad and don't think we could have asked for anymore to be honest.

Fantastic 2 points
Maybe a vital 2 as well
We had too much down the middle and when we did use the backs we were handy
Was that the worst Rovers team ever ??

Kirk can retire now gracefully - please, job done Kirk and he must have loved it

Connor is number 6 despite cries on here to play him at centre next week- are you insane ?

What’s Uber alarming is how Rovers made metres out wide all game
We never stopped it and Wire will make use of it all next week
I’ve mentioned before teams are making masses of metres on 3-4th tackle out wide
Rovers had it so easy and of course the tries out wide
So next week we must use umbrella defence to stop the too easy metres

He might get the call to play next week from what I've heard

That is why Miloudi and Harris should play in the halves so we are not exposed out wide as we were by a team that would have being beaten by Fev/Toronto and Tolouse, Connor can shore up out wide with whoever is on the wing.

Yes we won but frankly it highlights so many problems with the coach and his inability to address the same issues that crop up time and time and time again no matter who plays.
There was a chance to play last week someone who had played in the halves and doing extremely well by all accounts, there was another chance today but again ignored which meant ridiculously we played with 12 men and a has been who did nothing all match except give a stupid pen away, bomb a try (natch) and make a handful of tackles, oh I think he made 6-7 metres on one run when he had space.

It's the failure to recognise that sending out a has been (in fact re-signing a has been or two) and not trusting to a youngster is definitely the wrong call, aside from injuries at the back end of 2014 when the season was over and the "million pounds in the stand" Warrington game Easter '16 it's been the staple of Radford's tenure.

We kept banging it down the middle and failed to get it out wide, by sheer weight of the fact KR were utter crud and our forwards were right on it, we had some success but if we'd have spread it wide we'd have had more success. So fixated with banging it down the middle we couldn't capitalise when they were down to 12 and were outflanked by 12 men

Connor produced a quality pass and a great individual run, aside from that he didn't really produce the goods (a lucky bounce off the crossbar doesn't count). He punted it too far downfield so they had an unchallenged catch too often, and it was too often the only play we had ...again!

Full strength we have one of the best squads in SL, easily top 4, the problem at the moment is the coach, he's simply incapable of changing how we play to actually improve our attack, he has not being able to change what the players do which results in penalty after penalty and getting involved in niggle we don't need to stoop too, Matongo made a mountain out of a molehill at the end, I mean really, wtf was that, immature or what!
This game highlighted again why we will not move forward with Radford in charge, I thought he might have turned a corner but he really hasn't.

For all of the posters on here saying stop moaning, they clearly don't see the bigger picture as to what the underlying issues are and how we haven't addressed that in the slightest injuries or not.

I A fine victory for a side including two debutants, a returning warrior after nearly two years out, no first choice wingers, or half backs, victorious over a desperate rovers side scrambling for anything they could get. I’ll take the points thanks, without criticising our make shift side, we have a fine spirit in adversity, and perhaps some of our armchair supporters who post with such negativity, would benefit from actually attending matches to feel the passion from our team, and not be led to much by Sky tv, well played Hull a derby victory, our seventh on the bounce. Wonderful scenes at the end come on you ull

I can honestly say that I think Masoe turned in the worst performance by a forward I've ever seen in a derby. Managed 11 minutes before he got interchanged, and then never came back on until mid way through the second half. No impact in his runs at all, but when you look at the size of the guy he should be knocking players over like skittles.

Of course Hull played down the middle a lot. It wasn't too far off of the first choice pack and they were up against the weakest one in SL. At the same time a 2 -7 composed of debutants, a retiree and players out of position was unlikely to gel together well and not surprisingly it didn't.

Spot on tactics from Radford to get the win - how anyone can criticise him on that is insane.

Then again if you coached them with your sports psychologist in tow then no doubt Hull would have won by 50.

I remember the times when if Paul Cooke was injured you fearing taking a hammering due to having no creative outlet on the field, we have lost our 2 first choice halves and Connor is playing out of his sock's at the moment, were are still 4th in the league and we wont be far off the 4 when the super 8's start, was playing Yeaman a mistake, I have no idea. I do not get the reports and see the things Radford and his coaches see in training but I bet playing both centres in a derby game on their debuts played heavily on his mind when selecting Kirk, we got the points and that's what is required at the moment simple as.

If only someone would leave him speechless

Until Kelly gets back, Connor has to stay at halfback, for Warrington I'd go with

Shaul
Miloudi
Scott
Yeaman
Logan
Connor
Harris

For Saints the same but Faraimo in for Harris and Miloudi at halfback.

Can see a couple of hammerings in the next two games, hope I'm wrong.

Hopefully win 5/7 after the Saints game and keep us in touching distance
