Far be it from me to keep a thread on topic, but we had a wow of a first half. I know Quins are a poor side but our pack with O'Meley, Fitz and Tickle was transformed from last week, and Berro and Washy had their best 40 minutes together I can remember. Sam was fantastic today, dragging defenders in, punching holes and a couple of great offloads. As tends to happen, we abandoned the attractive rugby of the first half in the second, but always had too much and they were piggybacked up the pitch by the ref. Lauaki's penalty, which led to a try, was very harsh - he couldn't get his arm out, thought he was going to get penalised, and in trying to get his arm free the ball got dislodged and they got a penalty. Couldn't win. Some entertaining stuff in the first half and last 10 minutes though and pretty happy tonight.

So it is possible to play without our half backs on the island then?

Against a poor team and with the "halves" playing behind a full strength pack, it's possible.

What I was pleased about was that all the team seemed to have lifted their game.
The first half we blew them away.slacked off in the opening bit of the second half when things just didn't quite go right. Thought Fitz was obstructed quite blatently in the build up to their 2nd try. The full strength Pack can obviously lay a game winning platform for temporary half back pairing so what would it be like with our proper half back pairing available? I hope to see it sometime! An enjoyable day out, just could have done with a few less renditions of "That song" considering it being a bit close to home for our opposition.

How many were there from Hull?

Very difficult to judge as the stadium is so empty.
But I would guess about half the crowd + or - 20% were from Hull. 95% of the noise was from us though!

to be fair i think its the rule now that "They shouldn't have there hand there" as seen in the Wigan v Leeds match

Too right. You can only ever come down in favour of the attacking team in those situations

One of the guys on the stag do was wearing a Rovers shirt, most of the renditions were aimed directly at him.

Was the stag do the same lads who were on a stag do last season in France? The stag was dressed as a hkr cheerleader.
