And learn to pass

I agree and not many Rovers supporters think any differently.

All the ifs buts and maybes in the world can attempt to explain a potential different outcome but the fact remain, W in the result column for KR.

Hopefully next derby both teams will be at full strength.

Worrying for Rovers , you were not far off full strength.

We average almost 30 points a game across the last dozen or so.

Hull average how many ?

I’ll wait.

Scruton, Jewitt, Lunt and Quinlan.

6 on debut, 2 returning from season long injuries.

Nowhere near full strength.

? So the 6 on debut are not first teamers . Or the 2 returnees ?

Point is, Rovers aren’t close to full fluidity yet.

Did I mention the 2 who’ve only been in the country a few weeks?

Yeah I’m really worried we won had two starting props missing and two of our spine missing Radford keeps saying he had his half backs missing which isn’t true as Sneyd would have started even if Kelly and Connor were free to play

agree about lunt and quinlan but you are gonna be missing those guys a long time, as for jewitt Scruton boy I hope those 2 are starting props when we play next, I think garbett mulhearn mosoa are better props imo, all if and buts anyway, you got the 2 points and well done for playing to the end,

After seeing the results and watching the 3 games shown so far we are in no worse than the teams supposedly better. Leeds for me looked worse than us in terms of forward strength even & with the so called star signings, Huddersfield bummed by Salford and Wigan weren’t all that to be honest.
Yes we needed some additions in the forwards but Kelly Connor & Westerman will make a big difference to us.
Just hope Sneyd carries on taking the line on as the season progresses.

Big indicator will be on Thursday as to how far off we are.

and if i was you i stick to calling your coach and team give radford some of your knowledgable advice

Missed the essence of my point but yeah worrying for Rovers.

SL perennial strugglers fresh from relegation battle, played at best ‘average’ against an under strength team and still won.

Or.......

Plenty of improvement to come for a team that have made wholesale changes in the off season, with small number of squad players to come back from injury.

Or........

Team under siege following 11 straight defeats won’t be able to keep that level of steel in defence even with flair payers back in team.

Take your pick probably a hybrid of the three, let’s see when you have your seven superstars back. Well Connor is decent when he keeps his mouth shut.

Well if the first round results are anything to go by looks like London are a shoe in for the GF.

Seriously though as much as I thought Rovers would beat us I thought it would have been by a bigger margin. Whilst we were pretty predictable in the halves which was to be expected only having Sneyd (no disrespect to Washy who in fairness did a job). Ultimately we lost it in the dying seconds due to poor discipline in the first half which I did the hard work.
After reflecting on things there were positives and we moved the ball which whilst not with any real speed at least we moved the ball wide. Sneyd took the line on much whether out of necessity or not but be nice to think it’s something that’s been worked on. MDJ did ok and wasn’t the liability some had predicted.

Roll on Thursday for a much needed win.

Cant see you playing with the same intensity against Cas. Think that was a must win game you lost on Friday to eradicate the 11 game losing streak.
Can see Cas putting a 20 point margin on you irrelevant of others coming back in the squad.

Think you should be more concerned how your team only just scraped a win against a team that shot itself in the foot by ill discipline and not being smart enough to kill the game in the last minute.

Intensity isn’t an issue it’s the sloppy mistakes and ill discipline that are the common issue.
