Enjoyed belting it out too. Shame we never went over with 10 to go and it could have seen the airlie stampede.

What's wrong at Hull?

I don't pay much attention to them as my inert laziness barely allows me to pay attention to my own team.

They've got some decent players that look seriously disinterested, Paea looks half the player he was three years ago.

It's got to be more than Radford, although listening to his interview on the way home was enlightening. He started off by referring to himself in the third person (an absolute crime unless you're a boxer where it's mandatory) and then trotted out a series of strange statement's, which included blaming all of his senior players. Took no responsibility himself but said the effort was there. If the effort was there but the team doesn't perform then perhaps the coach isn't instructing them properly.

Looking likely to be better than Agar.

I listened to that, his tactics in his words were if they can spend enough time in the oppos half then they'll eventually score. Inspiring stuff. They look the antithesis of us, we look as much of a team as I've seen since early Morgan years. Very together with each other and the fans. Even clarkey commented on it. He said about our lap of honour against St's and realised that it wasn't cos we'd beat the champs as he thought at the time, it's cos it's what they do all the time. Close to the fans and enjoying it. He said it must be the best club to be in at this time. Nice words Mr Clarke. FC on the other hand look like they don't want to be there, effort is there but it looks like a chore, maybe the difference between a team that's winning to one that's losing but I think it's more than that.

We appear to be turning into a defend and counter attack side rather than a you score one we will score two side, and by rights it shouldn't be as entertaining, but it is. The passion, togetherness and fan appreciation of this current squad is such a relief from the past few seasons and we easily mitigated an Fc side who were using the old up your jumper for three tackles, run sideways for the fourth and kick aimlessly on the fifth that we have previously been employing. It's very heartening and hope we can keep this spirit in the side through this season and beyond. Things are already being put in place for next season with the recruitment of JP which hopefully will lead to better player retention and enabling us to recruit players of a similar mentality, so it's onwards and upwards and let's see how we fair in the game with Hudds on Monday!

Totally professional performance against our poor neighbours,tackled well and did all that was required for a comfortable win.

Rovers team spirit is the best since the 2007 squad who had to fight to stay up with essentially half a squad of National League players. That same spirit coupled with the talent is what creates the anticipation & excitement across fans & club alike.

As for the mess across the city. Long may it continue, couldn't happen to a nicer club. This is what happens when you collectively believe the "emperors new clothes" bull that Pearson uses to flog season passes. Expectation levels not aligned with the team's ability. The coach isn't the problem, he's doing a fine job.

Totally agree with the last post. We have the 'Feel Good Factor" again.
Reading a lot of the comments from Hull fans, they still seem to think they played poorly, not that we played well.
I am working overseas and watched the game via satellite,it was a true derby atmosphere for the first half, then home fans were silenced and went home.
Now what can we expect from KR? I beleive we have possibly the inform halfbacks in the competition,our confidence is high and we have a good cup draw, can`t wait to get home..COYR

I think it's fair comment that we didn't as a team play that well. A lot of errors blunted our attack. But surely even the FC fans must credit us for our dogged defence. We were under pressure for a large part of that game yet only conceded one try, caused by a small mistake.

I was sat in the West stand among the FC fans (great when we win) with my mate & at half time we agreed that FC had not been bad? but God knows what their coach said to them but when they came out they just did not seem to have any leadership & were wandering about looking lost. The only thing that supprised was that we did not put a load more points on them, maybe we did what we had to & saved a bit for monday. Any way a great night for us but it got a bit lonley when their fans started leaving early, at least I could enjoy the sight of the north stand enjoying the night.

your defence was superb. Also the intensity of it was what I noticed most. I would be happy if I was a rovers fan, but in truth, a victory against such a clueless set of morons probably doesn't mean too much.

You're probably right. It was an embarrassment to actually concede points against such opposition in truth.

I'm really surprised to see so many of your fans getting on Houghton's case. As a Rovers fan he's one player who makes me nervous when he's in possession and his passion and commitment is obvious.

I like Houghton, but I must admit our speed around the ruck (passing) and decision making is not the best. I think we have far bigger issues than Houghton though

Danny Houghton is a good player and one of SL's most consistent and standout performers in recent years. He doesn't deserve criticism from FC fans especially now. There are others who are letting the side down right now. Pryce, Westerman, Talanoa, Rankin, Shaul, your back up props and your centres in any combination are all below par at the mo. Then there's the coaching staff who are short of ideas in their gameplan and can't motivate.

Early 2nd half Hull had a great chance down the short side about 15m out. We were outnumbered & we had at least one defender left on the floor when the ball was played. I was convinced a try was coming. Fortunately Houghton decided to set off in field instead. He does most things very well, I just don't think he's a 'smart' player.
