After watching the game again I'm a little happier then yesterday. For 74 minutes we probably outshone Hull especially a 20 minute period in the 1st half where I think we really took it to Hull down the middle. We lost our heads for 6 minutes and that period won Hull the game.

If we remember back to the Etihad game it was a similar 6-7 minutes that lost Rovers the game back then and also against Salford when we had a healthy lead. Think our lack of experience in certain departments could have played it's part and we'll be so much better next year for the experiences we have had this year.

Where Hull 18 pts better? Only on the score sheet and that's what matters unfortunately.

Your players thought you meant them.

Things have changed a lot since you were last there.

Exactly same mentality as the Hull fans cheering Eden off

I don't think we were a million times better then you but to say you was the better team for 74 minutes is deluded of the highest order.

Yesterday they mentioned in commentary that both teams had scored the same amount of tries throughout the season yet Rovers had conceded nearly 30 more tries then Hull have. Forget the table for a minute as IMO we both are better then what the table shows and for different reasons both clubs have found it difficult to sustain a level of consistency, mainly due to injuries.

Whilst this board is riddled with the usual "you were nothing special" jibes, the reality of the matter is whilst both teams are level on points Hull seem to have what it takes more then Rovers. Your defence really is terrible and your attack is average at best (although I do think you attack better then we do), our defence is outstanding and this is giving us the chance to win every game. We have not being blown off the park this season, where as Rovers have on numerous occasions.

It must really be a worry with the relative ease we scored points in that second half, the try from the kick off was embarrassing. I was as shocked as most at the ease Rovers just fell away, I had dreaded this game since the Chris Green try and couldn't believe what I was watching. Its one thing to drop balls or throw forward passes, but to not have the desire to roll your sleeves up in defence especially in a derby stinks.

I'd go as far as to saying that second half performance was the worst Rovers have played against Hull since you were promoted.

Not much to disagree with there, although I do think when our left edge is firing and fully staffed, our attacking threat is much better than yours. As you point out, having a solid defence keeps you in games against anyone. This is the reason why you have a better chance of sucess than us.

As for you analysis of our 2nd half, no, no, no. We have played far worse than that in a couple of heavy defeats at the KC (2008 & 2012), plus the 2007 derby at Craven Park.

Game of 2 halfs, rovers where better 1st hull 2nd, as been pointed out our defence keeps us in games where as rovers where very poor 2nd half,

We gave it a good go but that 5 minute spell in the 2nd half certainly cost us in terms of the scoreboard. But we can also point to losing Eden and the subsequent reshuffle, as crucial too.

It was pleasing to see Burns cap off his MOTM performance with a petulant sin binning.

ET and Walker were awesome for us, and up to his injury Eden was too.
Disappointing, but Hull got the job done, they capitalised on the opportunities we presented to them. We move on. Stan to play vs Leeds?

Hmm...the way Burns handed him off towards the end suggest his defence is not what it was

Just seen the highlights, not impressed with Burns at all. Stupid at the end, he came over with a reputation and he's lived up to it a few times this year. Should concentrate on playing rugby rather than mouthing off and picking fights.

How's Meli's arm

No need for any of it t.b.h., its a game for crying out loud.
