| Well done on the win. A fair result.
Looks like it could be Hull or Rovers for 8th and a possible late summer trip to Perpignan.

| Two closely matched sides I thought, chufted to bits with the win but neither side looked particulary brilliant. What I was pleased about was seeing glimpses of that Rovers 'spirit' back in the side, they looked hungry for it today. Well done lads!

| it was a good hard game, a typical S/L derby, not much skill but plenty of effort. Rovers looked like they wanted it more to me. Ganson did his best to let the game flow IMO, missed a bit but was fair to both sides. Briscoe, Cockayne and Colbon made some great yards today, Wheeldon was very good too. Briscoe M.O.M for me.

the game was close but the quality was poor, 1 fan decided to throw a bottle which is obviously wrong but a reckon there was a few thousand that decided to cheer and clap when longy sufferd a serious injury

Whats your tipple - Bitter? Who is worried about quality when you get a derby victory - quality not as important as the bragging rights

| Quote: Suzie "Genuine question?
Do you really believe that you played that well today? I've just listened to Morgan on the way home and he's saying he believes it's the best you've played all season. We all have opinions and look at games differently but I thought the game showed that both teams are poor and deserve to be were there are in the table. From an Hull point of view we were terrible, we had so much ball in that 1st half and was absolutely clueless in attack.
I believed we'd win today because I thought our forwards would be too strong for you but I admire the way you play for each other and hang in there and I think you deserved to win. I thought both ur half backs played well and Wheeldon had a very good game constantly taking the ball forward.'"
Fair question, but the key element you're not taking into account is intensity. The higher intensity then the lower scoring the game in most cases.
Yes, the first game of the season Rovers scored tries against FC like shelling peas but the game wasn't high intensity as such like today. Likewise due to Bentham's disgraceful "refereeing" on Good Friday which resulted in us being on the end of a ridiculous 5-1 penalty count by half time so a stop/start affair in which we didn't see much of the ball meant for a game with less intensity.
Today we had only one penalty in the first half and more trading of sets even though Rovers made more errors. And the reason FC looked clueless in attack was due to Rovers defensive intensity - similar to the play-off game last season when FC's only points came from a Briscoe try (which wasn't actually a try because he was in touch).
I suppose what I'm saying is that Rovers can simply defend to level of intensity that FC can simply not do anything about - even when you are at full-strength with the exception of Phelps and part of this is down to the fact that FC's players are no where near as good as most of FC's fans think they are which is why FC won't finish in the play-offs this year.
Rovers scoring only three tries isn't exactly worth bragging about but when you consider we had Fox, Webster, Clinton and Watts all on the sidelines, not to mention the salary cap space used for Mason, then it's fair and reasonable to say that a full-strength Rovers side against a full-strength Rovers side with an equal penalty count would probably result in a 20+ points difference in the favour of Rovers every time.
Rovers defended really well today and I really feel that Morgan's squad rotation policy this season is just starting to bear fruit because the players look in nick.

Considering you have the ultimate RL fans "database" then I'm sure you'll be able to see I have posted recently - just not in great numbers due to the fact I'm a busy lad these days.
Anyway, regarding the 4th place prediction, I didn't foresee the Mason debacle which has been a massive distraction regardless of what anyone says and I still think we can finish 6th - 8th which will would probably as accurate as most fans predictions.

Well, I've done some regression analysis and there is a a perfect correlation between Rovers under-delivery and your absence from these boards. Coincidence? I think not, my vertically challenged chumster.
You said Rovers would finish 4th "without doubt". Perhaps you need to temper your language a little. I'm assuming if Rovers do finish 6th it will be at the expense of Saints whom you again ruthlessly wrote off at the start of the year as the height of average. Who are you hoping for in the CC semi finals, then?

Ah a derby win and Zod comes out of the woodwork.
The hilarious thing about that post is that you actually believe it. All I can say is what complete and utter cack. Still carry on

| Quote: Mrs Barista "Amen to that. Sounded well deserved and spices up the battle for 8th. Woo-hoo!
Thank you and (it sounds like you were not there) don't believe the talk that it wasn't a good game etc and both teams were rubbish.
It was a great game in the balance until very late on and both teams played their part.
In my biased opinion Rovers deserved to win just as Hull deserved to win at the KC.
If I was picking out a Hull player for praise it would be Richard Horne. Circumstances were such that he often found himself the one to take a big hit as the last line of defence. He never flinched and it never put him off his game.
Brilliant piece of skill from Westerman for Hull's second try. Tom Briscoe...hmmmmm .....well we all have bad days.
Scott Wheeldon played like a man with a point to prove he was the MoM never mind what the sponsors said.
Hull played pretty good they were tough but Rovers didn't want to submit today. IMO Hull have just a few too many 'not bad' players in their overseas spots. That's all of them, apart from O'Mely & Fitzgibbon.
Sorry to say they have another 2 'not bad' overseas players signed up now for next year. That's 9 now till they get rid of someone, just the same as those overseas junkies Hull KR.
Recruitment is the problem at Hull FC not the coaching.
