If that's the case, can we actually name a 19 for next week? When the chips are down, they really are for us.

If Makinson had scored it then it would be hailed as one of tries of the season.

A much better performance last night. We gave it a real go and played with passion and pride which is all you can ask. Saints strangled us in the end with the goal line drop outs and penalties. We couldn’t handle Makinson in the air and in the end spent too much time defending second half. Roby was outstanding for them.

On another day we would have got the Shaw decision which was the turning point. Tilse was a different player last night and looked like the NRL player we signed rather than the Karl Pilkington that turned up.
Hope we can back it up next week. Big ask with all the injuries

I reckon Green will get a ban for applying makeup to Travis Burns. Green will get 4 games because we are Hull KR and Burns will get £1000 of Max Factor vouchers by way of compensation and goodwill from the RFL towards cheek filler.

Assuming Clarkson goes the same way as Greenwood with his concussion and Albert Kelly's hamstring fails to heal, we are looking at a squad of 16 fit players for next week at Widnes.

Heard it on extremely good and reliable authority last night that Luauki arrives from Bradford next week, so he might get a run out in the halves for 5 minutes before he gets sent off. Deep joy.

Can't remember a season with so many disruptions and problems for one team.

looked a lot more than 6,500 there to me

At least we had some line speed in defense and a deeper line in attack.
With a decent ref we would have hammered Saints, Shaw's try was good, they scored from a blatent forward pass and then got away with a knock on for the next try. I thought Bentham had a shocker but most of the officials are crap. To my mind the touch officials should have a flag like American football and when they see an infringement it should be thrown on to the pitch.

Looked about right to me.

Even if we were down to 2 fit players I wouldn't want us to sign Ena Sharples. She's f#cking rubbish. 10 minutes of penalties to the opposition and little else.

Err, it was a try!
