It's funny the harder a team works the luckier they get

Hull had enough field position in the 1st derby to win the game twice but at that stage we couldn't have scored in a brothel. With the way we're playing now we'd win that game with the same amount of field position and possession. The stats from the game were well in our favour other than the score obviously

Nice theory jake but you can't say you would have won I felt we should have won by at least 30 the win was that comfortable

First 25 mins or so Rovers just didn't compete really.

Cas were taking the ball up strong but were unopposed for 10 or 15 metres, then came the collision between a Cas player running at full pelt & a Rovers defender stood still waiting for him to smash into him. Unsurprisingly Cas won the collision and added to the 10/15 metres already gained unopposed.

It was quite shocking that Rovers were so lacklustre and I am at a loss to explain it.

Albert Kelly produced a couple of moments of brilliance to get us back in it and from them on it was a completely different game. Cas still gave it everything but no longer had the free 10/15 metres per tackle and suddenly they found it much harder.

For a while it looked like Rovers might pull it out of the fire and got within 2 points but a piece of brilliance from Campese didn't quite come off and Cas scored soon after to restore a 2 score advantage with not long left and that was that.

Going 0-18 down in the blink of an eye and without Rovers breaking a sweat ultimately proved too much of a hurdle.

Chris Chester & the Rovers team do need to do a bit of soul searching after this. Cas clearly came out with the intention of a fast start whilst Rovers seemed happy to work their way into the game.

Once the game became a contest there was little to choose and Rovers probably shading it. Definitely a game we could & should have won but didn't.

My point was that with the stronger pack you weren't dominating us

I disagree I think we dominated you from start to finish

The stats would say otherwise but you think what you like

Results count not stats and I suppose if we had defended really we'll at Magic we would have won 20-0 but that's not what happened

In all seriousness teams have worked out your soft underbelly which is your pack who are missing a few. Think most teams will go that route against you

We heard you first time.

Lol I do tend to repeat myself
