Most of the saints U20's were in the 1st team

Should have put KR's 20s in there then and we would have made a fist of it - boys v boys!

stan the man!!!!!!!!!

Well, that was a pleasant night out on Merseyside.

Positives to take? Erm...

The nice stewards didn't wang me out for having a cheeky fag round the back.
The chance to visit some proper RL toilets, although my slashing against corrugated iron technique was rather rusty since my last visit to Hilton Park and I think my Campers suffered a bit of splash back.
Doing a second take as I saw the team stood on the hard shoulder of the M62 and then wondering how many of them you can get in a Golf.
The amusing young scamps Saints fans stood behind us.
The chorus of "Four points to the Referee" when we scored in the second half.

Think that's about it.

One good thing you can take from a drubbing is the chance to watch quality players do their thing and not be that fussed because the games gone. Eastmond was terrific at times tonight and I'm not ashamed to say I applauded his try.

Oh, and that pub near the grounds quite a nice spot, real ale and little kids playing TGG on the old bowling green.

It's all your fault PMH, you & your black eye.

The standard this year is worse than last.

hkrs maybe

aussie clique anyone?

You only have to look at both Hull clubs, both been gash pretty much so far and yet both sit in a play-off spot.

Quick question, are you allowed to sin bin a player for a head high tackle?

We have been world class compared to you lot

And sit a massive 2 points clear of us

Remember this?


You know how popular your humour is on here, don't you? You're familiar with my fondness for ambiguous, [ipossibly[/i unkind rhetorical questions, aren't you?

MR.

but when hull fans said this last year hkr fans wouldn't have it.

The over all standard of sl drops every season with the quota.

Disagree completely, the quality of our squad, Bradfords' squad, and Warringtons' squad have all improved dramatically, you could also say that Huddersfield/Leeds have better squads this year too.

I dont think that has had such a big effect on it yet.

The quality of SL has dropped ever since rovers came into it. Just a coincidence mind.

so why is the standard down then?

Do you think the standard of our team is down from last year? Or Bradfords/Wigan/Warringtons? Do you think the standard of Leeds'/Huddersfields' squad is down from last year?

I think the average standard has stayed about the same. More teams have been pulled into the mid-ranking category, from both ends of the spectrum, making it less predictable.

Everyone wanted the salary cap to even things out, making games less predictable and IMO it's starting to. Salford have beat us, Huddersfield and Saints at home. You've beaten Saints and Leeds yet got tonked by Saints twice. We've beat 3 of last years top 4 - 2 away from home yet lost to both of last years bottom 2.

Standards of our officials



The threat of no relegation?

I'm not sure, its hard to put a finger on it.

There was the suggestion made by many Hull fans that Rovers were in a false position last year, that their relative success was due in very large part to the failures of others rather than their own level of performance. The idea that our current poo-ness is a vindication of that argument, I'd reject. Across the course of a League season you get roughly what you deserve. You don't fluke 35 competition points.
The only major thing that has changed is that then Rovers form was generally good and now it is average with intermittent bouts of abyssmal. Which is the 'real HKR', is something that people will decide based very much on their allegiances. My opinion is that they both are.

They need another coach.

But yet we have the same squad as last year and look at us

Is the game in this era mainly about fitness?

If you look at most games there won and lost in the last 20 is hull kr's fitness not up to skratch?

After what happened at murryfield and last night the fans who traveled should get a refund out of the players wages
