Some things in life are bad
They can really make you sad
Other things just make you swear and curse
When you're chewing on life's gristle
Don't grumble, give a whistle
And this'll help things turn out for the best...and .......

Admit it, you're crap.

reality check.....

Power pack X
better defence X
long hard season TICK.

Cockayne on Humberside: "They (Rovers) won't be intimidated and they won't take a backwards step. Expect to see a stronger Hull KR this year". Guess the interview was recorded before the match. Thoughts afterwards, those who went?

Genuine question - Sandercock has just said that KR forwards matched Leeds.
Humberside (Lloyd) said they looked ponderous.
Who is right ?

Thought we matched Leeds pack for the whole of the 1st half and probably went in at half time the stronger side. The second half we just didn't turn up. The left edge was shocking and Welham in particular has to be singled out for criticism for some really poor reads and jumps out the defensive line.

Welham does what Yeaman does jumps out of the line to make the tackle which looks great when it comes off but teams just run in when it doesnt.

I would rather they didn't and just kept the straight line defence as your timing as got to be so perfect.

Read MR's warning-AS

haha amazing got deleted, so touchy when only aimed at the one person who posts rubbish on our board day in day out, really glad I don't come on here often, you lot and give it but cannot take it.

In the first half I can say that we beat leeds up at times in the middle.
In the second half we seemed to have morphed into a powder puff pack who just seemed to get rolled over.

I would give Whelham a week off. Our left edge looked constantly exposed in the second half.

Very encouraging first half , thought we were a little unlucky not to turn around in front.
Leeds stepped it up second half and we never really came out of the sheds

Yes , salter next week , please.

It wasn't great in the first half as if you think about it Ben Cockayne had to 'solve' it himself by jumping the line more than once and thankfully they didn't keep going back there.
In the second half they did and it was always going to be a matter of time before the gaps appeared because when Watkins and Briscoe get that much space you are always going to pay in the end.

Its very difficult to read much into one game, but Sandycock said on radio that David H has picked up a 6 to 8 week injury, he seemed to blame your outside backs for the defeat so this gives less room for change, TBH welham has been a turnstile for a few seasons now good attacker but defence is very poor tough run of 5 games coming up

Very pleased from what I saw from the team in the first half even though the penalty count was creeping up.

After the first half I thought our forwards showed some real menace and intent and had they contained their enthusiasm we would have seen more of the ball and in turn some more points.

In the second half Leeds repeatedly shifted the ball to our left edge and we couldn't handle the pairing of Watkins and Briscoe.

At this point it's worth noting that Salter had the best game of his career nullifying Watkins last year and IMO should be replacing Welham at left centre next week because I think many Rovers fans are waking up to the fact that Welham is nowhere near international class - he's been schooled by Cudjoe and Watkins in successive weeks.

The main positive was Keetings first half performance with a superb try in the fifth tackle and a succession of precision kicks.

Lee Richardson said Rovers looked undercooked due to the lack of minutes during preseason but I'd rather have that than a load of injuries.

I'm still confident we'll have a good season but I do think Welham's days are numbered.
