0-24 at half time - not exactly whetting the appetite for the new season at this point.

Getting humped, 3 gone off injured already. What's not to love about friendlies?

whos gone off?

Saving yourselves for next week's cup final

Hopefully

Nice to see we've the same frailties as last year, apart from our attack going backwards!

I see our luck with injuries hasn't improved either.

Larroyer - confirmed dislocated shoulder injury.

Deja vu listening to it. Weak weak weak. Defence sounded symbolic as usual. It cones with the ticket that we ship 3 tries a half minimum.
We've recruited young players. They look to have great promise but they ain't gonna fix our defence.
I'll watch it on hull kr tv then come back.
I'm afraid I'm losing patience with Chester.

Looking for posatives, maybe we have got our "ONE" inept performance out of the way before the season starts? Its a reality check for the new guys? Did anyone play well?

James Green was good and young Mulhearn showed up ok, the rest were gash.

Same old same old, god knows what Chester and Poching have been doing with the team in pre season but, based on todays performance not much by the look of things.
The positives were few and far between, however, some praise has to be give to some of the pack who overall performed reasonably well I thought, in particular James Green and Greenwood when he came on.
I also thought Walker played some good minutes and on top of those I thought Thornley looked very promising.
On the flip side I thought the backs looked very out of sorts with Marsh, despite his late try, looking very ordinary at halfback, he needs to get involved more and take on the line because for most of the game he just shipped the ball on.
The problems we were experiencing on the field last season seemed to have been carried forward to this one with no lessons learnt, sloppy goal line defence and lack of concentration at crucial times were there for all to see today.
Although this was a pre season friendly and against a very good Huddersfield outfit who I'm sure will be in the top 4 this year, Rovers were hugely disappointing overall.
I just hope that they can manage to sort things out quickly otherwise it could be a long hard season ahead, plus Chester and Pooching could well be picking up their p45s before the end of the season as I'm pretty sure the fans will not stomach more excuses and another failure this season.

I wouldn't worry about pre-season friendlies. A few years ago we beat Leeds away and Chris Thorman was motm. At long last we have solved our half back problem. We finished 12th.

Green went very well and Greenwood looked good but apart from that very few positives. Anyone know why Lunt didn't play

Chester said Lunt turned his ankle in training, he's having a scan next week.
