Yes Dagger at FB and Atkin and Lee hooker looks best option til the 2 first choice lads get back.

Yes

Agree please do not put Atkin at full back again if stuck put Hall their he has played fullback loads of times

Atkin wasnt bad, barring that one brain fart that he'll probably never do again i thought he went ok. Saying that id still start Dagger and have Atkin on the bench too.
Was Shaw an injury or was it tactical to counter Hull's kick to the corners? (Which they didnt try)

I thought it was a decent game for the conditions and with both teams missing key players I think hull should have closed the game out has they were well on top for the last 15 mins but credit to rovers kept going to the end,cannot see either team bothering the top 5 but still expect hull to finish above rovers, ijust think hull have a much bigger squad, thought garbutt was m.o.m.

Atkin made a big error letting the ball hit him and go into touch - Hull had the ball for ages after that with penalties and goal line drop outs and it seemed to drain a lot of energy out of Rovers.

Rovers are developing a nice habit of winning close games though. This quality has brought two derby wins and the nail biting wins at Leeds & Toronto kept us in Super League. We stopped winning close games after Justin Morgan left it is now finally coming back and goodness it is so important.

I think that we should all offer our congratulations to the FC fans who attended last night. Once the big screen awarded KR the final try they had cleared the stadium by the the time the kick was completed. Non of this staying behind nonsense to clap the team for them. Perhaps they would let us into their secrety so we can avoid the jams caused by KR fans staying behind.

I think you should congratulate any away team fans who travel to your dump of a ground and have to stand in the open in all weathers on a mud heap behind the posts.
its a disgrace to have to pay the same entrance fee as your supporters pay to stand undercover.
as for jams only a fool would have built Craven Park in the middle of a housing estate where access to the ground by car is so difficult but then again i suppose they too are Hull Kr fans.

First time logging on since the game, unreal ending to a poor game. Garbutt and Greenwood stood out for me. Tomkins showed up well as captain. Personal opinion is that playing a derby first game of the season really detracted from the occasion.

Agree about the North end needing a roof.Wouldnt need to be anything fancy.
Now as for location the KC is poorly situated also and the surrounding roads can't handle a near full house or a concert.Luckily for Hull fans it only gets over half full once a season so jams are light. Haven't read anywhere how Hull fans in the North enjoyed their experience? It's clean and modern.The West is decent.The East is ready for a spruce up but very close to pitch and atmosphere is amazing for most part. CP isn't perfect but it's certainly improved and the advantages of not having an SMC that fleeced us and actively wishes your franchise and owner ill can't be measured in real terms

Not like Pearson who charges extra for a KR visit to make an extra few bob. In the past has even put a surcharge of £1 on ticket prices as an enforced contribution to the FC charity, then had the brass cheek to brag how much the club had paid to support the charity.

Despite all this we attend and pay to support our club, not be objectionable and not turn up because of our poor facilities. The main thing is to support your club not to use issues like that to be objectionable. Still with your attitude you will probably not be able to comprehend that sort of view.

It is an FC generalism that CP is a dump.Majority that spout it ain't even been. Like I said,id like to hear a fan who went in North stand how they enjoyed their CP Derby experience apart from last 6 seconds?

Thank you Bonaire, thank you for your excellent clarification as to why FC fans don't stay and clap their players off at the end of a match. I now know that this is because the stadium is built in the middle of a housing estate and the cost is the same as elsewhere in the ground. And I had always thought that they deserted their team when they were losing. Silly me. However, I am still puzzled. After KR beat FC in the final match of the season a few years ago a video emerged of the FC players doing a lap of honour to three sides of a deserted KC stadium. Which muddy hill were they objecting to?

You think its better to play at hull citys ground,and create an atmosphere the equivalent of chants av cemetery? Anyway good luck to you in continuing your successive superleague defeats,I dont know what the record is,but your certainly giving it a good go.

This post says more about you as a person.

Most ridiculous post of the year.

So far it is only February after all give him chance he will come up with better LOL

imo theres only 1 derby, the losers sulk the winners dance, the way it is, love them when we win, hate them when we lose, good thing theres always another round the corner,

It always amazes me that so many FC fans allow their hatred of Rovers and our ground to stop them supporting their team.

Just cannot understand such a twisted mentality.

it's quite simple, many FC fans have higher standards than to travel East of the river, and certainly not to caravan park.

Thanks for sharing.

So by your own admission, your support for your team depends on the standard of the opposing teams ground.
I guess that explains why Hull FC have so many armchair supporters.
Real supporters like me, plus thousands of other Rovers supporters have travelled the lengh and breadth of the country in all weather, including heavy snow during winter rugby. Some of the grounds we've travelled to in the past wouldn't even be classed suitable for sheep never mind players and fans. No cover, no real toilets, no bars and in some cases little grass on the playing surface are just some of the things we have had to put up with, I include the old Boulevard to some extent in that summing up of old grounds.
Basically, as a supporter, the team comes first and the playing venue second.

New username, same old gormcloptitude.

You obviously arent very old or you would remember the threepenny stand where supporters used to stand and pee where they were stood ,so if you walked behind the stand you got soaked.Mind you maybe thats high standards in west hull.

First game I attended it happened to me. I thought it was raining. It was, it was raining urine.

Great days wonderful memories.

I think the Boulevard must have been the first ground to have water features installed at the back of one of the main stands.
