We seemed fatigued and lack lusted for majority of that 80 minutes, I can sort of see why with us having a short turn around from the Salford game only last Sunday. However all teams have to deal with short turnarounds in the season. We don't seem to have the mentality to win games when it comes to settling a game by a drop goal we've seen it a few times this season. There's not direction from our so called senior spine players, it's looks as though Myler & Sezer are both scared to attempt a drop goal, in the last 10 minutes most teams know how to set up for a drop goal attempt we don't seem to do it until there's less than 1 minute left and even then the core skill of some players let's us down. I like Sangare was never going to be a world class prop he carries the ball well and shows effort in defence but his core skill of catching and passing and playing the ball is very amerturish and it was 2 big moments in tonight's game unfortunately for him. I feel a bit for Fusitu'a because he was probably our best player tonight constantly getting us out of trouble in yardage but his error will obviously be remembered for allowing KR to get a drop goal attempt. End of the day you don't need to be the best team in the world to win some games at times and tonight was one of those nights where both teams we're pretty average but we seem to be a team that beats ourselves majority of the time instead of the opposition completely out playing us. If we do get play off rugby and that's a big if we need to see a mentality change within our playing group because I think that's 90% of our problem at times.

Poor game all round. Distribution from dummy half shocking all night. No running on to the ball. Looked like a u10 sides tactic. Desperately need a leader on the pitch. All in all glad we lost the game and now look unlikely to be in the playoffs. If we scrape in it will look like a successful year and we get the same next year

Hate golden point its pretty much the worse rule in RL for League games Tell that to the jubilant HR fans. I dunno: disappointing result for sure but we actually played pretty well for most of it, I’m not hating on that performance. We snag a drop goal before FT and everyone’s positive - that’s sport. We should have been too good for KR with the team they had out but we lack some star quality. All the Blake Austin fans - there you go. Did almost nothing except try to be greedy. Think Mik, Tom and Cam Smith look a real good cornerstone of that Leeds pack now. Gutted Walters is leaving still. Wondering if we still need +1 big bopper ugly thing in the middle.

Gutted Walters is leaving still. Wondering if we still need +1 big bopper ugly thing in the middle. Just on Oledzki. Obviously the potential is there, but in my view he's been way off international form since returning from injury. Hands like blocks of soap. Maybe it's a concentration thing. Whatever it is, he's really going to have to work very hard to be an England prop forward.

Just got home after another night of watching a poor side. I agree we are better off not making the play-offs as it would tend to paper over the cracks. Being honest we are an 8th or 9th placed side.On the field leadership and organisation is non-existent, especially at crucial times and we don't learn. So far this season I have seen 3 halves of decent rugby and I have been to every home game. Hull KR fans were shocking tonight, and so was the policing. Stewards did their best but got no assistance from the police, if there were any police there. I thought there were a couple at that end but I suppose they could have been paramedics. Difficult to tell from the back of the South Stand. Not a great start to the weekend!

Thought we were really flat all game tonight, never felt like we would win. Posters wanting us to lose and not make the playoffs? Really? Thought Nene was outstanding tonight, the only positive. I can see how the Levi signing if true makes sense, Oconner and johnson have real potential but they are very young and only at the start of their careers, I think we might need some more experience at hooker for a couple of years.

Sorry but I don't agree. It's a bit of a kick in the teeth to the lads we have got. Is Levi going to make so much difference? not in my opinion, so I would stick with the lads we have who are good at the moment and could be outstanding with regular matches.Also other superleague clubs will be interested and we may lose them. Also they are proud to waer the shirt and that should be encouraged. whereas Levi comes for the money. My worry is we can't seem to be able to develop a good halfback,

I'm not sure that beating a mickey poor Leeds team in golden point during a regular league fixtures is worth a pitch invasion, but each to their own. The KR fans were being idiots all evening. Some idiot ran down to the front of the stand to try and fight O'Conner after his try (someone behind me suggested that O'Conner threw the ball onto the away end after scoring which upset the fan, but I didn't see what actually happened), someone was ejected by a large group of stewards (possibly the idiot who fancied a pop at Jarrod), there were plastic glasses and bottles been thrown at players and officials from the KR fans, police had to make an appearance on the Western Terrace to calm things down, and then they tried to invade the pitch after the final whistle. I'm guessing Hull KR have some new supporters from the round ball game who don't know how to behave at a match.
