Agree he's been a shrewd acquisition. One of very few over the last number of years.
Despite the defeat there was one thing that amused me on Saturday. When the game was won towards the end of the game the front of the east stand were given Hiku some stick. He responded by proudly pointing to and holding what he thought was the Rovers badge as a show of pride. Would have been a stirring gesture but he doesn't know he's left from right. He was pointing to kit manufacturers logo.
In addition, and not appearing in the minutes because no charge has been issued, the MRP studied footage of an incident involving Brad Fash of Hull FC and Elliot Minchella of Hull KR in Saturday’s fixture. This incident had not been reported to the match officials. Without any substantiating evidence, the MRP determined that the available footage was insufficient to charge for any reckless/intentional contact.

It just so happens that he's very proud to wear kit made by Oxen haha

Probably because he has such a small dick
We've seen the photo, he definitely found his small dick and a ball. Strange decision from the MRP,

He's upped the level of performance significantly and with such a scratch side we were above expectation to still be in it with 10 minutes to go. Fitness levels have also clearly improved as we spent the first 20 minutes defending and didn't drop off towards the end.
Defence needs sorting though and 60+ missed tackles isn't good enough although, first 20 minutes apart, our goal line and scrambling defence was good. Under smith that would have been a 50 point hammering.
We also need to remember we had a very young side with lots of academy graduates in there who will be all the better for the experience.
I don't believe in moral victories but think we can take some positives from a close game.
Fash is an idiot though and will likely now sit out most of our remaining games. Disappointing from our vice captain
I will admit that Grix has stopped the hammerings for now(next 2 games may change that mind) and fair play but still think he is out of his depth but my main gripe is his slagging players off in the paper,especially Balmforth,I would sooner him take him to one side and explain what he did was daft and work on it in training…not say he was dumb to the local rag for all to see.You see this tackle every game but other coaches don’t mention it.
