Rovers did very well against a strong experinced Hull side.
Hull controlled the game and should have won by more, Rovers took there chances.
For Rovers The players that stood out was Spaven, The Fullback (Not sure his name but had a Scrum hat on), and taylor.
You stand off (Ianson?) also had a hugh kicking game, an that's what got you the points in the first half and kept Hull at bay.
Rovers looked a good side.
Not sure i can agree with Hull controlled the game Dave.
I thought Spaven controlled it for the opening 20 and it was the 20 minutes after HT when Hull got on a roll that eventually made the difference.
If Hull controlled the game they should have won by far more then 2 points.
Scott Taylor has a big future in front of him if he continues to progress.
I liked the look of the ginner Hull brought off the bench and the Winger was dangerous.
What was most apparent to me is the differing styles between the 2 clubs at every level.
Hull just try to bash their way up the middle whilst Rovers look to get the ball to the 3/4's at the earliest chance.
It was the same in the Academy game on Thursday.
Had it been 2 reserves starting line ups in the purest forms IE no King etc and Rovers with Watts/Mariano/Dee it may well have been an easy victory for Rovers.
I enjoyed the game though and thought the discipline of both sides deserves a mention.
