not a lot in the game baring a couple of presents for wire which they took,although to be fair to atkin he did engineer 2 scores at the other end,,austin appeared to apply pressure to tomkins head with bodyweight with a flop, another angle may prove or disprove his intent it certainly put paid to his afternoon whatever ,we are going in the right direction at the moment and are far more competitive than previous years, the gap is closing slightly ,wire were not brilliant on the day and found it tougher than they expected i assume

Just watched game on hull kr tv, wow we lost that game rather than Wire winning it. Drop Aktin, put the prodigy that is Dagger at Full back, all is well!!

So, he's innocent then? Or maybe your view from 50m away in the East stand is more reliable? No, it'll all come down to what the touch judge saw and subsequently relayed to the referee.

Rovers pack were a good match with ours - thought Garbutt made a number of very good carries. McGuire and Drinkwater's kicking game made us start a lot of sets near our own line. It wasn't a high quality game given the windy conditions (which may have given rise to Austin's pass looking forward when initially it's going backwards), and there were some soft tries conceded by both teams. Cannot comment on Austins tackle (it's not a flop as Hughes doesn't complete a tackle), as I couldn't see any contact with the head from where I was in the south stand. Also the footage on Sky doesn't show any contact with the head either, but I'm not suggesting he's innocent, or not, as I just cannot tell. Happy to get 2 points with an off key performance. Thought the ref slowed the game down by not being ready for some reason or another, when the attacking team wants to get on with it after a break in play. Only two games in and still plenty to play for.

Or if there are other camera angles? But yes that Sky footage proves little either way.Will see come Tuesday?
Weve heard all about how our squad is stronger this season so i guess we'll find out now. Dagger needs a go at fullback but i think TS will stick with Atkin though. I didnt go yesterday but listening on the radio it sounded like our pack matched Warringtons which is a plus.

The pack was great, making metres down the field ain't gonna be an issue this year as it has in our whole SL era.
