Well done to Hull FC on their win today. If we could keep all the gloating to this one thread, that'd be great. Other troll threads and posts will be trashed, and I wouldn't want you typing in vain. Cheers, MR.

I don't want to troll, I really enjoyed the game for obvious reasons. I was impressed with Rovers first half effort but thought the team were carrying some lazy or unfit players. I think the difference is the coaching IMO.

Tire Paea and Mike out and Rovers lose all of their impact. Not to mention just run at Kris Welham all day and you're bound to get the better of him.
Rovers fitness is awful and there you have it, your game plan for the day

No trolling but is Sandycock a long lost relative of Agar? The difference between the Morgan coached Rovers side and this one is huge!!

No trolling here. As a B&W I obviously enjoyed the game, well, from halfway through the second half, once the nerves had dissipated.

I was sat watching it with a couple of work colleagues. Both new to RL. I talked about how form goes out of the window etc etc and mentioned that 80 minute fitness may be an issue and that HKR might 'blow up' after the ~65 minute mark. They both now think I'm a tactical genius . . . all daftness aside, this was your tenth run-out of the season. What is your conditioner doing to them? Too much strength/bulk building and not enough stamina work?

Pains me to say it but I feel for you. Unless some of the things that are wrong off the pitch get sorted and soon, it'll be a long and mainly painful season.

How could you feel for Rovers? I honestly couldn't give a Edit-AS about them and they would say the same about us.

They wanted Gentle as their first choice coach and ended up with Sandercock-end!

Very easily. A little compassion goes a long way. My Wife is a R&W and I've lots of R&W friends. While I love the banter, there's no fun to be had in taking the mickey of the clinically depressed . . I've no desire to see an uncompetitive league.

Did you feel the same about Lovegrove's injury? Or did you applaud, in the true spirit of sport, when he was nigh on lifted from the pitch?

Horses for courses. Would be a bland world if we were all the same.

You still haven't beaten a good team

And Rovers fans have the nerve to criticise Hull fans for leaving early
