Would you have still won today without the equivalent of our injury list, i.e. Briscoe, Fitzhenry, Webster, Welham, Vella, Wheeldon, Fozzard, Lovegrove, Murrell, then? God forbid, you might have had to give a homegrown player other than Welham a game.
There's a distinct difference between injuries during a season than injuries during the game as injuries during a game prevent you from executing your planned rotations.
Your players played above themselves because it is your cup final where as we are planning ahead for the play-offs. Your missing players are poop and would have made very little difference.
Whatever teams would have been out there, we would have won because that's what Hull KR is all about - we will not lose to teams like yours and maybe it's time for you to digest the fact that we are the superior force in this city.
Playing with 16 players for the majority of the match certainly limited the interchanges and helped Hull stay in the match but at the end of the day history will show Rovers won another derby and pull away 7-3

If you are allowed to hypothesise then so am I. My view is that if you had been missing Briscoe, Fitzhenry, Webster, Welham, Vella, Fozzard, Wheeldon, Lovegrove and Fitzhenry, we may have won a game we lost by 6 points. As for Fisher playing a half with injections, Berrigan's been doing it for several months. Let's just say you did have our injury list. Who would have come in that you're so sure of? You need 4 props - isn't Watts out on loan and Aizue out of favour? Netherton, Mills plus 2 from the academy, then. Plus 2 centres (Haynes plus similar) a FB (cockayne) a utility back and a LF. Don't know who all the 9 would be, but to claim any 9 would have done is a tad naive. No need for insults BTW. Enjoy your victory with a bit of grace and dignity.

Several of the Rovers team are being nursed through training and games also.
Did you not see the strapping on Newton and Cooke's legs.
And Newton has carried a bad thumb injury for weeks.
At the end of the day 6 points or 60 its a W in the record books for Rovers.

Rovers played below par today yet still mopped up another 2 points. Hull can claim a moral victory of sorts, however I'm not sure how this helps their continued avalanche down the table?
Our average performance on the other hand helps cement our top 4 claim. Happy days!

Players not playing for a period of time can be moved out of the 20/25 rule on a temporary basis.
There's also the factor that you haven't played the second round or quarter-finals of the Challenge Cup.
Of course you will disagree but my team will do what they need to, to beat a bottom-four team like yours.
And like I say, had we been able to have a full 17, then we would have crucified you - just like the final game of the last two seasons.

Listen love. U struggled to beat one of the worst FC teams in living memory. Having to rely on a dodgy decision to save ur bacon. Play like that against a decent team, and you'll be found out. Im sure wigan leeds and saints are sh*tting themselves
You have to get up early to beat the Airlie Birds!

And Wigan lost to Celtic who are rock bottom.
So even poor sides have the occasional good 80 minutes.
