I disagree. Hull KR were in control for about half the first half. They totally lost it in the second half, though, but I have to say I expected them to, not least because they haven't got a big squad and the injuries they suffered last week impacted more upon them than it would upon the likes of Leeds. But also they have not had much experience of playoff footy and that won't help their cause this season. If they do win next weekend then they have to be prepared to take the kind of pressure they experienced in the first half all the way through to 80 minutes, and not cock up their try scoring opportunities.

SaintsFan wrote:But two of their tries should never have been. Their second try came after an illegal ball steal unnoticed by Ganson and their third came after a Leeds knock on in the tackle unseen by Ganson. If those two tries had not happened, would they have retained the momentum?
Er...yes.
Leeds won the game in the first fifteen minutes. HullKR kept them out well enough, but did so much extra work that gaps were always going to appear in the second half. Leeds were actually less-than-clinical in the end.
Also, HKR looked like scoring precisely *once* (twice if you count Fox's break, where there was still a lot of work to do whatever the commentary clowns have to say). And that (the try) was from a penalty to HKR that should have gone to Leeds.
Hull KR will play better that, with Briscoe and Galea back and no Prop at Centre, but they're still not going to beat Leeds, who can also play better, in a playoff game this year. Not that that's a disgrace. Anyway, good luck next week, and see you in two weeks time (bloody crazy system).

and as i said we was shocking in the 2nd half, no excuses, just simply wasn`t good enough in the 2nd half and got deservedly beat.
as a realist i didn`t expect a win ,i believe we still need 5 or 6 players to give us some more strength in depth before we will be serious contenders.
Nope its called nouse. Did you hear Ganson say all the best when he gave sinfield the ball to kick off?
Playoff rugby is all about knowing what works, how to talk to the ref, how long to lay on, when to jump the line. Little things like that.
Rovers will learn, and win.
