Great performance tonight, dominated the game, forwards gave 100% with some great efforts driving the ball up from the backs too. If we play like that against Wigan we've got more than a good chance

Well done to us, nervous about this pre game but so glad the result has put us back on track. Great that Abdul has shown a few people up, hopefully he can cement his position and then who knows how next year will pan out.

Excellent display from Hull. Very dominant. I'm a little disappointed that we conceded a couple of tries although like all desparate teams Rovers were throwing the ball around.

Particularly pleased with our defence though, very solid for the most part.

Great to be back on top, let's hope for a Leeds win tonight. Also great to again condemn that lot to the middle eights. May they not return.

Tbf maybe it would have been closer had Kelly played. Speaking of which:



Two seasons in a relegation dogfight though. Maybe the hype was a bit excessive after all.

I heard right then. As Brian Carney said after the game
"On the positive side for Hull KR they were really dominant..for the first 4 minutes"

The stats are interesting. rovers had 3 forwards, including the donkey tilse, who made more metres than any of our forwards. in fact we struggled to make ground in quite a few sets whereas they seemed to make it easily most of the game - something we also saw against leeds and hudds where our defence isn't moving up quickly and aggressively enough for me. It was our goal line defence (and rovers being rubbish with the ball)added to a much improved attack that won us the game.

lawler looks a really good prospect for rovers and hopefully we can sign him when he decides to move to a bigger club

I though Walker was excellent for them, I reckon they made a lot of metres towards the end, but I agree we need to tighten up the ruck and slow the play down.

I watched the game again and we hardly missed first half according to the commentators, it was the last 20 when they made the breaks and metres.

Goal line defence was great and some very good attacking play, particularly on the right

i think a lot of that could come down to how early in the tackle counts we were kicking too. Numerous times on 3rd/4th tackle we were kicking - do that for 10 sets in game and you are talking about another 20 carries at least

Great win. One of the easier and more relaxed derbies to watch I can remember. Too big, too fast and too strong against a hapless bunch of cellar dwellers who were certainly one of the worst teams to visit the KCOM this season despite being almost at full strength. Good to see some form return to some of our key players - and specifically what a great advert for the U23's competition was Jordan Abdull. Early season he looked overweight and way off the pace. The U23 comp has allowed a young player to develop his fitness and hone his skills away from the pressure of first team and he looked a different player as a result last night.

Great performance last night.

I did wonder why we had Pryce on the bench but then realised we were playing a team with a cheap shot hatchet man type player in Cockayne who, when not spitting his dummy out was trying to injury key players (Sneyd and Shaul).

I thought Radford's interchanges were very good.

I know Ellis' presence on the field give Hull a massive lift, but Minichello's aggression when running the ball in was amazing.

Funoa? Do you accept he will inexplicably knock on with the line at his mercy if he can release his winger, Michaels, with amazing off loads? Or would you want him to be super safe, never knock on but never pass?

As for rovers, I think they are owed an apology from Kelly.
