They're all here

Well if that’s the case what’s your team gonna do if history is anything to go by?

Wait til they beat injury riddled Saints next week.

But what about all of their injuries and short 7 day turn around if they lose, God forbid.

Melt down mode lol. Take a chill pill mate. I thought you’d be used to living in our shadow by now

Your shadow,we own our ground you play at citys ground.

Don't worry about Addled he's just a minor irritant. Far worse out there.

'Rovers cup final'

Four days later, Hull fans still gloating about 2 points.

IMO the teams have different agendas this year. For rovers its keeping away from the bottom which I think they will. For us it's a top 4/5 finish again which I hope we will do. I think you may turn Leeds over at the weekend. Big test for us. Just glad the rugby is up and running

I watched the game again last night and tried to watch it objectively.

I wouldn't say it was quite as simple as Hull's size and power vs Rovers' free flowing rugby, but Hull were definitely more direct in their approach. We looked to set a platform before getting it to Sneyd and Connor who were mostly looking for the second rows and centres to run a nice line for them. We did try to play rugby, it wasn't just 5 drives and a kick, but it was all quite compressed, we didn't get the wingers involved very much at all.

Rovers tried to move the ball a lot. The problem with that is that if you don't go forward first and draw in some defenders it's very hard to break a team down like that. Other than the tries you scored you didn't have us scrambling too often. We broke the line more often than you did.

The missed penalty was a big moment of course, but none of us have a crystal ball so it's impossible to say what would have happened afterwards.

Both teams played to their strengths and it was a very entertaining game. In the end Hull's quality shone through, but you should take a lot of positives from the game too.
