One thing today proved to me was when we get out new ground we need to make sure the home supporters are given the side stand. The rovers fans were on the back of the officials all the time and were a big influence over some of his calls.

The game desreved a draw to well played to both teams

I agree. It's about time we made our home support count. Hull KR fans certainly do have an influence on both their team and officials (not an excuse by the way KR fans) by filling that whole stand along the touch line.

On the game, i actually said i'd take a draw as i felt it's what both sides deserved, just before Huby went for that failed drop goal attempt. We had the upper hand at that point but over the next few minutes we buckled and KR snatched victory. I suppose who ever did just edge in front could always argue they were better and for me both sides could have won the game. Shame as a Cas fan we lost out in the end.

You where much the better side mate, we have got away with one today

Re: Hull KR away : Sun Aug 01, 2010 7:58 pm  

Awesome match and Cas have some really good attacking flair. Attacked us on the fringes and didn't go toe to toe with us and it paid dividends. Cas should have won TBF you bombed about 4 certain tries. Really really good game.

I always thought you were the better in the first half with us better in the second. Typically i always watch my side more and never felt we had the composure to win it, the bombed chances proved that in the end. I think that's pretty much summed up our better half to the season also, (the games we lost before cos we were crap were nothing to do with composure however, we were just crap lol). I think we defended well in chunks, but i always felt that KR could go from their own line and score within a couple of sets, using that better composure. I'm a bit gutted we lost of course, but i'll take those defeats over "useless, pathetic, not fit to lace ma boots" defeats from earlier in the season. I think on the whole Hull KRs game plan is pretty simple, but still tough to beat. A good set of forwards who bash you around a lot, with a sprinkling of good angled running from the likes of Newton and then end result being, give Dobson a bit of space to do his stuff. Easy to spot, but so tough to stop sometimes. Also, Charnley didn't half finish his chances well. Looks to have good pace, especially first 20m and caught us out every time. One for the future i guess.

Depends on our injury situation.
Having 2 props out will make hell of a difference.
Lets hope it's not as serious as first though, though according to TM both could be out for the season.

My gut feeling is HKR will just pip us in the end, a bit like the crusaders game last week. Hope i'm wrong.

Sorry, you were right

Losing after the hooter is the worst feeling in the world (in RL terms). Probably felt worse then when Leeds beat us last year. Can't even remember the last time we won a game with the last kick / move of the match

Re: Hull KR away : Mon Aug 02, 2010 12:41 am  

It was a special kick to win the game though.

On the face of it maybe, but you made far fewer mistakes, conceded far fewer penalties, had more composure and an infinitely better kicking game.

We probably showed superior individual ability but as a team you stuck with the winning formula you have devised so while I feel we were unlucky to lose I wouldn't say you were lucky to win...you worked for it especially in terms of scrambling defence when we were opening you up like Xmas.
