Give it a rest Jake. Easty made valid points. Our squad was too small and couldn,t cope with the injuries to our pivots, plus lack of props. We now have some back and are better for it, and did you notice we beat your beloved almighty(cough) FC twice this season. Agree with the Sheens comment though,we were in serious trouble, now we are just "in trouble" but now have a proper chance of survival if for once the rugby gods smile on us re. injuries to key personnel. Smith has changed things for the better, but no one is safe yet and it,s going to be a nervy last few games. Will FC rest a few against Leeds and Saints do the same against London...I suspect they just might, and if Leeds and London pull wins out of the bag, it,s all up in the air again. For once I hope you win, but don,t think you will.

Said HKR will stay up with Smith. They are a decent side with Mcguire on the pitch and the first choice pack.

As for us we have a good chance to put things right with Hull having more than one eye on the cup next week so should be taking advantage.

Parcell was let go as part of a deal to get a new overseas player to the club, and because his attitude had turned sour by the sounds. I have no problem at all with it.

We only need to finish above one other team to be safe, and that team will likely be London.

It’s OK the Leeds old boys coming over to HQ and winning bragging rights, but I don’t have a problem with us shifting any of them on. The club takes into account off-field as well as the on-field we see. Most speccies don’t have access to players’ training and medical records, and we don’t see how the players behave - it’s like any workplace, you have conflicts and issues sometimes.

The long game is about culture and teamsmanship.

Thought it was an entertaining game but individual errors and poor field and place kicking really cost us. We can and should play better than that.

Can’t agree about entertaining game thought the quality was shocking on our part as was the attitude again.

Regarding players to Hull KR from Leeds, The only one I regret going is Mags and he wasn’t a case of being pushed out. Parcell we know the reason why he went didn’t like giving him to a relaxation rival but that’s all there was in for him so understand it. Garbutt not bothered much prefer Ava in the team.

Don’t think there is much in the squads tbh. Just can’t wait for this season to be over the standard played from Leeds is shocking hopefully we will be going for a new coach and not retaining Agar as coach

Would certainly like to see si field away from the coaches box leave the coaches to coach. I personally really wish he had stayed with England Tbh. He was a playing legend at our club would have preferred him to walk away with the 2015 GF not like this.

The players only ever mention Agar Merrin gave him big raps KS has always said he has no desire to coach.Im sure Agar will ask Sinny for advice bit I believe it's Agar who picks the team

I take all these conspiracy theories about Sinfield picking the team with a pinch of salt . Massimo Cellino hes not

He failed as well I believe.

Re: SL RD 22 | Hull Kingston Rovers (H) : Mon Jul 15, 2019 7:39 am  

I don't think Sinfield is coaching the team. You can see in games, Agar is the one reacting to everything.

If Agar isn't going to be the long term coach, we could do a lot worse than Tony Smith. HKR aren't the best side, but some of their execution was very slick and well timed. Their set moves caused us huge problems all evening. He's a back to basics coach and players seem to be a bit scared of him too!
