It was shocking how easily Hull KR kept making 50 metres from within their own ten, it wasn't like they were playing great rugby. Just absolutely no line speed/effort on our behalf. Players just didn't want it enough, and they don't have the quality to half ass it for 60 mins.

I am still relatively relieved about Wire. One month ago we really were looking down the barrel of bottom four and playing crap ... so don't take this too badly and stop moaning. I'd rather be in Top 8 than at Wembley ... and I bet HKR would.

The effort is there for the majority of the team. Just a shame that the people we rely on to keep the momentum when Hill and Sims go off are absolutely nowhere near good enough. I'd suggest at least splitting Hill and Sims up to minimise the damage in future. At least one forward on the pitch then will have some umf about them.

I think it's time that Smith was moved on. It seems he's untouchable for a large section of your support. He's the one who keeps signing all of the players who you want to get rid of.

His policy of letting the players play what's on is a cop out for a poorly coached side. It's passing the buck and putting the onus squarely on the players when it seems there's a real lack of structure.

This team you have is HIS team. Even Kevin Penny and Rhys Evans were caught on camera looking bemused by him during the game.

I'm not sure some realise just how bad we were and how close we were to relegation. That's why I am not so concerned about today. HKR will have some real worries about staying in Super League. Being at Wembley is all very nice but it could prove a big distraction ... winning games prior and after playing at Wembley can be difficult. ... and thank you for your obvious deep thought on the subject.

He made some dud signings but he's also made some good ones. I am quite happy with Penny, Sims, Clark, Hill, etc. Then you have past signings like Waterhouse, Hodgson and the like.

Only Roy and England have been let downs really. Wheeler doesn't even get a mention tbh. He never plays. The god damn biscuit.

Except today. I think(?)... Can anyone confirm?

Re: got what we deserved : Sat Aug 01, 2015 2:28 pm  

KR deserved to win and they played the game in good style, strange selection with Wheeler could have had Penny at full back or outside Monaghan, Kelly steered their pack about the pitch his kicking was spot on especially the one for Sio.

Re: got what we deserved : Sat Aug 01, 2015 3:12 pm  

I think Sandow probably looked at his mate Kelly run the show and thought this is easy I can do that ,no worries plus it's easier coming into a team that needs your talents so obviously

Re: got what we deserved : Sat Aug 01, 2015 3:22 pm  

He also needs outside backs with pace and a pack with menace. God help him over the next 2 months.
