Rovers 24-0 and on a side note,they are on a new radio station called Hull Kingston Radio with none other than the gob$hite that is Chadwick doing commentary for them.

Re: doncaster friendly : Sun Jan 17, 2016 4:36 pm  

Last I heard we was 46-12

Re: doncaster friendly : Sun Jan 17, 2016 4:44 pm  

Finished 12-46.

At one point Huddersfield were 38-0 up against Rovers, oh for another couple of converted tries.

First half much better than the second. Some lovely individual glimpses from Lancaster, he'll be pushing for a place for sure.

Did little wrong, but Naughton offered more going forward and for me should be cover for Shaul.

Don't see what we will gain by signing Smith.

Tend to agree with this, Naughton very lively today. The physicality of our younger players is looking good, thinking about Turgut and Matongo in particular but whereas in the past we've had forwards coming through who haven't bulked up that looks like it's being addressed. Based on today and Ellis's injury I'd expect Green and Feka to make the bench against Salford with Lancaster and Naughton pushing for selection if Talanoa's injury isn't fully recovered.

I would agree with the others about Lee Smith, I don't see what he gives us over what we have, he had a couple of nice touches but he didnt exactly boss it against poor opposition, Leon Pryce did.

Not mentioned yet but other than the intercept pass Jez Litten looked tidy, good distribution.

Litten has good promise. He'll learn from the loose pass that was intercepted. There was a couple of times Feka, Whiting and Bowden got an arm free for someone to follow - Litten was maybe setting for the next play at that point. For a young kid, he held is own, especially when Donny tried roughing up towards the end when there was mostly kids out there.
