Hope Vella's injury's not too bad. Medial knee ligament damage according to Morgan - will miss the Leeds game.

Could be out for a while then. Be a big loss for you.

Great defence from your lads and you seemed to take all the opportunities you were given. Moral victory for HKR today I thought.

If he's torn it he will be out for months not weeks, if its a strain then he should be back in 2-3 weeks may even be fit next week if its only a slight strain. Hope he's OK, he's a great player to watch and I think he's a very important player for you. How did Ben C go? Know he was subbing, what position did he come on at?

Overall, I believe that we can look on our performance as a better one than you guys (no offence). But if KR can defend like they did all season then they will be a very difficult team to beat.

Pretty much sums it up, cheers.

Though with a bit more luck and better finishing we could have been well ahead. Won't go into some of the crazy decisions by Thaler... the Fox knock on - barmy!

The defence was solid, I think the point was the least we deserved.

According to radio Leeds Hull KR had a perfectly good try chalked off, the ref gave an invisible knock on it stated. Bulls will have been lucky. How did our lazy sod play Ben Jefferies?

Welham knocked it back and Colbon touched down, can't see how he gave a knock on.

Jefferies went alright.

Sounded like a brave performance to defend on your own line as much as you did, however sounds like you were well outplayed. You will need to up your game against Leeds.

Well they weren't.

Rovers had better chances despite being tonked in the penalty count, field position and possession and you can add to that the loss of Vella after 15 mins. They also had a perfectly good try chalked off. Last season under those circumstances they would have been soundly beaten.

Defensively they were superb and were always a threat with ball in hand. They only real negative was they coughed up the ball too many times and put themselves under pressure.

we played well, except we committed too many errors.
was an exciting specticle and i was happy with a point.
