Gutted

wat a fab ending thought it deserved a draw gutted for Cas tho cos really like Cas apart from KR lol, carry on playing like that tho and can see Cas keeping that 8th spot, only thing is Crusaders coming good now, really want it be be Cas tho Rangi had a grt game and really caused us problems felt tho that Westerman should ave gone for that goal at the end rather than kicking into touch Fab game all the same, gud luk Cas for rest of the season..

Thought Chase, Westerman and Shenton were very good for you today, especially attacking our left flank, but for a couple of poor judgement calls at the last pass you would have had at least two more. Good game though.

Would also like to say the 'lady' in the passenger seat of the blue saloon car who passed lots of fans at the crossings near the ground that shouted out a tirade of four letter obsenities at us (including small children) is a disgrace to your club and town. Glad no-one responded in kind and just waved at her.

2 busloads from Cas and a few cars ,max 150 turn out ,a few took their shirts off in the golf stand and waved them in the air .


Cas took Rovers all the way today ,they were up for this one and were very unlucky .Dobson was Joe Cool today .

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 thought Joe Cool was rubbish at kicking last minute goals to win the game?

Sammy Lloyd !!

Good comeback.

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

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.

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

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.

Halifax in the CC last year?

Yeah and look what the lead to, more heartbreak, as Far Town went over twice in the last 9 minutes. I think it's a cynical mindset I have ever since that cup semi in 99 that I always back us to lose in the last few minutes and more often then not, we do

As opposed to the 1986 Challenge Cup final where a missed conversion from Rovers proved the difference*



*I say difference, however Castleford were the only deserving winners that day.

Pity I wasn't alive to witness it

Correct, Rovers play to a game plan and we never stray from it. It's remarkable that it has been as successful as it has really.

You played some outstanding free flowing rugby which cut our makeshift backline to pieces with consumate ease in the second half and on another day you would of had 4 trys the calibre of the one Rangi Chase scored. It was really just poor finishing that cost you

You were dead !!!!!

Glad to see you have recovered

Glorious day mate,'proper rugby' local lads playing at Wembley and the right result in the end!!




Delboy66(aye of the tigers fanzine)

And I won a £1 of my sports editor, who was convinced we'd lose

Upto then we had the jinx on ya ,after then you had the jinx on us !!!!!
