I'm not whinging although it may seem like it.

But I just didn't think we should of conceeded that many when they sounded so poor. Only listened on radio so, I don't know if they worked there tries well and wasn't anything we could of done about them.

Is that the St Helens just north of Beverley

That's a scary thought isn't it!!

it shows how much better we are, and what we were really like last season.

Looked bad - he was rolling around on the floor for a bit.



Another game we never looked like losing. Bradford were seriously poor with ball in hand. The forward battle was pretty even but we looked more confident in attack. The players did look tired at the end this week. Would be great to get Lauaki here to give Dowes and Cusack some respite.

hope Berro is okay, we need his creativity.

I wouldn't worry to much about berro, as we have houghton,lee and hodgson who can all fill the roll plus lee and houghton got plenty of experience there last season.

we are a different team with Berro, we need his creativity and experience.

Houghton is adequate cover and played well today, but Berro is sheer class. We will certainly miss him if he's out.

Correct

dont tell me berro has a serious injury, and if so how bad?

OK we won't ... no break or ligament damage.

nope only a stinger

stop smiling he is okay and will be ready for the derby game.

im not smiling hence no wink! i would like to play a fully fit hull side on the 10th, but i hate serious injurys regradeless so heres to a speedy recovery.

he should be back for next week the way agar sounds.

fair do's. a fully fit HULL FC side will be raring to go on good Friday.

and whats funny as it happenes every sodding year, rovers should be 100% too, i heard few hull and rovers fans say last week that huddersfield where shocking, but what people are forgeting is that hull had a job to do and did it well and on the other foot i havent once this season see rovers play 100% but we still get the result. this year so far both clubs have been not yet given the reckinishon that they deserve.

With hopefully a certain MC in the side

Michael Buffer???

LETS GET READY TO RUMBLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And yet we shipped 24 points against them. A bit worrying?

Definetly. Like against Hudds we are having these lapses in otherwise excellent defence and we seemily can't turn our dominance to kill the game and teams will improve as the season goes on.

However saying that providing Agar and the coaching staff can keep us improving (and its been a massive improvement on the attitude of last season IMO) then I think we have a good season in front of us.

Another excellent win - and we are some way from our best too.

It took us until round 17 last season to reach double figures for league points.

A couple of them were soft tries, one off the back of a poor decision. Agar said it was our best performance of the season against the toughest pack we've faced so far and that the team were saying how physical a game it had been. Not sure I'd agree it was our best performance but we always had a decent cushion. As I said before, I'm a bit concerned with the amount of work Dowes and Cusack are having to put in every week. Sam Moa can only be used for very short stints at the moment and Thackray is very much being (correctly) used for impact, so they're really putting in the work. Would be great if we could get Lauaki here and King back to share the work a bit.
