It's all going right at the minute and confidence is high.

Let's hope the week off isn't a hindrance

I was sure I was at t Gapharm tonight, must have just been my imagination.

So was Tetley!

Seemed fairly sober before the game but absolutely wasted by half time!

My that lad can cut a rug...

Great win by Rovers but even better I got the score difference (25/1), and the 1st and last try scorer (11s & 16s). Get in lol!

Don't most players acknowledge their fans at the end of the game? Especially when they win?

Having said that, class performance from Dobson, completely outplayed Brough. Brough has been the better No 7 over the season, but carry on like that and Dobson will have overtaken him by then end.

With regards top 4/6, don't get too carried away, it's only three games and two of those could have gone either way. Your certainly a different team to earlier in the season though. We won't be quite as confident facing you later in the season!

As could the games against Cas and Saints earlier in the season.

No getting carried away here, my feet are lower than Fred West's hobbies.

Oh, and its 4 on the spin now, not 3

It's double daunting a week on Friday

Let's not get bogged down in that, all teams can say the should/could have won games across a season, I was simply referring to your run at the moment.

As an outsider it seems those two unexpected victories have given you some belief and your now playing to your potential and have put that shaky start behind you. The main thing I've noticed is the fitness of your squad, especially towards the end of games, at the start of the season you were awful in the last 20 minutes, the derby game especially, but you seem to have turned that around and are able to finish the stronger.

I think if you keep the current performances/belief up you'll have a successful end to the season, we on the other hand are doing it in reverse and are slowly declining. You'll pass us on your climb up the table and I'm not overly confident we'll catch you back up.

Welcome back.
We've missed you.

It's nothing to do with extra fitness, it's the fact out ball control and discipline is a million times better so we aren't knackering ourselves out defending all the time

Quite possibly, you know far more about your team than I do, it was just an observation made on the few occasions I saw you play earlier in the season.

I was trying to be complimentary, after being impressed with your display last night, hence saying your now playing to your full potential...etc. I wasn't trying to cause a debate/have a go.

Your probably used to Hull fans coming on here trying to wind people up, that really wasn't my intention and sorry if it came across that way.

Chance of a play off re-match, this time at MS3CP?

It's certainly a possibility, I'd expect us both to be in the 8. Given how tight it is though I think either of us could finish anywhere from 4th-8th.

It would be nice to pay you back for that spanking at the KC in the play-offs, you destroyed us that day!

Didn't come across that way to me, I've enjoyed reading your posts.

I think MrPhilb is right though, we dropped so much ball, kicked so poorly and gave away so many penalties that we were spending masses of time defending our line.

That's mentally as well as physically draining leading to blow out's in the last twenty.

We're a long way from the finished articel, but we are playing with confidence and belief as a team. About half way through the first half of the MM game I noted how together our players were and I knew that we'd at least give it a good shot.

I fully expect us to have a dip, I thought at the beggining of the season that we'd scrape into the play offs, sixth is now perhaps possible.

Still a transitional season, no need to get over excited, but I'll enjoy nights like last night immensley.

Apologies Frepney Street, I must be wrong. I could've sworn you were someone else.
I've obviously got mixed up, sorry about that. Your opinions on AP, sentence structure, your first post and the last post from the other guy been only one day apart - literally had me convinced.

I'm sure the other guy will return now though.
Terrific.

Moving on, great win. We actually looked pretty good. Hudds were surprisingly really poor – esp defending.
Hope the week off doesn’t curtail this run of form we’re getting into.
Half way through the daunting period of Wire/Hudds/Catalans/Saints and we’re doing reet.
Catalans (h) & Saints (a) – not easy at all, but @ home we’re usually a match for anyone/away another story.

Still, let’s not get carried away we’re only 7th.

I think Frep will be missing in action until we lose 3 on the spin, then he will be back faster than you can say "chimp".

I noticed that too, it had me worried before you even started the come back, it's clear that togetherness can win games and twice in the last 3 games we've thrown away winning leads because we just don't have it.



I had you down for 8th at the start of the season, that dropped after your poor start but everything seems to have clicked for you now and given how tight it is up there, I don't see any reason for you not to get top 6.

I like to see both our clubs up there competing (as long as we finish slightly higher!).

Luckily I received Costello payment protection insurance from you.

No worries, I'm aware we have a contingent of posters who come on here to wind you up, I assure you I'm not one of them.

I just came here for some sensible rugby chat and to avoid our board where most posters are on suicide watch after Sunday!

HKR TV works fine in China. Cannot believe I missed what sounded like a cracking match. Hoping the game is available to watch tomorrow.

I don't think it will be due to it being on Sky. Hull KR aren't allowed to show the highlights till much later in the week and full game not till even longer after that.

Better entertain myself with a bit of wendyball until it is on. Not good for getting up for work. The games kick off at 12pm
