at least he sounded ,unlike the landlord last sat

I see it differently being a Wire.

Wire was making good metres in the first half on the very few occasions there was ball in hand...
However fatigue from the first period of defensive 11 kicked in during a spell of the last 1/4 compounded with some sinful penalties whilst in possession.

Quite how Tim Sheen sees KR as being the better team, I don't know. Although credit for turning the screw in that period and making a cup tie out of it.

Hoping now we get you noisy black and white neighbours and stick 50 on them.

*You’re*

Awful game management with two in the bin.

Just shows the gulf between the top and bottom teams. A half decent team would’ve put a couple of scores on the board.

That was the defining moment of the game imo. Rovers just seemed to panic. The gaps are there, you just need to be patient and the chances will come, but they were doing some really brainless things. I was very disappointed in McGuire during that spell. A man of his experience should be able to show better composure than that.

Believe it or not I was hoping for a Rovers win. The 1980 rematch will have to wait another year.

So was I. A semi final between Hull and Rovers would have been a historic first in the CC competition having been in the last 4 on 2 previous occasions in the 80's and not being drawn against one another.

My appetite for such a fixture was rather limited.



I always want us to win but last night... I still did, but I had a sense it’d only set us up for a humiliation in the semi, or maybe on the biggest stage if we drew the Bulls or Fax. That and to a lesser the need to focus on scraping together another 4 or 5 league wins meant that defeat was met with a shrug.

I’ve got the game recorded, but I preferred to watch my recording of Toronto vs Golden State, rather than watching Rovers in real time. There’s no fun in it tbh, as Hudgell alluded to a while back. I’ll watch the tries back on HKRTV and save myself 90 minutes of familiar frustration.

I hope the Rovers players are more motivated than me, or we really are doomed.



Great game from Pascal Siakam though!

Really poor performance last night, no composure, no defencive line speed, our missed tackles amaze me, a sub unused AGAIN,
The scoreline flattered Rovers last night, Warrington did the same as we did at Anfield and put the cue on the rack and defended what they had. We just werent smart enough to make the most of it, saying that if you cant make the most of playing 11 men you dont deserve to win.
I thought Hicks had a decent game

In the radio interview, he comes close to saying Addy is rubbish, bottles it, then blames Atkin's final kick for the loss. He just can't see it. Ge has now gone more than half the season only using 3 subs. Sheens out.

Your right,warrington put 63 past you this year and 80 last year.

you see des he can post the odd sensible remark

the 2 sin bins were down to desperation on warrys part not our fault.the whole of the 1st half from the halves was poor thats what cost us the game ,better side 2nd period,dont buy the fatigue rubbish ,sheens is right for once blew it early

Thought your match last night was our season in 80 min. Shite first 50 really good last 30.Bit of luck you could have got a draw at the end.

Hull are the one team the other 3 in the bag should be wanting to avoid, and as much as I hate to say it, they can turn up for these one off game in this short format. They will never win the league under the landlord, but they’re good for a cup win. If I was to put money on anyone it would be Hull to lift the cup and I think they’d trounce wire.

Watching Saints today they look miles better than the rest. People thought the same last year but can't see them choking this time. Think they'll put big scores on in semi and final whoever they draw.

I believe they’ll choke again. Maybe not in the league, but in the cup

Suppose a lot can happen as only at halfway point of season but they look the real deal.Treble is definetly on

Is that choking or joking?

Agree.

I'm not sure he would see us as a 'big job' apart from the state we are in to avoid relegation but, Justin Morgan anybody?

It'd be a yes from me, but makes a mockery of releasing him and the downward spiral Sandercock put us in.

Why not if he wants to give us ago and does not want to much money

Something must be happening behind the scenes as I would have thought Rovers would have come out and said something by now.

Morgan's over here looking for a job...and he's been in Hull according to HDM. Cant just be coincidence can it? I'd be chuffed if he was coming back to rovers. There was a real feel good for fans when Morgan was in charge...albeit didn't end great...and was it just excitement about being in superleague? Who knows... it'd be great if he's coming back...the Sheens novelty wore off a while ago.

The thing with Morgan was that he had his favorites and stuck by them too much, Matt Cook was great for us when he got the chance but you knew once Newton or Galea were back fit they'd walk straight back in.
It'd definetly be a crowd pleaser though
