Too many brain farts tonight with brown and Eden, watching through my fingers! We got pipped by 6 points last season and I'm expecting it to be the same this year as we look too dodgy!

It was 10 IIRC.

Can see where you are coming from but disagree slightly, think this team has a lot more points in it and thus far looks a more clinical outfit in attack to get them extra points. IMO obviously

Ah lovely, even worse then!

Yeah it is 5 goals missed because he kicked a penalty if you remember.

Edit-After looking it up it was actually 4 missed sorry.

Haha no bother still bad.

I have to say I have never seen a try scored by a defender before.

brown only made one mistake really and he nearly pulled off a try saving tackle on dixon and scored a hat trick what game was you watching

If this team learn how to defend has well has attack we will win every thing but i doubt they will but looking good for top 8

We play like we did last night and Bradford will put the cleaners through us. I never expect to win at Odsal.

I thnk wel beat the bulls

People felt we'd slip up against London and we came through okay. We had a 26 point turnaround at London from the last game of 2012 so lets be positive

No they won't.

We had a mad 10 mins and the HOME team scored twice. After that we went back to the effective 'rinse and repeat' tactics and cruised home.
Remember the second half was 16-12 to the home side. The same side that stuck 38 on Salford.
Every team will get a purple patch and we made 2 mistakes and London still needed 2 60-40 VR decisions to confirm them and one of them looks like EDEN scores it.
On another day a defender doesn't score against his own team and Brown does enough to stop fingertip control.
Plus on another day we would be 36-6 up at HT as Dobbo's kicking would be far better as is the norm.

It would seem that we have been so bad recently that folks (Me included most of the time) see more negativity then there actually is sometimes.

You wouldn't fancy our chances against Wath Brow Under Elevens you miserable old sod.



No chance with SirGlassTotallyEmpty.

London gifted us some points and they looked pretty raw, but we took advantage which is all you can do.
Colbon's hit on Brown - was that not a bit of a shoulder charge? Didn't use his arms at all.
The defensive structures looked okay, albeit London don't look brilliant, but we still tend towards brain explosions. Good result and decent performance overall though.
Eddie's 'will it be home comforts for London or travel sickness for Hull KR?' felt like a bad omen.

As long as we hold onto the leads then I'm happy for a couple of soft tries look what we did against wire it proves we can tackle, big month for us march we cud win all the games which just proves the players do want sandercock as they're coach

I was watching the one where he was very dodgy under the high ball and made a stupid mistake to cost us a try but I did think he played very well considering it was his 2nd game at superleague level for a long while

That's what I think still let in some cheap tries but gladly it's not on sky next weekend so can maybe play better! Still think they'll pip us by 6-10! Hate going to odsal or whatever it's called now!

It's just the defence that worries me still! Conceding 22 points against the 3rd worst team in the league is still abit dodgy but i don't want to be to critical haha! At least it's a won game that we lost in the corresponding fixture last year!

46-42 sounds about the right score for this one . Who will win.... God knows

A good job your lot turned up yesterday or the ground would have been almost empty. They obviously won't return the compliment at Craven Park.

Wigan conceded 18 at home to London and you wouldn't call Wigan dodgy

. Lets look at this as a solid result and move on to the next one.

Good first half, we took our foot of the gas 2nd half again, but at least this time we managed to get a grip of the game for a change
Alex Brown was great, I'm not gonna fault him for Baileys try, 9 times out of
10 that kick goes into touch.
Dobson and Burns did well together again,
Big Patersons gonna be a real handful this season too
Carlile did reasonably well playing the full 80.

Is Lovegrove carrying an injury? Seems to be off the pace in the last 2 games.

A bit of continuity in the team, a fair penalty count and a bit of luck and we are starting to see the fruits even though the team is very much a work in progress.

The players are starting to appreciate that if they are patient, they will get their fair share of the ball and then we have some genuine strike threat to hurt teams (whether they are at the top or the bottom of the table).

Burns looks to be a top class signing; always takes the right option, executes the option perfectly, a big talker, organises our right edge in defence and attack. His consistency throughout his performances demonstrates why he was a first choice NRL half-back for several years.

With more players to come back into contention we'll see more competition for places which should improve our performances as we go along.

I'm happy about the direction things are going in the short, medium and long term.

Burns - oh yes, hopefully will kick on. Although I hope he can keep his cool. Looked like they tried to get under his skin a bit and he appeared keen on the confrontation. That might be what he's all about, but it wasn't worth while entertaining. He comes with a bit of a reputation so no doubt the refs will be aware of this. Don't give them an excuse to penalise him (ala Cockayne).

The attacking trio of Burns/Dobson/Eden looks very threatening. Add Patterson/Mika to the mix opposition defences have a lot to contend with, before worrying about Disco Dave and Brown/Caro etc. As Sky commentary said, we will score points if given the chance. If we can sort our defence out, who knows.

As for the game. I'm kinda agreeing with Stan. I didn't think we were at the races, just London were very poor. But that being said, Salford were very poor and we managed to lose that game - so let's rejoice in the fact we won. Bradford will represent a different challenge and we'll know more about our development/improvement next week.

Dobson. Another controlled performance from our star man. He general tactical kicking has been off (for me) recently. Last two games, he's been spot on. His goal kicking too, hasn't been (imo) good this/last season. It's hard to be critical of someone failing to convert from the touchline but as we've seen - he can do it, so let's hope his form from a few years ago returns. The further up the table we aim, the more important each penalty/conversion will become.

If our coach coped a lot of the stick for recent defeats, then let's give him credit for the last two performances. Tackling/discipline/tactics all much improved.

It's a start, and nothing more.
