Not playing because weather is too cold etc isn't covered on medical either.

Both our tries came from Sezer kicks. We did not get into their end enough to give halves the opportunities that KR had.

Not saying he was brilliant but he was one of our better players for mine

So were just down to giving injured players abuse now?

Re: SL RD 7 | Hull KR (A) : Sat Apr 01, 2023 4:12 pm  

I just think a lot of fans are getting frustrated with how many players seem in and out of the team on long bans,injuries or etc as soon as they get back on the pitch.
Especially players who have had it repeatedly .

No injured player should get abuse,of course not. But that frustration will be aimed somewhere and some targets are easier than others.

We took fusi when he had hardly played in two years. Fairly obvious he isn’t the kind of player who can play with a knock. That is just how some players are built.
We should support him, not say right go back to Aus. What sort of message does that send

We were poor last night and only lost by 8 points.
KR are a very average side so are we.
We`ve had 3 decent halves in 14 which clearly isn`t good enough.
2 halfbacks who occasionally play well but by and large are invisible.
Forwards who should (on paper) e good enough to bully a lot of teams but don`t.
A hooker who for me is a great back up hooker but we need better.
And I totally agree with the poster saying Newman, Austin and Bentley need to stop arguing with the ref and blaming other players when things don`t go right and start putting their money where their mouth is.
Newman is or could be an exceptional talent but needs to stop listening to his own hype and get on with showing what he can do.
Olpherts, Hooley and Roberts nowhere good enough yet like I`ve said before.
I reckon MacDonald will play wing with Martin and Newman centre and maybe give Tindall the other spot on the wing against Huddersfield.

Re: SL RD 7 | Hull KR (A) : Sat Apr 01, 2023 4:49 pm  

Myler, Tindall, Newman, Martin, MacDonald for back 5 and Holroyd, O’Connor, Oledski, Tetevano, McDonnell, Smith for me. Sangare, Walters, Lisone, Johnson bench.

not sure the half backs can do anything when the forwards are so passive or beaten. 2nd half v cats when the pack dominated they looked good enough

I’m not sure our pack was dominated against HKR; the backs kept making silly errors and sacrificing the field position.

Holroyd, Smith have been in good form all year and we have four decent props on rotation for the first time in lots of years…

We need to get Tet wider where he is much more effective and I think we’re okay up front. When we let him go we might want a decent hooker or maybe one more very direct second row.

The pack wasn’t dominated last night
