Saints Scrap Hard to Pip the Robins : Sat Feb 27, 2016 5:00 pm  

Saints Scrap Hard to Pip the Robins Two sides, who've not had the best of starts to 2016, clashed at the KC Lightstream Stadium in East Hull as a Hull KR side, under the temporary coaching of Willie Poching, took on Kieron Cunninghams' St Helens. The Robins and Chris Chester parted company after last weekends loss to Wakefield Wildcats, their seventh consecutive Super League loss, and Poching stepped up as caretaker coach. Saints have lost their last two including the shock loss at Salford Red Devils and the 38-12 loss to the Sydney Roosters last Friday. Both sides had points to prove, and seasons in need of a kick-start. READ MORE ON THIS STORY...

This is a poor report by anybodies standards. No mention of KR having a perfectly good try disallowed by the video ref. No mention of Saints equalizing with a huge forward pass then going in front despite knocking on at the platy of the ball similar to Wigan against Salford.
No mention of the penalty count in the second half which ruined the spectacle of the game, officiating the way that Bentham did puts me off rugby league all together!!

Or Hull KR scoring off at least one forwards pass, Hull KR getting away with ripping the ball out at the tackle. etc etc etc.

Not saying Saints were great or Hull KR did not play well, but there were decision that went both ways.
