He's very anti-Hull. Though you'd expect him to be an expert on poor attacks given he's a London fan (AFAIK).

It wasn't intense in the first half, it was just two teams unable to break the others defence, mainly down to poor attack than excellent defence.
The Wigan v Warrington or Leeds v Manly game was intense, as enjoyable as a close game like the Hull v Hull KR game was, it wasn't intense.

Just over 20k I think was the figure announced at the game.

Good crowd.

Looking forward to watching all these games after work.

I thought it was a good match, great defending in the first half and Hull FC were too good in the second half. Good crowd, big hits, good tries, just can't win sometimes with people on the VT.

I'd agree with the OP - it was dull for the most part; Yeaman's try was the result of a nice period of play, but that was about it.

good old fashioned derby! full bloodied, two teams desperate not to concede in the first half, nerves, then the second half fc turned the screw! watching fubars dull rugby every week it must be rubbing off on your views of other matches!
