I'm not a lover of friendly matches, for the reason see today's result, not sure how much it is as a pointer to Fax but it's a runout and probably about it though as I said above it doesn't appear to show Rovers strength in depth. Though as Rich points out when the season is underway who knows what will happen to our squad and we may need some assistance at times.

Perhaps the reeeervas will need a couple of our Fringe players?

Quote from Hessle Rover Hull KR fan on their forum 'Too few first teamers today. I hope Chester bloods the whole first team for the next two friendlies. Knowing how undercooked we were last year.'
Trial matches are good for the coaching team to have a look at players and combinations and assess fitness levels and for the players to get back into full blown contact etc. That's it really and I wouldn't read too much into the result to be honest as this stage. Looks like we are on the right track though. Winning breads confidence and hopefully some feelgood factor around the club. Looking forward to the Huddersfield game.

40-16. So if these are the fringe players would we want any on DR?

No. At a push I would take Welham if he couldnt get in their team but on todays performance we have no problem in the centre. We know what we are getting from Tyrer and Heaton was good in the first half and Taylor had an excellent game.

Under 19's or not that is a decent result. You would expect it to take a few weeks for us to blow off the cob webs especially with all the new players so 40+ points is a good effort in my book.

Can someone who went today give us a run down of the performances?
