Great performance and I think the game turned when Brandon Moore was brought back after his break.
for obstruction I think,
and they then went down our end and eventually scored

Just one of many 50/50's that didnt go our way and then a few minutes later KR did the same and play was allowed to continue. Without the homer I think we would have just snook that.

A tremendous performance by Fax and one where you really cant pick out any one thing we could do a lot better, maybe the only thing is discipline but the reality is that penalty count could have been a lot more even on another day than the lopsided way it finished.

Our defence is superb and it showed time and time again why it is the best in the championship and to have a full time team with SL aspirations on the back foot for most of the game given the relative budgets of both teams is a massive credit to the players and coaching staff. Theres a lot to be said for team spirit I just wish we didnt wait so long this season before showing it because you get the feeling in this form we could have challenged for 2nd in the league.

Appreciate sometimes fans can get a bit biased in their views, but this is simply not true. KR battered your guys line for the last 25 minutes and your goal line D was simply outstanding. But for the majority of the second half you were hanging on a little bit. This is taking nothing away from Fax as i think they are the best championship team i have seen this year ( after seeing every game). The Call for the obstruction was correct it was blatant and your guy could have easily been binned for the shoulder charge on scruton which caused the melee, so it's definetely swigs and roundabouts as a couple of times you could of got calls you didn't.

Good Luck rest of the year - we'd really appreciate you turning widnes over next week!!

Pretty fair in cold light of day,i did think we went into game management mode 10/15 mins too early,which made the outcome a tad inevitable.Thought the gamebreaker was when Tyrer hammered Ellis and they scored on next play while we were still back slapping the hit.

Actually think the handbags after Scruton was hit without the ball was the turning point, KR stepped a gear or so - seemed to finally put some fire in our bellies.....

Great game And well done lads. I do have a gripe about the reporting of the game though. Nearly all the reports say the same thing Fax nearly cause first upset of the qualifiers' ect. Why would it have been an upset. The papers report it as if Hull KR are a super league side they are not. We pushed them all the way if the first game of the season and beat them 2 weeks ago. Why would have been an upset if we had won. May be I'm being over sensitive towards my club but KR are a championship side at the moment.
It was the same for the Bulls. They were always touted as the unfortunate SL side in the Champ and we know how that turned out. I have nothing against KR just my grumbling at the reporting of a top game

I would assume the comparative fortune we have spent?

I think if we could get half the value for money you have achieved we would b looking a lot healthier for promotion. Unfortunately we have a very deep, yet average squad.

It wasn't a shock that it was a hard game. U have been the form team for the seasons end.
