Most consecutive number of away wins in Super League : Wed Jun 17, 2009 3:02 pm  

A win against Bradford at the weekend will see us break Bradford's record of 15 consecutive away wins in the Superleague era.

What in your opinions are the reasons behind our continued success on opposition turf this season?

It's a funny one isn't it. I think a lot of the time we lose games, we beat ourselves (Bulls at home being a prime example) - perhaps playing away from home removes a layer of complacency that can creep in at KR?

Aren't they neutral rather than away?

Surely an away game is at the home ground of the opposition.

...or a game "away" from home.

So in a cup final both teams are the away team?

I think its a lack of pressure away. our one fault is the pressure can, on occasion get to us. 2 GF's are proof of this. As had been said we lost to bradford, they didn't beat us. We try to play to fancy a game sometimes at home when basic rugby would be fine.
I suppose we could have the option of boring rugby and probably win nearly every match, or a more entertaining brand and lose the occasional game.

I think it's more to do with us having easier away games at this stage.
