No worries here we are building nicely but thank you for the concern. I also think you are confusing Rovers playing better then expected with being dominant.

Any important stat worth knowing you lost on, for as laid back as we were still managed more line breaks and chances.

A team upping there game in a derby, who would have thought it, let's see if they can play like that the next few games.

Let's remember Rovers won 2/3 derbies last year and were still nearly relegated.

It was a good game, Rovers lost but shouldn't be to downhearted by the performance. Hull will make top 4 I reckon, but KR should avoid relegation, but bottom 4 for them is more than likely with so many new players.

Diverting from facts to diatribe makes you look even more foolish. What is even funnier is the fact you put the word “princess” at the end of your sentence in a veiled attempt to increase your credibility by playing the mysogynstic card.

Nothing at all to be worried about. We weren't at our best and still won by a couple of scores. There is a lot more improvement on that game to come from Hull than there is Rovers.

Diddums, at least Craig has a go at talking about Rugby. Enjoy your all conquering attacking Rugby that gets you 16 points

All conquering attacking rugby.....

HDM

Clean breaks

FC made twice as many clean breaks as their rivals, shared out between Griffin, Connor (both three) and Savelio (two).

Minikin made two clean breaks for Rovers, with Crooks and Minchella each breaking FC's defensive line once.


proves your point Mr Marrow!

Most of those breaks came last 20 after Quinlan left injured and that rebound penalty kick. Genuinely felt KR had the better chances 1st half and early 2nd. Then the size and speed told particularly Griffin. Lack of quality at HB really hurt us. Brierley hardly had the ball and Ellis whist trying hard isn't the answer. It's an 80 min game and Hull stuck in there and eventually got the job done.A fully English pack only 3 Imports in 17 gives us bit of hope and pride but yes I'd rather have the 2 competion points.

The nationality of players means nothing, Smith has assembled a squad on a shoestring and is to be applauded for what they have achieved so far. A win against Wakefield and a gutsy effort against Hull, it is a long season ahead for both teams in Hull.

I agree mostly and was a fair post. It just seems convenient players nationality means nothing suddenly? When we had Lovegrove and Crusaders dispensation cast offs Hull fans very vocal about HK Aussies. In years passed when FC turned out lots of young English players they certainly made a point of shouting about doing so. Now you have 8 or 10 overseas it's irrelevant?

It has never been relevant to me, i can't speak for any other FC fans.

If KR had the money you would have more overseas players.
