I was in the stand at that end. No try for me. Foot in touch.
The ball needed to go out the play before when Hall was out of position.

That was my take on it as well. His foot Just slid onto the line.

We lost far too much ground advantage by standing and letting them run at us at each play the ball giving them at least ten metres every time. This is an old Trinity failing that I thought we had eradicated from our game. I counted at least two occasions when HKR went the full length of the pitch in a single set. also standing in an offside position at the ptb restricted our progress far too much.

I agree with those earlier posters; failing to go for the two points contributed to our downfall. It was obvious at the beginning that tries were going to be at a premium in those conditions.

The offside was laughable.
So laughable in fact that when the touch judge told Hall to get on side he went backwards and forwards laughing about it. Why would he care. No penalty and it was slowing us down.

But equally, on their line, we didn't put one kick in the box behind to go for a repeat set or score from the Batch move.
We seemed to rush things when they were on us rather than taking a breath.
Need to learn from that but I'd expect Broughy to already know.

The leeds win and catlans win now mean nothing really.

we have lost to London AND HULL KR

2 sides who we are now joining them will be in the relegation dog fight

we are 2 points off last......

anybody else who has higher prospects for this squad is dreaming - for once our recruitment has been terrible this year.

if we stay up it will be a good year!

On Tom's disallowed try, he was convinced he had scored by the look of his remonstrations with the Touch Judge after the hooter.

I think that was about the Rovers winning try, because it looked like the Rovers player knocked it into TJ. He was staring at the touch judge in disbelief when it was given.

I think we lost on tactics and adaptability today.
We should be able to handle a team going off side.

They played well and any team with Drinkwater and McGuire steering them around are going to be difficult to beat.
They realised how the game was going and reacted accordingly. We did not.

I didn't see anyone not putting effort in. Only people making wrong decisions.
That needs to be put right but it can be put right.

I'm pretty sure our season is not over yet.

Seen some cracking games over the years in far worse conditions than today and from so called part time players.Typical English spring weather and not an excuse to play like we’ve never seen rain before .
Still don’t move up to meet attacking players and still players stood receiving the ball, I’m no coach but I thought these were the basics no matter what the weather was doing.
Having said all this we”ll go to hull and give it to em ,because we are wakey and that’s how we roll .

Maguire spent 10 in the bin and they matched us , certain players need to give themselves a good shake.
