Brough done his ACL? Guess we'll get that change at HB, and if true Brough will unlikely play again.

If that is true then that’s terrible news for the man, and a terrible way to end an excellent career. Though like with Johnstone and Arona contingency plans will have to be made

That’s what Chessy says.

He actually got injured in the first half, but played on and only came off in the second half

Thought it might be difficult to play on if ACL gone!!

If that’s true we can’t use broughy as an excuse anymore ,will have to go with Hampshire and miller Or could we bring back escare on loan as I see he didn’t feature for Wigan again

Letting tries in for fun wasn’t so bad when we were also scoring them for fun.

Sad news about Brough.

We need to go get a replacement. Hampshire is only a temporary fix for me.

Re: Kr squad : Fri Jan 31, 2020 11:35 pm  

Feel sorry for Brough and hope he is ok.
However, that "performance" was disgraceful and in so many ways was a lot like our opener at London last season.
KR treated it like a cup final and while they were less than good, Trinity were absolutely shocking and without being too disrespectful to KR, who were very good value for the win, we were just garbage.
We looked under prepared, lacking in cohesion and utterly bereft of attacking options and ZERO ball control.
I'm sorry and I know it's round 1 but, that was shocking.

Well done KR, who knew how to beat poor opposition.

Not sure what purpose the training camp in Spain served after seeing that. Although going by instagram they got some good sight-seeing in and their beach volleyball has come on a treat.

Re: Kr squad : Fri Jan 31, 2020 11:43 pm  

That was worse than any performance last year and I wish I was joking. Hull KR were poor and they won by 20 points so what exactly does that make our performance?

There's a real mentality issue as a collective. No game management. Last tackle plays are non existent, or on the rare occasion we try to do something, they are executed poorly. That has been for the last 7 months. Some of the tries were embarrassing to concede. Discipline was still poor and it was the most amount of knock ons I have seen from a team in a single game. That squad of players as individuals are far better than that showing but as a unit it looked worrying. I'm not going to pick individuals out as it was the first game of the season. I'm worried.

Feel for Broughy if confirmed, not a good way for him to have to bow out.

Disagree about bringing in a replacement at this point though. Hampshire deserves a chance to stake his claim at halfback first.

Chesters usual answer to the tough times is always to bring in another player. Maybe he should try doing some coaching and improve the players he already has and the systems they use instead. The talent is already in this squad, he needs to find it.

I agree the performance was a shocker. We actually started the brighter of the two teams but once they scored they always seemed to keep us at arms length, despite as you say Hull KR not being that good themselves. They gave us enough chances and we either gave them the ball straight back or we completely toothless with the ball. And the less said about the edge defence the better. Well and truly out-enthused. Well and truly disheartening.

Sums it up perfectly for me... I knew the omens were bad when my car started playing up as soon as we got on the motorway meaning we then had to drive back into Wakefield and then 5 of us got in daughter no 2's 10 year old Vauxhall Corsa and just managed to get to Hull with 10 minutes to spare.
So with the cost of the tickets, another tank of petrol, plus parking...tonight has cost me well over £100 only for the guys to put in an abject performance like that.....CAN I HAVE A REFUND PLEASE ?????

And tomorrow I will have the hassle of contacting Ford for them to hopefully fix my car under warranty otherwise I am going to be seriously out of pocket
