Taylor went head hunting after Tickles whack. Shrek has a tendency to do that but hasn't connected yet but when he does someone will get hurt Houghton put in a few cheap shots as well.Jewitt and Scruton had a few nasty ones as well but it was a derby and for once we didn't let them bully us, which has been the basis of them beating us in recent years.Will watch it back but post, game I felt we should have won by few more?

[quote="craig hkr"]That little snot Harris dived as well trying to get Oakes binned. But our discipline was poor 2nd half but had to defend a hell of a lot after Blair gobbed off.[/quote]



Harris thinks he’s a lot better than he actually is loved it when he knocked on

They have bullied us in recent games but Blair’s early chase down on shaul set the tone and Jewitt and Scruton really got stuck in legally some of the time

I don’t know if you know but they have had some injuries I’m sure somebody mentioned it

Amazing win given the quantity and quality of Rovers players unavailable. McGuire is wondering if he will ever play in a derby game.

A strong Hull team were found wanting they got back into the game because of a try that should have been disallowed and Maurice Blair getting sin binned for complaining about it.

The diagonal kick to the big winger is pretty much all they had to offer but it worked like it has so many times before. Other than that they had little to worry a makeshift Rovers team.

Very satisfying that such a scratch Rovers team can beat a strong Hull FC line up but we must now prepare for more important matters.

Yep agree bobness. They only seem to be able to score of kicks, must be the worst attacking side in the league by far with ball going through hands.

we are in a hole atm, be glad when the season finishes, imo a few out on the field shouldn't be, I know you laugh about it but injuries have done us this year, it happens in sport and you was gonna win one sooner or later, again best team won,

Genuine question - why are people saying Scruton and Jewitt might be up before the disciplinary? Apart from a deep seated distrust of its judgements obviously!

Scruton’s shoulder charge was a comically obvious penalty - but it was nowhere near the head. Jewitt?
If they do them, then they’ll probably do Mulhern for his clearly accidental awkward tackle in the first half, just to be sure. I Shouldn’t give them ideas! Just because i’m paranoid...

Gutsy performance from a scratch team in a frantic game. Nice to get the win and the next couple of weeks prep off the back of it will be crucial. They all looked knackered at the end, but hopefully no serious injuries.
