I see it differently being a Wire.

Wire was making good metres in the first half on the very few occasions there was ball in hand...
However fatigue from the first period of defensive 11 kicked in during a spell of the last 1/4 compounded with some sinful penalties whilst in possession.

Quite how Tim Sheen sees KR as being the better team, I don't know. Although credit for turning the screw in that period and making a cup tie out of it.

Hoping now we get you noisy black and white neighbours and stick 50 on them.

Awful game management with two in the bin.

Just shows the gulf between the top and bottom teams. A half decent team would’ve put a couple of scores on the board.

That was the defining moment of the game imo. Rovers just seemed to panic. The gaps are there, you just need to be patient and the chances will come, but they were doing some really brainless things. I was very disappointed in McGuire during that spell. A man of his experience should be able to show better composure than that.

Believe it or not I was hoping for a Rovers win. The 1980 rematch will have to wait another year.

So was I. A semi final between Hull and Rovers would have been a historic first in the CC competition having been in the last 4 on 2 previous occasions in the 80's and not being drawn against one another.

My appetite for such a fixture was rather limited.

I always want us to win but last night... I still did, but I had a sense it’d only set us up for a humiliation in the semi, or maybe on the biggest stage if we drew the Bulls or Fax. That and to a lesser the need to focus on scraping together another 4 or 5 league wins meant that defeat was met with a shrug.

I’ve got the game recorded, but I preferred to watch my recording of Toronto vs Golden State, rather than watching Rovers in real time. There’s no fun in it tbh, as Hudgell alluded to a while back. I’ll watch the tries back on HKRTV and save myself 90 minutes of familiar frustration.

I hope the Rovers players are more motivated than me, or we really are doomed.

Great game from Pascal Siakam though!
