a mixed reaction which is to be expected, blair seems to be far better when involved in play ,the game can sometimes pass him by in the pack,we will have a better idea after Saturdays visit to leigh as to our promotion chances,weve only got lunt who can unlock a defence at the moment , our defence will have to be cock on and hope leigh have a off day to win on current form I fear, COYR

Don't live in the area so having wait to watch on hullkr.tv. Was it as bad as the result suggests? Any positives to take?

The major positive for me was how Rovers conjured up passion and character in the final quarter. It's been a long time coming.

Thanks guys. Fully agree that last years team would not have grinded it out and come back to win. Suppose the Catalan/London game proved it won't be easy. Huge game next week, come on Rovers!

Don't talk daft.....it's surprise btw . Remember, All the the Dull fc fans want you to win next week because we licked em at their place.

I am a Hull fan and I would like Leigh to win.

I can get over the defeat to Leigh just by looking at the league table and my Wembley ticket.

Or you are fitter as you are full time?

I know you got beat by Leigh last year but how did you get on against the 3 other championship teams?

Any need for insults?

Can't have any debate on here with adults who act 5 years old.

I actually didn't at the time but have just looked now, 3 easy wins against teams that finished 2nd-4th in the championship.

So you agree about it was more to do with our fitness than passion?

Fitness played a role but not as much as passion and character. You can be the fittest team/athlete but if you don't have fire in your belly what good is fitness?

Fair point, will need it against Leigh, who will really be up for it.

Question for Rovers fans who are able to have discussion about Rugby, should Sheens have used one of your quota spots to sign a halfback rather than a winger or impact prop?
