Tilse was very good. Wonder if Peacock has had an influence? Tbh though I've never quite understood why some people slated him so much, he's always been solid, if a bit of a plodder. Much better tonight anyway

Maybe the last coaches orders on how he played but early days yet hope he keeps it up

Dead leg apparently, but I think he looks unfit as well tbh.

Unfit!!! He didn't look unfit when he chased and caught Swift and saved what looked a certain try.

It was refreshing to see Rovers play without Chester's restraints. Vindicates the Boards decision to sack him. Well done Poching, your stock has leaped after that performance.

Re: Saints match : Sat Feb 27, 2016 10:37 am  

Conspiracy theory. Did the players want rid of Chester. They seemed to play with a real passion last night and with a bit of luck and no Roby, you would have won.

I think saints was there for the taking but with forwards playing 6 7 and 9 and down to to interchanges was always going to be a tough task once alby went off

Terrific effort last night,if we played half as well against wakey we would have won easily.It seems the chester sacking has changed the way we play,some terrific performances last night,tilse,lawler,walker and blair especially and thought young shaw made a very promising full debut.The biggest disappointment for me was sio hardly got into the game and felt the decision to disallow shaw's"try" was the turning point,instead of going in with a 10/12 point lead would have been a big boost to us and a body blow to saints.A much improved effort though,kelly hamstring and clarkson concussion big doubts for next week.

If that's the case, can we actually name a 19 for next week? When the chips are down, they really are for us.

If Makinson had scored it then it would be hailed as one of tries of the season.

Re: Saints match : Sat Feb 27, 2016 3:10 pm  

A much better performance last night. We gave it a real go and played with passion and pride which is all you can ask. Saints strangled us in the end with the goal line drop outs and penalties. We couldn’t handle Makinson in the air and in the end spent too much time defending second half. Roby was outstanding for them.

On another day we would have got the Shaw decision which was the turning point. Tilse was a different player last night and looked like the NRL player we signed rather than the Karl Pilkington that turned up.
Hope we can back it up next week. Big ask with all the injuries

I reckon Green will get a ban for applying makeup to Travis Burns. Green will get 4 games because we are Hull KR and Burns will get £1000 of Max Factor vouchers by way of compensation and goodwill from the RFL towards cheek filler.

Assuming Clarkson goes the same way as Greenwood with his concussion and Albert Kelly's hamstring fails to heal, we are looking at a squad of 16 fit players for next week at Widnes.

Heard it on extremely good and reliable authority last night that Luauki arrives from Bradford next week, so he might get a run out in the halves for 5 minutes before he gets sent off. Deep joy.

Can't remember a season with so many disruptions and problems for one team.
