Very pleasing result.both teams took out of it what they wanted.went with mixed group of mates and the fc orientated lads Not happy with amount of youngsters on pitch and getting served up same as Castleford game.couldnt fault the effort and for me Radford has bigger fish to fry so result can be spun to suit whatever agenda you like.Heffernan Quinlan Clark Oakes caught eye.Thought Litten tried hard and pleased for his grandad who is a great guy.lots of positives and touch wood no injuries

Delighted if we've come through without injuries. And no evidence that preseason so far has been anything like the last one, I assume. Which is nice. Looking forward to watching it back.

Obviously a very, very inexperienced Hull team, with just a smattering of older heads.

looked more like 9/10 to me, good following from you, decent game imo,

I know it's hard to judge with the Hull side out and it being a friendly, but I thought you looked good, your pivots looked dangerous and worked well together (Kicking needs to be better though) and your defence was strong (Kelly aside I don't think we broke the line). Still early and a long way to go, but promising signs for Rovers with Sheens as boss.

Have to give Oakes a good run in this league.

In the end a meaningless game, but at least the team is working well together. Can't really take much else from that as Hull didn't put out an overly strong side. That stated, that's 2 friendlies they've lost now isn't it?

Glad some of the new boys got on the score sheet. If nothing else, it'll also settle some nerves. The next 2 friendlies are likely to be a tougher prospect as the closer we get to the start of the proper season, they'll want to use their senior players.

And if nothing else, we might be able to say we had won all the derbies in 2017.

Hull havent lost a game we expected to win, theyve been clear that we dont expect to be at anywhere near full strength until the Salford game. Wouldn't be surprised if there's another Derby for Houghtons testemonial, have to wait and see.

Your squad depth does not seem to be good enough for a sustained attack on a top four place if injuries strike. I think you had 9 recognised first team players on the park today. Your average age was 22 to our 23 so blaming fielding young guns as some have done hardly holds water. Radford is disappointed at they way you capitulated in the last quarter.

Altogether not a good day for FC fielding a side that at least knew each other And was a second heavy defeat. A satisfactory one for KR as a first hit out with nine debutees. We should not not get carried away as I am sure we will meet harder challenges once the league fixtures start.
