So three sin binnings so far....one each for fighting and the third to Dave Hodgson for a professional foul in holding down Lineham. Very close game so far.
 
Rovers have so much desire in this game. We know we've been the better team at the MM weekend but that was taken from us, we beat wigan except the officials saw it another way.

Today is payback! Just hope we don't run out of steam as we are bossing Craven Park!
 
Pretty disappointing second half and a poor game overall. Lots of key Rovers players for me just didn't turn up. Dobbo and Burns were pretty anonymous, Burns in particular was terrible and all too easily wound up and deserved his sin binning at the end aswell. When it doesn't go well, he does tend to throw his toys out of the pram.

Hope Greg isn't badly injured, Lovegrove was on the teamsheet and didn't end up playing which was odd.

Bad defence, lost us the game.
 
Tbh the 3 quick tries from Hull killed the game. The supporters went quiet and the team seemed to drop their heads. We were far more the adventurous team and it was that that gifted a couple of the tries when the passes where intercepted.

I missed why Lovegrove was missing but certainly hope Eden isn't going to be out for the remainder of the season.
 
Yesterday was disappointing I couldn't believe it and whoever they had in charge of the score at odsal yesterday needs there eyes testing and a quick basic maths test! Elliot Whitehead had his usual stick purely down to his manner of which he left the club however a gentle gloating clap at the end got to us.

Yesterdays ref (Bantham) was absolutely shocking! I'm not saying this because we lost he was actually shocking yesterday I couldn't believe it :(

L'estrange took a massssssssive beating all game cheeky whack in the face, few shoulders and in the end lifted off the pitch! only one point off I guess but its not enough.

Couldn't agree more about the Bradford game. Bentham gave us nothing, but, to be far we should have killed off the game in the first half.

Definitely, I'm surprised Sammut didn't pull anything off he didn't really try when he got put on I take it you we're there too? :P

I don't feel Kearney really makes an effort at beginning of the season he was spot on like he doesn't seem to do anything unless its handed to him, Purtell's proper come out recently deserved man of the match for sure.

I did join in with the CHEAT CHEAT CHEAT chant and Bentham did look disappointed as he walked in through the dug out.
 
Im normally below the barmy army tend to stand just where they come out.

Cat game was the only time I turned up major early, my mates missus is quite strict so had to sneak a cheeky few since omar put the prices down, rude not to!
 
Anyone watching this Wire Widnes game? Its a cracker! Widnes down to 12 and beating Wire and looking good for their lead too. Exciting game. Wire are by no means out of it and you wouldn't bet against them coming back, but all credit to Widnes so far.

Me too, I'm always eternally hopeful but the realistic side of me feels we are going to get our pants pulled down!

That's one way of putting it. Horrendous injury list though. Not to mention the long termers like O'Hara who probably won't even play for us this season. What a disappointing waste of the salary cap. Its likely to be quite a second string side against Leeds.

This has been a brilliant game tonight though, I suppose it means that anybody can beat anybody else if you are on your game, so there is hope for us yet!
