Heavens to murgatroyd!

Rugby is getting too soft as it is.

The Manu decision was the right decision. Penalty, no report. Get on with it.

You're not Stevo so stop banging on about refs.

A troll? Manu lined him up and flattened him. Straight red card for an attack to the head. Incompetence from Bentham to not even have it reviewed. Some great legal hits throughout the game.

Are we talking about where the HKR player stepped inside, and put Manu on the wrong foot.

I'm a troll. Yes.

You're simple.

Out of curiosity, who do you support?

Good to see Rovers win the "chav city" derby. The scoreline flattered hull tonight, they were never really in that game. Their fans cried like babies when they had to play with 12 men last week but even with 14 men (including bentham) they didn't look much better. Well done Rovers, with a kicking game as good as theirs they're always in with a chance.

Jesus we were ###### tonight. Well played to Rovers, tactically perfect display tonight.
The only shining light is once again tonight Tom Briscoe just looked like superstar material again this week.

Watch it again, Manu was not wrong footed at all. He is tracking Dobson and sees the inside drop off. He clearly looks at Cockayne,plants his left foot and changes direction to cover the angle of Cocakyne's run. Manu was not off balance, he simply put in a very poor attempt at a tackle that was high and dangerous. Very poor from Bentham, who puts an unseen allegation of biting on report, but not such a blatant head shot?? Red card for a careless and dangerous attack to the head.

How on earth can the Lauaki tackle and the Manu one be considered no different by the referee??

You do know Willie Manu plays for Hull FC don't you?

Look. He didn't deserve to be sent off.

I'm a troll and you're really boring.

Good night sir.

A Hull FC fan who is simple, but not that thick, though really boring moans that the referee not sending off a Hull FC player cost his team the game
Yes you are right. There was no difference at all in what Manu and Lauaki did.

That sums it up pretty well, Hull KR showed great enthusiasm throughout where as FC showed virtually none. FC's organisation was also appalling, the Horne/Long halfback pairing couldn't have gone much worse, maybe Horne got flustered by the big hits they put on him early on. Long was off the pace completely, with all his playoff experience I would've expected better than that. After this was dubbed as the biggest Hull derby for over twenty years it turned out to be a bit disappointing really. Congratulations to Hull KR though, no doubt that they deserved that result.

Absolute rubbish. Manu was caught by the step and stuck his arm out but almost straight away tried to pull it back knowing what was going to happen. Watch it again, when he hit Cockayne, he was already trying to pull away from the hit.

I agree with your assessment that we were never in the game. Shame it's overshadowed by your bitterness about last week shining through.

Spot on Pete. We got beat by a good team tonight. Agar simply has to go. Individually, our players should be better but as a team, we can't compete with anybody. Shame Kath and Rule thought Dobson not worth signing. He looks good to me.

[Allan Marsden]

I am a Wigan fan and thought Manu should have been sent off.

I've done just that as there seems to be a bit of a kerfuffle about it.

You're talking out of your backside. Bentham got it spot on.

Horne played full-back for almost the entire game.

[HullRover]

I thought that, but for a 15 minute spell just after half-time, Rovers pretty much bossed the game tonight and were good value for the win.

No doubt about it, Hull were badly disrupted by Craig Hall's early injury and the ensuing re-shuffle, but I thought Rovers were really focused tonight and would have won regardless.

Our kick-chase game was spot-on throughout...our goal-line defence was magnificent when called upon...while we displayed more controlled aggression than I have seen for some time.

What happens next? Well I fear next week (whoever we play) may be a game too far, but next season should be interesting.

The club opted this year not to utilise approx £250,000 of salary cap (Chev Walker, Paul Cooke and David Mills), so basically, without releasing anyone else, Willie Mason, Blake Green, Craig Hall plus A.N.Other will just add to our squad. The club have also signed up two exceptionally talented youngsters in Louis Sherriff and Jordan Cox who are of a completely different calibre to some of the youngsters like Latus, Spaven and Mariano who have 'filled in' this year.

I will be disappointed if we won't 'challenge' next year.

As for Hull...well? Long, Fitzgibbon, Berrigan and O'Mely will be another year older...not to mention the increasingly ineffective Richard Horne! They will do well to make the play-offs!

The banter is rife on Twitter, even Lord Prescott has been joining in. A few of us have started a 'Hull KR Facts' tweets. Some good ones are as follows:

Hull KR facts: They bang on about being the 'Pride of East Hull' but they were originally a West Hull club.
Hull KR facts: their ground Caravan Park is on Poorhouse Lane and used to be a stable.
Hull KR Facts: Rovers crowds numbers correspond directly with the weekend detention rate at local prisons.
Hull KR facts: East Hull is actually an annexe of Lancashire and therefore deserves scorn.
Hull KR facts: Every season their shirt design is the exact same one that Wigan rejected as being completely devoid of all taste.
Hull KR facts: To purchase a season pass for next season at this year's prices you have to pay them an extra sixty quid.
Hull KR facts: Holderness Road when translated back into Ancient British means Hopelessness Road
Hull KR facts: Rotterdam is closer to the pitch than their South Stand.
Hull KR facts: In order to buy a season pass you need two forms of ID and an extra toe.
Hull kr facts:if hull fc released a fart hull kr would try and sign it!

Do feel free to join in!

You lost to the above mentioned team! lol

The off season has started!!!! ( for you!!!!!)

[Brigg Rover]

I am not shouting for Hull FC anymore, everytime I do they are rubbish

No please keep shouting! ( And next season as well)

[Brigg Rover]

Poor game this one I'm afraid. Hull KR look too solid for Hull FC who need a new coach a la Michael Maguire. They've got the names they should be better than they are.

You wish you had seen a game as poor as this in the last 17 years! Troll!
