Fri 18th Sept: CCQF: Hull Kingston Rovers v Leeds Rhinos KO 8.15pm (Sky)

[John Drake]

Discuss Hull Kingston Rovers v Leeds Rhinos here.

[MZH]

Not sold on Leeds, and with Rovers' new found confidence and style I quite fancy them here.

Hull KR by 8

[Chronicler of Chiswick]

Leeds by 8.

[Liverpool Rover]

If we can carry on playing as well in attack and keep up with the defensive improvement that we have been showing then I fancy a win.

[The Hallucinating Goose]

I'm going for the dark side to get the win, been showing some real skill in attack in the last few games. KR by 8.

[corvusxiii]

It would be good to see the ball rip/knock on decisions going right more often.

[OMEGA]

That was a joke decision by the ref, 

the Leeds player clearly raked the ball out of the KR players hands and it results in 6 points to Leeds

Thats just pathetic officiating and undermines the game

[Man of Kent]

P*ss weak defending, sorry.

2nd try I agree but the 1st try they shouldn’t have even been defending it was a penalty to KR

[DavidM]

Good move but really poor defence on that touch line 

[OMEGA]

Surprise surprise 

same situation but Leeds get the penalty!

Its the correct decision but highlights how inexperienced refs are influenced by the bigger named clubs

[Man of Kent]

Buffet. Help yourself.

[DavidM]

Terrible defence by Rovers . 

[OMEGA]

HKR though, haven’t come out of the changing rooms yet, some awful defence

[fieldofclothofgold]

One of them nights it looks like. Smithy to give big halftime team talk 

[Eddie]

Just turned it off, one sided games are so dull for the neutral.

Get a grip, the first one was wrong but it was brushed out and you're watching it in slow motion multiple times. It's not some great conspiracy and doesn't excuse Rovers' defence opening up like the Red Sea four times.

 

[MZH]

That defence to allow Leeming to score was shameful. Embarrassing half from Rovers.

That last try was "ORRBLE!!!

[Tommygilf]

Massive improvement on last week's start from Leeds. Some lucky calls but on the whole KR have been made to look rubbish.

[The Hallucinating Goose]

Well I've just checked the score for the first time during the game and my reaction was something along the lines of, "wow..." 

[Rupert Prince]

Leeds lucky not to be having 3 players in the bin.

Generally every other tackle these days is a high one off the top of the shoulder onto the neck.  Pot luck for refs to penalise.

[Hela Wigmen]

Mark Wilson is a far better commentator than what we have. His presence also means we hear less insightful gems from Dumb & Dumber.

I have to concede that I also thought, having beaten the Pies and run Skints very close, Leeds would be a possible win for Rervers.

Was Abdul that much of a miss?

Their errors and ball coughing up meant it didn't take much for Leeds to ensure the game was over by arf tarm.

Must say, I feel a little more relaxed about next month's derby now, I feel it may be a bit more even than I was anticipating.

Their defence looked sloppy and lethargic from the start. You could maybe blame their attack on missing Abdul, but that's bo excuse for some of the defensive efforts. They were a shadow of the side I've seen the past couple of weeks.
