George King (amongst others at Rovers) looks a much improved player. Tony Smith does a great job of getting the best out of his players

George King has been excellent.

Love watching Hull KR, it's always entertaining stuff.

They are just playing heads-up rugby and looking for gaps to exploit. It’s not that hard but too many sides play by numbers.

Great stuff this Rovers

It's great when it comes off. When it doesn't, it's awful to watch.

For a lot of players that would be much harder than following a strict script

Usually for the wrong reasons, they are putting on some great off the cuff plays though tonight*

*I know they have in other games this season.

Clubb is an idiot.

Looks like the Wigan players can’t count then.

Depends on how they are coached, I suppose. KR have good footballers but  they are clearly being encouraged by Tony Smith to go for it if it’s on.

Club's mouth causing issues again.

Played like this in the majority I've seen this season, so much better than tedious "structures" and "percentages".

Most teams are not coached like Smith coaches KR

The sooner he is gone the better, and the same goes for the “coach”.

Indeed!

[Padge]

Wigan have now decided to join in on the "lets throw it about" festival

[Waynebennettswinger]

Great pressure from Isa on the Drop Goal attempt. If KR get the 1 pointer there then they really turn the screw, that could be a big play.

[Padge]

Another good spot from the ref. Fair call.

That was class refereeing. Looked for all the world like he'd got it wrong from the first angle.

[JohnM]

Well beaten by a much better team performance. No complaints.

Very good spot, I thought it was a try.
