Can't see Rervers slipping up here. They're a far more effective unit than Huddersfield and have far more at stake

[Old Frightful]

Will Pryce capitalises on a Hull KR error.

Kr the better team and deserved the win, good game i thought and once again individual errors and a lack of personal effort cost us as well as Messrs Pryce and Connor as usual not keeping their gobs shut, as has been the case most of the season, Rovers got a lift as soon as Abdul came on and he turned the game in their favour, cracking player.

Tell you what that Mikey Lewis lad is a bit of a grub isn't he? 3 or 4 times tonight he left stuff behind from a tackle/ruck, little stuff like standing on hands, rubbing Jerry's head in the ground, pulling collars, then hides while his big team mates come in and cover him, cheeky half backs they used to call them didn't they? back in the day he would have been belted!.

Also massive praise for the KR fans, 1,200 of them and they madea right racket too, easily the noisiest we've had this year.

Well only 1 more game for me to endure then i will look forward to seeing who we manage to offload for next year.

Will be a surprise if KR don't qualify for the play offs from here, equally will be a surprise if Watson is still the Huddersfield coach next season, there's definitely better coaches out there for the Giants, got a feeling Powell will be the new coach

Patchy performance from Rovers, but a few bits of quality counted when it mattered - and if you can find a way to win when not playing well then that's a good sign.

Huddersfield side lost the plot a few times in the game, bit of an attitude problem in the squad. Can't say I'm entirely surprised, Connor has had a whole season now to instill his sulky, snidey culture into the group and looks like he's managed it. Genuinely the only player I've ever really disliked, rather than just been annoyed that he didn't play for my side like Tomkins and others with an edge.

He's going nowhere, he has a job to do here and the board and him want him to do it!

Then the board are culpable, he's an incredibly limited coach.

[daz39]

Sacking coaches will not help us one bit, we need stability, we won't get it by sacking another coach because he hasn't won us a trophy yet, everytime we do we then have to start again and undo everything thhe previous coach did and put in place, Watto was given 5 years to sort the club out, we excelled ourselves last year. 

I will judge Watto on the state he leaves the club in not on how many trophies he's won us, if he gets the culture and attitude right we're onto a winner, that's what makes winning teams not just hoping a new coach will get lucky.
