He was playing against a coach and players that know his game inside out, plus playing for a new team with a new spine, he’s a quality player, he’ll come good, not sure that will be in round 2 though.

I actually though Hull KR didn’t look up to that much against a dire FC side either.

its too close to call for me.

I wouldn't take issue with anything in that sentence but the first game of the season is really just a continuation of pre-season with points at stake. Not many teams are anywhere near their best.

I'd expect an improvement from them tonight.

I agree and the same from Leeds.

I do however think KR are missing a game manager and kicker (especially goal kicker)

But that’s levelled up with Leeds missing some props.

Interesting to see if Hull FC will be any better this week. Maybe this is part of their problem though:

 

 

I can't imagine they will improve much in this game.

[DavidM]

Wonder if he was honest about how good he was after the season started

What’s everyone’s guess for the first round of booing from the KR fans? Im going early, 3minutes in.

The battle of the Sky sports ref's abusers!

hopefully the rovers fans keep the swearing down.

Even a suspended fine doesn't bother them.

But when the RFL didn't carry it out, why would they worry?

[glossop saint]

Hull KR to score more tries. Doesn't mean that they'll win based on last week's kicking!

[The 4 of Us]

Lovely guy but jeez JJB is difficult to listen to.

[Chrispmartha]

Miller taken ill so young Alfie Edgell starts - go well kid

[JimBronco]

Looking forward to this. 

[tiffers]

On paper KR should win this one with such a light Leeds pack coupled with a winger and full back with little experience.

[RSN]

How many games will Hiku last at full back.

[wakeyranger]

Hiku carrying his fine form on lol.

[MattSantos]

I'm surprised at how poor the basics are being executed. Drop off play after drop off. 

[corvusxiii]

If I say so myself I'm as miserable as the next RL supporter but these ptb's are a breath of fresh air. So much better as a spectacle.

[tiffers]

Croft got a little lucky there. Wrong option to hit the front man and not the back. Still, well executed by Newman after Bentley kept his feet.

[Coggo]

Tidy try.

100% . Way overdue but a much welcome clampdown 

[dkw]

That was a harsh 6 again seeing as though Smith walked forward about 4 foot to play the ball.

[wakeyranger]

Impressed with Leeds so far. Sangare in particular. 

[welshmagpie]

Interested in the ruling there, why wasn’t that a penalty for offside?

I think he gave the first knock on which was before Leeds tried to make the break.

[tiffers]

Edgehill having a great start. Been in the right place a couple of times already. Solid under the high ball so far.

[dkw]

That should have been 6 again, the a Leeds knock on. Both missed. 

[Coggo]

Strange call there. He wiped the count then unwiped it 

[Coggo]

Deliberate or jammy?
