Sat 1st June: SL: Hull KR v Leigh Leopards KO 17:30 (Sky/SuperLeague+)

[Thunder Road]

Hoping fir a Leigh win but we are a little light in the prop department. 

[dunno much]

Anywhere I can get match updates for the reserves game?

[PoorhousePete]

Tight, tight, tight.  Either team could have been ahead at this point. I hear coaches talk about the 1% stuff, and this is looking like one of those games.

[sweaty craiq]

That was ripped

[LeytherRob]

How was that not a rip then? Brown even praising KR for ripping the ball, no one mentioning it was 2 on 1...

[Leyther_Matt]

Allowed to rip even with more than one in the tackle as long as it is in the act of scoring. What a dreadful rule that is.

Still a penalty

Really? That's a mad rule

[DavidM]

I’ll be kind and say this game is a grind 

[johnh1]

What a superb call by the on field ref that was.

[Worzel]

Never a double movement - if anything the Leigh players pulled him into the in-goal!!

Apparently not

Must admit it was a new one on me. One sneaked it from the NRL by the looks of it

[PoorhousePete]

Not sure if momentum can be properly judged in slow motion. 

[JohnM]

If points were awarded for mistakes, it would be  50-all by now 

[Coggo]

Support play was excellent there 

[DavidM]

 A lovely bit of play at last seals the deal you’d reckon

I think Adrian Lam would disagree. 
 

Irrespective, Leigh not clinical enough. 

[johnh1]

What is it with Sky insisting on showing the coaches behind a dirty screen where you cannot even see them when the game is in motion?

Very annoying

[bratman]

Not the greatest but very valuable 2 points for Rovers

[sweaty craiq]

Leigh badly missed the middles to drag the KR defence in and make them work

[Worzel]

If you can win games like that when you're not quite firing as well as you'd like, then you will do well in the league. In the old days when we were doing relatively well in a season Rovers were still either red hot one week, or absolutely terrible the next... especially defensively. Being bang average and still winning is the sort of "consistency" I've been hoping for for years!!

[Reliant Robin]

Great defence from Rovers, ground out a result there. I think the challenge cup final break will benefit us greatly as we looked jaded at times.

Top 6 side are Hull KR. Lack the pace and quality to be GF contenders IMHO. 
 

Great defence defence today btw.
