Strange game tonight. The pack started the game on fire, we had almost all the ball for the first half hour. Puletua was unplayable, Perry was having a stormer, Gaskell's kicking was superb and Lomax was looking dangerous. Some of the moves in that first 30 were the Saints of old romping up the field. Then something just switched, suddenly Hull KR had all the ball and scored a couple of really soft tries. From the 30 minute mark to the 65 minute mark they absolutely destroyed us. Their pack was on top, their halves creating chances. When they hit the front I though it was over, no way back.
Jon Wilkin was my MOM tonight. There are a lot who criticise him for not stepping up when it matters, but I thought he was sensational tonight. He put in so many tackles, most of them very dominant. He was also superb with the ball and caused trouble with his kicking. He really stepped up the intensity with 20 to go and led the team home.
Is there any news on J-Lo? Looked a very serious injury given the way they took 15 minutes to walk him off the pitch, hopefully he won't be out too long.
