Peacock has gone down in my estimation, moaning that the drop goal didn't go between the posts. Sore loser.

Peacock is drowning. He is way out of his depth in his role as football manager. Announcing he's coming out of retirement after the loss to Leigh just seems like a massive knee jerk reaction to try to get some control in the only way he knows how- on the field. His job is to ensure that they have a squad available to compete in the middle 8s, he's suspended his arguably best player and failed to foresee issues due to injury. We played yesterday with two prop forwards (one a rookie) and two second rows to interchange. He should have been able to manage the squad he had instead of thinking he could go out onto the pitch after a year and save the day.
He's little experience, non at a club like KR and he's way out of his depth.

what a game! never known nothing like it, from going 22-4 up to letting hull kr back into it (just like the prev time we played) except this time we come through with the win.

that drop goal, then their drop goal hitting the post!!! (we had a pen hit the post not long before too) then the disallowed try which we all thought it was game over then but was held is suspense ....nobody could bloddy see the video ref screen!!!!

what a game, what a day!

Why we love rugby league.

That drop goal effort from Campo from 40 yards out seemed to take for ever to float towards the posts,then the try that quite rightly sent the Rovers crowd wild, to say I was distraught at that moment was an understatement until Hicks sent it up 'no try' Wow.

Why no big screen for such an important game,thanks for nothing Sky TV.

What a great finale to the season yesterday! The old ring-piece has just about stopped twitching! Everyone, including the HKR fans, must have gone through just about every emotion watching it. The relegation fight has defo added a bit of excitement, frustration and disappointment over the last few weeks. Shame Peacock is a bit of a bad loser!
Did anyone else notice Derek shaking virtually every persons hand at the end? Top lad!
Looking forward to next season. Keep the faith!
(Grix 2 year contract at Wakey. Past couple of games him and Brierley have stood out for me)

Might have have been so much better if Stone could have coached Grix earlier on attack.

yeh ikahihifo certainly makes time for the fans after every game, taai did a fair bit too

broughy jumped into the crowd

Re: Hull KR : Sun Sep 25, 2016 6:48 pm  

'Big Screen' if you could call it one (about as big as the telly in the Cavalry Arms) was facing the standing HKR fans horizontal to the TV gantry over the Roger Millward stand.
You're dead right Mr Brearley84, Taai did as usual spend time thanking us for our support, as did a few others.
Don't want to sound negative but the way everyone was acting it was if we'd won the Challenge Cup and league rolled into one!! Collective relief!! It would have been great to avoid the stress of possible relegation/MPG but in a perverse sort of way it's been 'interesting' - the Cas, Wakey and Widnes fans have had nowt to play or shout about for over the past few weeks unlike us. I'd rather be getting stressed out over our top four position though!!

There's a clock on the score board and the big screen is down to Sky, we aren't relegated yet, but thanks for your best wishes plank.
