The biggest issue this team has is a lack of composure, we do not know how to deliver when under pressure, that?s why we come up short in big games.
The defence has improved, but we need to bring some senior players into Hooker and Loose Forward who can calm things down and take control of the team and plays.
KR deserved to win but the captain's challenge was interesting. The KR player that jostled with McDonnell was ahead of the ball carrier (Broadbent) after the ball had been passed across him. In that situation he is offside and therefore interfering with the defender. I didn't expect the try to be chalked off but the fact that the referee and the TMO didn't even look at or consider or discuss that that may be the case that just shows how bad /incompetent they are at doing their job.
Keep Riley Lumb progressing, I think he's very good. Excellent potential. Initially I thought that Sivo would be great to watch but this route of young English lads is better, it's something Hull KR can and will do better on with a few in the pipeline. Bill Leyland was great when he came on Friday
He (Gildart) also had his right arm across the chest of McDonnell too (which is why McDonnell finished up pushing him), which is clearly obstruction to anyone with eyes and a rulebook.
I'm not bitter we lost, KR played well and forced us to, but simple basics shouldn't be missed when we have one official on the field and another with video footage and as long as he likes to review it. When the fans can see it, the officials should too.
