Really disappointed in the Bronx, so far. They’re forcing things, they’ve been rattled and they’ve looked second best for the whole half.

All the preseason training & fitness in the world isn't replacing match time. Don't know if that was a club or NRL choice but it was a poor one to go into this with no game time. Just raw dogging a world club challenge.
Almost inevitable early errors given that situation, coupled with the weather, were promptly punished. Showed some spark further in but little patience. They definitely had their chances to bring this back.

Fair play to Hull KR, using their match fitness and local conditions to their advantage.

What was the go with the Ezra Mam strip across the line? Why was that a penalty? Can you not strip while saving a try in Super League? I couldn't hear the ref or commentators due to my wife's pre-work concert.

The Poms always get to blatantly cheat in this game

Honestly it's pretty embarrassing how we all ridicule the English game, send our best team over there, lose, and then whinge and make excuses when they should be winning by 50 if Super League is as bad as we like to make out.

Of course I can't really talk as my team may never have the privilege of playing in this game.

The NRL and Aussie teams treat it as a trial.

Whose saying it's bad. I've watched it religiously since 2002. I love super league. During the WrestleMania period I prefered it. Maybe check your thoughts about it.

Is Voss calling him Payne to be a merkin? He's normally better than that
I heard it was only in religious settings and such that the name change is relevant. That could be wrong though.

Having two names is weirder than changing your name haha. Fair enough if so then

Absolutely it was.

Bizarre. We had instances of relatively lengthy waits last week in R1 of Super League where onfield decisions were reviewed in a similar way to the bunker. It doesn’t appear to be the case tonight.

I wasn’t pleased with the KR try in the first half where Walsh juggled it and was then tackled without the ball, forcing the knock on.
