I suppose that what happens with the first hit out of the season and I believe Hull KR mightve had 1 or 2 games beforehand. Its amazing to think that the media gave them absolutely no chance, saying that they were 'embarrassed" by York and the Broncos would thrash them. Soon as I saw that I thought, the Robins might be a chance.

Well that puts the debate to bed. We had our doubts but there is no questioning it now.

Hull KR are the best Rugby League team in the entire world!

Just imagine if this game had been played in Singapore in front of all them ex pats from both countries, and the possible money it could have brought into the game now and in the future.

Hull KR were the better team. They flew out of the gates. The Broncos didn't start really trying until about 55 minutes or so into the game, but butchered too many chances. The refereeing was solid with no howlers that I saw.

Didn't cost us the game, we did that to ourselves but it's funny how the 2 leagues are referee'd so differently.

Hull had a sleeper there on the 5th play most times, blatantly obstructing the marker from getting to the kicker, they weren't even being subtle about it.

The difference between the 2 sides was my bet and Vossy's kiss of death just before Shibasaki's 2nd try.
Hull deserved way more respect than the betting market gave them.

The arrogance from Madge and Brisbane was off the scale. No trials and a couple of opposed touch sessions with London and Hull and they thought they’d be fine to go into a WCC. KR have played one proper game, let’s not count their cup game against actual amateurs.

Meh, all NRL teams treat it the same. They don’t want to risk the actual season by playing any extra games early.
All teams treat it like a glorified trial and will continue to while it’s in its current format.

A team with Tyrone May and Peter Hiku, both of whom contributed. Who'd have thought?
