Hull KR thrash Leeds

[Fairleigh Good!]

To go back to their natural spot on top of Super League.

Another superb performance from them, 1-17 they were superior to the Rhinos and only about 30 penalties in the last 10 minutes for Leeds helped them to respectability on the scoreline.

Well in KR. Loving every minute of their arrival into Super League.:crazy:

two points isn't exactly a thrashing, but well done to the Rovers, they have proven they are the real deal and it's great to see after they had so many haters.

They gotta do something about their stadium, with all their success as well as good support from their fans, it'd be great if they had a capacity somewhere around 15k.

Yes, 2 points is not a thrashing. But Hull KR were superior and outplayed Leeds for 70 minutes in a very exciting game.

What this all proves, once again, is the importance of a top class coach. Hull KR have only a few very good players (e.g. Webster, Vella, Gene, Aizue, Morrell), and no superstars. But the team is incredibly well drilled and self-confident. Justin Morgan is a superb coach.

Yes, why don't we Australians like to chant and sing? Aside from mouthing the words to 'We Are The Eels' and the national anthem there's no singing at Parramatta Stadium.

It wasn't a thrashing, but despite the scoreline it was pretty comprehensive.

I'm glad i got up at 6:40 to watch it

Parramatta's the only one with clapping over the PA system ;-)

When the Dobbins were actually winning things in the eighties they rarely averaged gates of more than 8,000 so a 15,000 capacity stadium would be a waste. Maybe 12,000 at a push but then that would only be tested when the derby was at Caravan Park.

Playing pretty good. Scored two tries against Wigan.

 

[bartman]

Morgan is doing wonders in his first Super League season, without many stars to turn to. If they can keep this up it might help some clubs make a switch back to the fundamentals of real coaching and development of a team rather than chequebook development through individuals?

Look out for the Danny McGuire flick pass to his winger. It's a beauty.:roll:

 

[Henson Park Hornets]

What Dull KR's good start to the season also shows that the standard of the NL1 is improving.
Maybe one day we'll see the Hornets in SL..... But then again the people of Rochdale still wouldn't get behind the team!
