Hmmmm.................. Hull KR looks to be back to struggling without an avalanche of set restarts.

 

[Foordy]

why couldn't we get this version of Hull KR, lol

 

[Super Freak]

The hand is on the side of the ball.

There's no downward pressure.

 

[Super Freak]

This video ref is a ****ing joke.

Is he from the NRL?

 

[Big Pete]

So are gameday squads effectively finalised 24hr earlier now?

Players might switch between starting and bench, etc. but we'll at least know who's suiting up earlier

The benefits just keep stacking up.

Your guess is as good as mine, but I thought they may have done away with the emergency reserve now that the bench has been extended? So teams are effectively lining up with 20 players?

Only down-side is that Origin is going to have a bigger impact on club land.

 

[Xarr]

Sivooo

 

[Foordy]

even we don't defend short drop outs that poorly

 

[GCBRONCO]

What a try

 

[jd87]

just a likeable player sivo

 

[GCBRONCO]

even we don't defend short drop outs that poorly

It was only a matter of time a team would put their handup.

 

[Wolfie]

Rovers getting smashed

 

[Waynesaurus]

Nice try.

 

[GCBRONCO]

Ouch

 

[GCBRONCO]

Nice try.

Nope

 

[GCBRONCO]

And another disallowed

 

[TimWhatley]

So this is Hull KR when they aren't playing like their lives depend on it. It just shows how much the wcc means to the SL teams and how little it means to the NRL.

 

[Bull Shark]

How good is that loss to Hull KR looking right now..

Seriously though, the ‘look-ahead’ and ‘let down’ form of KR shows how much they poured into that World Club Challenge..
