Really enjoyed the afternoon, think we were poor at times (e.g. the 25-40 minute mark where we conceded 3 tries without reply after going 0-12 up early-ish on), but another good run-out and valuable experience for the younger players. Must also have been great confidence boost for Welham getting a hat-trick ahead of the season.





Was great to see Makka again too (got great reception from Rovers fans as you would expect), what a legend.

Can anyone tell me who played at 6, no name on shirt - smaller version of blake green.





Star player for me was Cox, looks a good un!

Our academy stand-off, Kristian Bell. Seems to be getting a lot of praise in the rugby press too.

This is him, he was probably my player of the game

Bell & Cox for me then. (not in that way

)

Aint that a pub in Preston?

Fair dues, but would love to hear their view on why Hull City require 10 pages of coverage for a Championship match every Monday?!

Never known such a biased rag in all my life.

cancelled my subscription / delivery last year, utter $hite.

I have heard a few times that Morgs instructs this in the friendlies, silly penalties on own line and uncharacteristic errors to invite pressure, I can certainly see the advantage of doing this in a friendly. Reading the report on Hull's friendly, It doesn't seem like Donny had much ball in hand, IMO our close game with Fax was more beneficial.



I'm not saying that this is true and that Morgs does instruct this, someone may know?

I could see the pressure on the line bit, maybe give away a bit of ball and allow the opposition a bit of goal line pressure but I doubt he'd want to give away tries,especially break aways which seemed like what Fax got at the weekend.
