York Knights head coach Mark Applegarth told BBC Radio York:<\/p>\n
“We started brightly, we definitely had the intent, and for us it’s about controlling those moments where we are on the front foot a little better.<\/p>\n
“There were some parts where we did and other patches where we do need to get better, whether that’s as individuals or as a collective.<\/p>\n
“Sometimes you just have to tip your hat to the opposition and say we got outplayed, and other times I thought we made life a lot harder for ourselves than we needed to.<\/p>\n
“In the first half we came up with five or six yardage errors and if you invite that much pressure on against a team with as much quality and star power as what we played tonight it’s going to take some defending.”<\/p>\n
Hull KR head coach Willie Peters told BBC Radio Humberside:<\/p>\n
“We defended our try line 33 times in the second half, 44 in total inside that 20 which is a lot, but what that tells you is we put ourselves under pressure. <\/p>\n
“At the moment we show resilience to defend our line, but what we didn’t show, and we’re not there yet, is a team that’s ruthless.<\/p>\n
“So that’s the work-on for us because there were some opportunities to go on with that game and we didn’t, but the resilience that we showed to defend our line was pleasing.<\/p>\n
“There were opportunities to be in a position to score more points, but we weren’t because we kept turning the ball over, so we had to defend our try line.”<\/p>\n
