Hull FC interim coach Andy Last told BBC Radio Humberside:<\/p>\n
“Really disappointed, it would have been great to get two points. Unbelievable crowd came in on the back of a season where we have really struggled. The loyalty of the supporters is second to none.<\/p>\n
“We got off to a great start. We felt the start was important for us to get that engagement with the supporters and we thought Rovers were a bit fragile after their last two performances, so it couldn’t have gone any better.<\/p>\n
“The tries we conceded were real soft ones and that was down to fatigue.<\/p>\n
“Second half, Rovers just did what they do which is suffocate you of field position. I ended up with a bit of a neck ache because I was looking to my left all the time. That pressure they put you under forced us into some uncharacteristic errors.”<\/p>\n
Hull KR head coach Willie Peters told BBC Humberside:<\/p>\n
“I’m really proud. The first 10 minutes was a nervous start, 12 [points] down, it could have got ugly but we fought. <\/p>\n
“I thought Tom Amone and Kyle Lawton were outstanding. They made a big difference when they came on. I say it every week but what Dean Hadley brings to our team is incredible.”<\/p>\n
[On Elliot Minchella and Jez Litten] “When times get a little bit tough you want your leaders to stand up and that is what I thought both of those guys did tonight and put in great performances.<\/p>\n
“I said before the game that I thought this was the perfect game for us to show we’ve still got that fight. Being 12-0 down at your rivals to be able to kick on at the back end was what we needed.” <\/p>\n
