Hull KR finally getting my discipline message, says Sandercock
HULL KR coach Craig Sandercock feels the message that discipline wins games is finally getting through to his players.
Back-to-back wins over Warrington and London have coincided with a better disciplinary record, helping the Robins to enjoy more of the ball.

'The penny has dropped': Hull KR coach Craig Sandercock
With a trip to Bradford to prepare for on Sunday, Sandercock is glad the penny has finally dropped with his players.
"The discipline has impressed me in the last two weeks," he told the Mail.

"The message is getting through to the players.
"We've not done anything differently.
"We have just been getting an even share of the penalty count and that's important when it comes to winning rugby league games."
Consistent in attack since the start of the season, Rovers have now shored things up in defence to concede just six tries in their last two matches.
Whilst a trip to third-placed Bradford is another tough assignment, coming away with a win is not beyond the Robins if their high scoring attack stays in top form.
Sandercock hopes his side can defend as well as dominate in attack against the early-season surprise package.
"I am pleased for the boys that we can score points," he added.
"We need to make sure we are on our game and that we defend as well."
With Josh Hodgson and Craig Hall both returning, Sandercock has some tough decisions to make ahead of his side's trip to Odsal.
Hodgson is available after completing a one-match ban, while Hall is over an ankle injury and is likely to be considered.
Sandercock will leave it until as late as possible before deciding on the 17 players he thinks will get the win.
But he admits it will be hard to change the team after doing so well to beat London 42-22 last weekend.
"Craig is fit and ready and Josh has served his ban," Sandercock said.
"We are hoping all 17 players that played in London last week will be fit to play again.
"Of course it's hard to change a winning side.
"But I'll have a good look at Bradford again and pick the best side that will do the best job against them."

“bradford will be very hard game which i think kr will win by atleast 10 points, but also i see we are in a no win situation as bradford only had 12 fit players at training yesterday and have put walker and foster in the squad dispite being injured and playing bateman and purtill due to injuries bateman played 2 games under 19s and purtell nothing since may last season, so if we hammer bradford it will be cos they had a weaker squad out, but if we lose its cos they are in top 3 and a lot better than us who should be at bottom according to some on here, but in honesty i feel smarten up on defense and cut out sillys and we will be fine we can score a shed load of points. and after bradford we hope to beat cas then go into fc game 4 wins then go in easter monday against wigan looking for our 6th win on the bounce”

“I am an homosexual does my opinion still count?
If the answer is yes I think we will beat Bradford.
If the answer is no I still think we will beat Bradford.”

“BennyStol
Surprised you say that about Burns, I think he's made a big difference to your team, first grade NRL S/O so bound to make a massive difference.
Too close to call but if I had to choose hull KR to win.”

“Have to say that i havent seen burns do anything yet and i also think that tui is turning out to be a bad signing cos he is too small and has no agression.”

“Sandercock?
Sounds like torture, not discipline.”
