Once the usual heartbreak has melted away a bit I have to say that performance wasn't that bad at all !!! I see we have the usual grumblers on here again but quite frankly I can't quite see how anyone can have anything but admiration for our efforts this afternoon. Here we are playing the best team in the comp and down to 12 men early on, (which in the modern game spells disaster for even the best) and yet we have the opposition coach coming to the touchline to rally his troops when in the middle of the second half they are in danger of being bettered by a 12 man opposition out on their feet. For me the progress we have made since last year is phenomenal and most fans appreciate that; you only have to see how many stayed when it was a lost cause. We have to celebrate the spirit, wanting and desire in this squad we have. 


We made errors and fluffed our lines at times. But how potent are we these days with the ball in the opposition 20??? There were some massive efforts out there with players running for the shirt and the fans when most would have expected them to have expired much earlier. I was proud of the lads today and when we have had as long as the dobbins to build a team we are going to be some force in the game and the City of Hull could well again become the capital of rugby league. We are going to lose some this year, of course we are, but what a coach we have, watching it back he is just as enthusiastic as we all are when we score and its easy to see how the whole club is all together in it for  us lot out there in the stands. I refuse to criticise anyone as is the case with Cust who perhaps could have done something, but the rules are the rules, however if I was running that fast I doubt I could have changed much!!! (me running not going to happen though so can't prove it!!!!) We Might have won that one on a level playing field, but when the best team in the leagues supporters cheer a sending off as much as they would winning a trophy it says a lot for how far we have come!!! On we go, but isn't it great to watch this team of ours this season. I'm loving it!!! 

I have no issue with the red. It looked bad.The ref and vr can't look at it all day the have to make a decision.


I doubt Cust was being deliberate but thems the breaks.


And let's be honest is anyone suprised the first red goes to us?


We have to be super clean.

Pryce would have got the red for attacking precious Ikkle Mikeys shoulder with his head.

I just think it was an unavoidable collision so you are penalising the player and team for something they cant do anything about unless they don't challenge for the ball 

my  view of the cust red card is this.
ive watched it so many times, both cust and morgue are goign for the ball, you can see custs hands going for it. morgue gets it the ball a split second before cust. from there, how are you supposed to pull out. running at full speed and less than a foot away.


not only that, grant claims there is no mitigation,  but when you look at morgue, his legs are bending before contact, so lowering from his height (which is already small)
all those things mentioned above is mitigation surely? 


i never thought it was a red. even the on field ref gave a drop out. my kr friend i was watching it with said sin bin. she was stunned at the red card.


then you get JWH clear punch to asiata face. linesman right inline with it and says nothing. rfl have 3 different camera angles of it and say "unclear"


was stevie wonder on the board?


one more thing both me and my kr friend noticed was JWH try. hiku knocks the ball onto briscoe in the air (knock on) yet they said nothing about that and awarded the try.


her words from that game were "thats our get out of jail free card used up" 

also, i believe JC commented on the "hit off th ball"


sezer got hit 3 times off the ball against wire and nothing. again sezer and pryce hit off th ball vs kr. nothing


yet asiata got penalised for contact with lewis...
