Yes by a country mile when he is pointing out to their half backs to kick it to the corner behind the winger and they score a try from it. How is that not influencing the play?

My point exactly, not much point in saying anything nothing will change .... it just gives ammo to the saddos who'll just say its sour grapes. The thing is it was a good close game and it hurts me to say but we were beaten by the better team on the day!

I also thought over all the ref had a decent game he kept the game flowing he let some high shots go (both ways) of sides and a kick at Hohaia but it was a speedy game.

" Sour grapes "

We were beaten by the fitter team on the day. Jeez, they scored from a charge down and a grubber with 8 to go when we'd had to operate a rolling bench for most of the second half due to being down two subs. And all that on their bog for a pitch.

We'll get them back in the return fixture. We usually do. At least this time it's at home. Hopefully we'll have some players back fit by then too.

as a neutral i thought it was an exellent game. both sides giving it there all and the ref letting the game flow. as a hull fc supporter having watched my team capitulate again i would love my team to pl;ay with that intensity and passion

Calmly watch your defensive line whilst defending within your 10 metre line in any game this season.
I bought Burns a wigan shirt for yesterday's game as he never gets on side at anytime.
Personally I would ban all water carriers etc from the field of play at all times and ban anyone from the coaching side even being on the sidelines. Think we agree there but your insular views on the offside angle needed some sort of reaction
