| Who was kicking your restarts, he moved the ball all over the place! I was behind the sticks in the south stand and every kick off looked a nightmare for the receiver.

| Thought Hull's defence, especially on the goal-line was magnificent and we missed far too may one on one tackles to win any game. I agree with those who suggest the moving of BK to full back after Platty went off was very important for us; Brett was already second choice in a half back set-up where we were already short on numbers, so pushing a forward, even one with good hands like Addy, was always going to be hard to over come.
The forwards drove the ball in well and drew the Hull defence a number of times but then inexplicably we threw another inside ball for a prop to drive for the line, instead of putting the quick ball out to where we had the overlap. I guess that had much to do with the halfback situation.
Hull deserved their win and I'll take 28 - 12 at the KC, particularly under the circumstances. Hope Platty is OK for the Cas game

Jamie Foster.
But then Ben Crooks kick offs were tricky for the Bulls to deal with as well in that 2nd half

To be honest he is free to celebrate as he sees fit. Jamie Foster spoke beforehand of his respect for the Hull club and how grateful he was to them for getting his career back on track. He insisted he wouldn't be doing any over the top celebrations if he went over for a try. Personally I have a lot more admiration and respect for that way of thinking.

or maybe crookes had just scored his first try for his new club in front of the south stand that holds the home fans and wanted to celebrate that moment!

And showed a (slight) lack of respect for his former colleagues and fans?
Not a problem with him celebrating though, but you can't say it isn't in any way disrespectful.

you're saying its disrespectful because he celebrated!!
he was in front of his own fans!
plenty of players celebrate tries, goals in rugby or football against teams they played against, its not a written rule not too!

Indeed. Blown out of all proportion, imo.

| He may well feel he does not owe Bradford as many favours as, say, how Foster feels about Hull. And his behaviour sounds perfectly reasonable and proportionate to me.

Never suggested it was a rule.
Also said it didn't bother me, but I still believe that it is slightly disrespectful.
Most other clubs would have dumped him after his injury record and early performances. That along with what he went through with his former teammates last season make it so. Still, don't think anyone will lose any sleep over it!
