Ironic that it would be on Good Friday that refereeing died

How csn one half of rugby league last an hour?

Honestly don’t know what game you lot are watching. Seems like you’re determined to say the ref is a joke regardless of the decision or situation. Don’t think he’s done much wrong in that game. The only issue I’d have is the possible forward pass from Carney but there’s plenty of players blocking the view of the TJ and it’s not massively forward.

Otherwise think the ref has done alright and think the VR has got it right so far too. Certainly not the joke/disgrace/shocking/ridiculous situation that is being made out on here.

Really

For me:
Hull FC first try - incorrect knock on.
Red card - correct 10/10 red card.
HKR disallowed try - correct, it’s unfortunate and Hull Kr would score without the obstruction, but there was an obstruction.
Talanoa try - correct, his fingers are not in touch before he scores.

O'Connor - "you've gotta play every play haven't you?"

Imbecile

If I tackle you and hit the ball at the same time and the ball spills its a knock on, the first try the video ref saw the arm and ball the hit at the same time. So now there is a new rule for try scoring tackles. All the other doubtful tries were forwards, in touch. Ball steals given as knock ons. The Red card was the only decision I agree with

Barrie - "as a se"

Him.

Sorry but missing a knock on at the play the ball followed by a blatant forward pass is poor.

don't really know how you can call the officiating as shocking etc etc when you lot on here can't agree on the big decisions. correct red card was the only thing the majority of posters agree on, and even then there are a couple calling it wrong/harsh.

who would be a ref

I enjoyed that.

I think when Hull F.C. play H.K.R. again they should play with twelve, it evens up the contest.

Lee Radford has some views on this in his usual honest and up front way, if you look on the match report on BBC. It's hard to disagree with him.

Hull head coach Lee Radford:

"That game took two hours. This isn't sour grapes because we won, but what separates us from rugby union is the speed of the game.

"Why have we got an official on the field? We may as well just go upstairs all the time. Either employ a referee who is going to grow a pair or have a video referee in every game so at least we know what we're getting.

"We're constantly going up to the video referee. Too much is going up. If that game isn't on Sky, the referee has got to make them decisions himself. You're almost dreading a Sky game.

yes saw that. the thing about radford is you usually get something a bit different from the usual cliches at press conferences - he'll certainly put up topics for discussion
