Indeed....but their 'home' games in Canada might save them.

Need to go back to it for me or at least scrap the "conclusive proof" rule and give the VR full autonomy

There was conclusive proof it wasn't a try and he still gave it.

True

I couldn't believe it was given tbh. If a part of that ball was on the ground it must have been fatter than a beach ball.

No harm done in the end, and we will no doubt get bad decisions go our way as the season goes on, but I just don't understand how anyone can look at that and think it's a try.

Also couldn't understand why they didn't stop looking at the No Try before half time earlier than they did. Inside man was offside from the kick and within 10m of Shaul

I thought the kicker had perhaps ran back ahead of the chaser (Ellis?) and played him onside tbh. But I was surprised they didn't seem to take a very close look at it. Considering the way they often take an age to look at easy decisions, they just brushed over that one.

I can only surmise the video ref could only go with the on field decision as a hand covered the viewing, poor decision but he thankful it wasn't detrimental

You do make me giggle Craig.

To win a derby after only effectively one training session is a good result IMO.So we may not have played our best but certainly tonight doesn't show us at our best, but to win in maybe second third gear is pleasing. I don't respect Rovers squad on paper but I do Tony Smith and he will leave Rovers in a much better position then he found it in and will get your team playing to a gameplan that suits them. I think you will survive.

so do you

Can’t be displeased against the self proclaimed rugby football world cup champions in waiting. Your lot would end Liverpool’s winning run in a footie match they’re that good this year.

Glad you enjoyed your big night mate. Rovers tried really hard.

Self proclaimed by who exactly. Would you care to quote any Hull fan?...didn’t think so...
The bitterness still runs deep within the veins doesn’t it? Rovers were excellent in their application last night...they also lost and never held more than a four point lead. Hardly an indictment of the self proclaimed expansive style you play it it? Boring, one dimensional Hull won the game by two scores, had twice as many clean breaks and ultimately claimed the 2 points in what some are regarding as a game Rovers could and maybe should have won...

Hull won 4 try’s to 3 pal.
