For those who don't know Orchard Park and Bransholme are two large council estates in Hull.

What concerns me is Radford isn't really accepted any fault of his players. It seems he's directing it all at Fev. Trust me, I was a total neutral when watching last night but it takes 2 to tango. Faurimo was beyond moronic.

I've no doubt there have been worse incidents, but I haven't witnessed them. Flower's brain fart was awful, but at least he wasn't sneaky about it and he didn't try to run away,
I saw Rocky Turner, Vinty Karalius, Jack Wilkinson, Chris Burton and Jim Mills all play and believe me they took no prisoners, but I've never seen anything as nasty as Chase's assault on Ropati. There was no need for it, there was no provocation, it was just sheer nastiness, I'm no lover of Cas, but I don't blame them, I blame the player. He should never have played again after that. He did. But that's the RFL for you.

Please don’t bring facts into it, Rangi Chase did the worst tackle ever....... signed: nuetral fev and wakey fans

I've seen the game now. For the first twenty Fev were like the rabbit in the headlights, and it looked as if Hull would blow them away. But once Fev started playing, and Hull looked insecure, that's when the nasty stuff started. Holding down at the tackle, flops, holding the tackler down (Briscoe got sinbinned for that) A blatant high tackle on Briscoe on about 27 minutes, unpunished, and several knock-ons at the PTB which they got away with. The Hardcastle disallowed try was another example of the officials favouring Hull. The point of the ball clearly touched the ground, under control, before the Hull player intervened. Hull got away with so much for so long that they thought they could do what they liked, hence the carnage at the end. I'll admit that Taulapapa should probably have been yellow-carded, but it wasn't high despite what the Sky commentator said, it was early. The reaction of the Hull player after he obstructed Briscoe said it all about Hull. He should have got a red card for that smirk alone. I don't watch much Sky but their commentary team really are very biased against Championship clubs.

No - bren2k.

What's your point?

I was questioning whether you thought the flower incident was worse. Imo it was. The guy was already ko'd and he belted him again! That said I was sad with the chase incident especially when nothing really came after (not that that would have made it acceptable of course). I wanted to see a public apology, instead i was lied to by Richard Wright...

Faraimo red was spot on but taullapapo should have been a red too. There's no duty of care to the ball carrier at all. Even if Shaul does take the ball before the hit he was already on his knees and chances are the tackles direction would be deflected from the chest by the ball to the head area anyway. Some will disagree but whilst I like to see rugby as a tough sport I don't want to see players maimed or seriously injured through poor tackling.
The ball steal pen that hock won at the end was tosh too. He threw the ball down as he wanted a bit of biff as he always does. He's wasted his career with his thuggery as he was a quality player when not grubbing

Incidently I did notice peacock n sinfield both seemingly condemning hull before the cas v saints game calling it disgusting that we finished with 9 ,but seemingly skirting around feaths involvement in proceedings.they wouldn't be trying to pressure the rfl to punish hull before magic weekend would they ??.

Careful Andy, your mask is s-s-slipping already.

I’m brain dead, but you consider a broken jaw the product of the worst ever challenge in rugby league.... not a broken neck or anything...... To$$er

This was a bad tackle and should have been a red card for me, a yellow card at an absolute minimum. It was only when the ref let this go that the game got out of hand. Both the ref and players are at fault for that. I expect several suspensions to be handed out.

I think you either watched that game with eyes closed or with just the clear Fev bias you display. The "high" shot on Briscoe, look again, Houghton tackles him fairly and he then bounces off Sike Manu. No contact to the head yet a penalty was awarded. If you really think Hull were "getting away with so much", you are clearly not an objective viewer of this game.


Featherstone have been renowned for rough house tactics for many years. They see a reckless collision by Taulapapa go unpunished and they up the niggle to spoiling levels.

That some on this and other threads are having a go at Jake Connor for winding up the opposition and actually think he should be disciplined for it is laughable. Andy Gregory made a career out of it.
