Its ok he decided to even it up by disallowing a perfectly good try. In all honesty Roby is one of the worst refs in the comp. looks like a rabbitt in headlights most games I've seen.

Well come on, that's a competitive field. Probably the biggest area of depth we've got in the UK, bad refs.

He looked very good, seems the spell at Hudds has increased his confidence. He made some good runs from dummy half and made very good metres. His quick PTB had Rovers defence all over the shop which set up Currie's second try (I think). Looks better than he did last year, and kept us rolling forward with some neat passing at the line. He and Clark (if he is heading our way) will make an excellent combo.

Hall was clearly in front of Burns for the kick. As soon as he got involved the ref penalised him.

Hall was at least two metres in front, had a perfect view!

However the try was disallowed for a forward pass (the last one).
Which I didn't have a good view of!

It was a forward pass. If that's the sort of rugby you get served up every week then I'm surprised that HKR get so many supporters.

According to a few on Twitter Rovers were hard done too & didn't deserve all the penalties against.

I thought HKR were very good. We were just better. One of the better sides to appear at the HJ this year IMO. Good pack and half backs let down by terrible backs.

Yeah agreed, that Cox bloke had a decent game, strong runner.

Their own coach disagrees.

Smoke bombs are not flares!

And apart from directly inhaling it or it being thrown at you, smoke bombs are pretty harmless. They use them a lot of paintballing and they're thrown about often landing right next to people.

Even if someone responsible was holding it, flares aren't [ithat[/i dangerous. Just depends if it's being held by a numpty or not.

Doesn't make throwing one onto a RL pitch right though does it!

Does anyone have the penalty count? Roby gave rather a lot in their favour.

What about smoking cigs eh, whats worse with smoking a cig than a smoke bomb.

Remember when the Nazis banned us from lighting up at the stadium, is it any wonder they can't fill it? They might have had to build a new stand by now, if all the smokers hadn't stopped going.

Oh, not at all.

That's inexcusable.
