I have said nothing about the drop on the Huddersfield page as it's still really bitter, and I can fully understand why.

I was in the away end I promise I thought it was wide, I said to the guy next to me that it was so close that we would not be able to say to much it the ref gave it, I wouldn't put my house on it but it was no goal

Ref used the Video Ref a number of times off side from the kick, number of bodies in the way over the line, that stuff that would have been difficult to be 100% about! he then makes a call which he is sure about and is panned for the making the call. Yes a number of people included a number who have made their name in a red v but without the right angle it's impossible to call it was that close. There are two replays of the attempted drop goal one is goal, the other no goal. What call would he have made if handed upstairs? Advantage attack, on field refs call or asked his opinion if it went straight upstairs??

There are not enough refs in the sport ATM and even less that most fans could agree on as being good good enough and so the rfl need to put some real plan in place to sort this one way or another, and I think it's fair to say the answer is not Jon sharp

I hope this planned protest is not because you feel you had a couple of bad calls against you yesterday, because yes you were the better team, much improved from the last few weeks and getting back on track. But if brough was stood further back, took the kick as first receiver or just hit it better and won the game would you still be talking about a mass protest??

Half of them?

Really

You actually proved my point there, thank you

Your correct there is currently no mention of playing the ball in the rules of the game - because it is merely the open, accepted interpretation of it, throughout the years (and codes) voluntary tackles have taken different significance which is why the rules you quote are vague. As with the rules about kicking a drop goal, they are kept precise and open, so they outlast current trend and fashions in the sport, and don't need to be updated as every new trick comes into fashion.

If the rules you quoted were strictly followed, we'd see a penalty for it every other week, as a player picks the ball up on his own line, stays on the floor to not be pushed back and the defender waits for him to stand. If you think that that should be penalised, fair enough - but that's not the current interpretation no irony here it is also worth pointing out if you do believe this is a voluntary tackle, there are at least 2 penalties saints should of had for voluntary tackles throughout the game

It's also an irrelevance - Lunt touches hohaia and he falls to the floor (whether that contact was enough for him to fall is another debate ) so the tackle was merely in the process of being complete

There were a few, I also saw Leeds and Warrington fans doing similar, your hatred for Hull is getting embarrassing, the only problem I have ever seen at games in from Warrington fans, hasn't stopped me going and i don't tarnish all your fans with the same brush, I understand like Hull and other clubs it is just a minority.
