I'll have to go against everything I hold dear and cheer on the Rhinos tonight.

At he risk of stirring NB I thought the ref was pretty poor last night, first half especially.

Missed forward passes ( both sides) and gave forward passes that weren't. I thought he missed Dixon being checked ( possibly by Connor) as he tried to chase his kick through to the in goal area, but the biggest howler was that he missed Westerman losing control of the ball in a tackle and instead gave it as a Hull penalty for a ball steal. Score was either 12-0 or 18-0 at the time, and FC went and scored a try in the following set of tackles. Might not have made much difference to the overall score but .......

I wonder if its getting to the point that the cheque book is well and truly closed! he is getting no younger, and perhaps feels he can't afford to throw more money away! as far as we know there is no one coming through who interested in taking over? its been a real up and down journey since the first Fulham match against Wigan which I will never forget, but now I worry, even some of my fight is draining away.

Agree with you about the ref, seems to sum him up, his game last week was the same, seems to have authority, but really he is wet and weak! and why we have the men on the touch lines these days is a joke, as they do little, its become a joke why they feel they need to enter the pitch on every tackle then do nothing?

Tjs coming onto the field to reinforce the move call is an Australian thing which has come in
And what do you expect them to do?
As for knock on or RIP agree it was a mistake, that was actually probably a touch judge call.
Not sure what else you think the touch judges can do, they only advise apart from 2 things

Great to see syd get MOM thought the local lads showed their worth overall. Rob Butler impresses me more each time he plays.
Thought dixon actually did ok at full back, the first try was straight lack of communication though, it was dixons ball!

I did wonder why Meadows wasn't given a game last night in the halves, until I found out he's been given a 4 match ban for verbally abusing a ref while playing for Sheffield..
So from looking at the squad Danny wards going to have to stick with Cunningham Abdull partnership.
I noticed Davis didn't come back on the pitch so is it worth the club looking for a loanee hooker from somewhere. Yes I know we need some more players in other areas but you can't expect fozzard to do 90 minutes because I noticed in the second half as he got tired it became a bit of a penalty machine we need someone with a bit of experience to come on and help..

You’re right, Foz looked knackered by halfway through the second half

Playing Hull mate. Jekyll and Hyde. Frustrates the hell out of us supporters.

Leeds Rhinos let us and themselves down last night.

To be honest i half expected them to lose. Agar might have brought in a couple of so called big name overseas players but they're not gelling. Unlike Smith whos looked at his team , noticed where they are weak and filled these gaps with guys who play for a team not just themselves if that mades sense.
Also watching last night the players enjoy playing for him.

I think what it shows when a chairman backs his coach and let's him tweak the players and the team with loan deals/swaps and a bit of cash what a difference it mades.

Whens the french hooker due back?

Alan, think the comment re chairman backing his coach is quite a contradiction! KR and Leeds have both been given free reign to spend and bring in players that the coach wants! Leeds are proof that does not always work!
As suggested in another thread KR with new coach will be ok! Leeds on the other hand, their problems are deeper than the squad, I dont actually king Kevin is good for them in the role he is in.
