Strange how Shaw has so far failed to pick up on the issue of staying down when the likes of Lewis, Parcell and even Minchella have all been guilty of this very thing throughout the season so far.

For me the only way to stop this is if a player goes down and the game is stopped for a period of time then they go off for a mandatory 5 mins. This may seem harsh for genuine injuries/knocks but feel it will lead to players cutting out the gamesmanship that seems to have crept in the last few seasons. Much like the numerous penalties awarded when players ptb on an opposing player intentionally.

This has all come about because of the soft rule changes , Like others have mentioned , Needs clamping down on and It needs addressing in the off season .

Rovers fans need to have a bit of perspective.

Their players often wave their hands at the PTB hoping to get a penalty in their favour. Their fans screaming ‘Forward’’ at every opportunity trying to influence the referee into awarding a scrum. However, when they get a marginal decision against them, like last Friday, they are in uproar.

You can’t have it both ways. All club’s get decisions against them at some point, sometimes it affects a game more than at other times, but we all get them (Nu Brown’s sending off at Warrington; Chris Green’s ‘onside’ at Magic; and Dobsons ‘Dan Marino’ forward pass at Magic etc…)

It's turned into a Hull and Rovers thing because this is a Hull FC forum and your coach, having been on the receiving end of a few 50/50's for a change, has chosen to have a moan about it. Last time I looked Peters was the KR coach which means FC fans will comment on Rovers players and their antics.
Having seen a few of your games I would consider your players to have been as guilty of doing the very things he moaned about in equal measures to other teams.

Fully agree. Your lot were doing it from game one at the MKM.

There is a fine line here. Let's be honest, 2 16 stone blokes crashing into each other at a closing speed of 25 miles an hour is pretty brutal and if there is head contact it's going to affect you. Do we ignore the genuine ones because people are bending the rules?

Whitbread banned for the head contact I see
