Just watching a rerun of the game and the Fash and Griffin incidents.
Peacock and Wilkin practically frothing at the mouth saying Fash was an intentional shoulder to the head
Fash is in the tackle and has his arms trapped in the tackle and Percival has a hold of Fash. They go down in the tackle and Fash seems to simply land on Percival and there’s not a lot a player can do in that as he couldn’t go anywhere.

As for Griffin it doesn’t look like he said an awful lot, Kendal couldn’t get his cards out quick enough. Not excusing Griffin but think Kendal has handled the situation poorly as could have just told Griffin to shut up, take halftime to calm down as Kendal does enough coaching during a game.

Even the penalty against Cator for a trip seemed very harsh as you see that nearly every week when player are stepping across to make a tackle.

It’s almost as though Kendal has a god complex.

Don't know if we'd have won with 13 on the pitch or not.
I do think Kendall is a poor ref amongst others officiating in Super League.
It is what it is and we've got what we've got.
It's gonna be difficult for many to keep enthused now that we've relatively got very little to play for, 8th, 9th, 10th?
Hope we can positively recruit for next year to give us something to look forward too.

Typical comments of a loser

What iIdidn't understand in the Fash incident is the putting on report. If 3 officials on the pitch and a video referee can't decide what to do, then penalty, get on with it.. I'm okay with that, but what purpose is putting the incident on report. It's not as if the disciplinary will miss it. They find incidents to look at that nobody ever sees during the game and puts their own unique interpretation on matters.

Welcome back, did you enjoy your holiday ?

Maybe in your winterwonderland he has stolen it from Tuimavave

Showed today for me why Carlos isn’t the right choice has captain, a good captain would question the referees decisions at times even to slow play down like a few do in SL and might even sway a few decisions out way . Effort today , can’t question and without Clifford we couldn’t do much more . Griffin should know better , especially at his age plus he’s got previous, so looks like he can’t change , no matter how frustrated you are . Even though mcintosh was quiet today , I think he comes in for way to much unfair criticism from some , not as bad as people make out , just been lacking confidence .

I would agree that Carlos isnt the perfect captain but there are no obvious candidates in the squad, we really need to sign a vocal, hard as nails experienced forward who can lead us next year. That said the dressing room seems the best it has been in years so off the field things seem good

This is the second cup tie with Saints that Griffin has cost us
The trouble is he was pinged for a ball steal when if you watch it closely Hurrell is on his feet with three men on him then tries to pull the ball into him to secure it better but loses it rather than a ball steal so should have been a knock on.I guess thats why Griffin lost his head.
On receiving a yellow card i dont think telling the ref your a F-cking joke helped

Why hard as nails? Why a forward who could well be only on the field 50% of the time?

Suppose we have to put up with your constant whinning this week. Never heard from you when we beat Wires. Gosh you boring.

Serious Question. Bonaire who do you want in the next round? What number is your team HKR?

Yeah, I never understand why people come to a forum, read/hear someone else opinion and get upset if it doesnt tally with theirs.

you are as daft as Griffin

I agree losing Griffin in the last cup tie with St’s cost us as he was in great form up until the point he was unfortunate to snap his Achilles, hardly his fault though was it, far from it.

Not excusing Griffin for today if he has indeed given Kendal some abusive language as he should have just bitten his tongue and gone in for half tine but I can understand his frustration with Kendal. Surprised no Hull player went to pull him away either.
The speed of Kendal issuing the cards was exceptional and think he could have handled the situation much better. Kendal for me seems to have bit of the Ganson god complex about him.

If Griffin has used profanity then I hope there is proof of what was said was extreme to warrant a red card.

Kendals performance for a cup quarterfinal game was shocking.
