[quote="The Dentist Wilf":icq89s4d]Except to potentially show our game in a poor light to a potentially wider audience on the BBC[/quote:icq89s4d] They’ll say it was justified as you’d think the RFL will now fast track it or whatever to avoid the same embarrassment for the Leeds game but still the wrong way to go about it IMO.

[quote="odd shaped balls":ndabcuxn]You can’t watch it from the sofa….according to some on here your not a fan.People have reasons for not going but get slagged off on here.[/quote:ndabcuxn] When you enter the forum arena, you must be prepared for criticism, rightly or wrongly, if you can’t accept this, then possibly don’t participate.

In a way I think it may be good for us that kendal is reffing (other than he hates us ) as catalans are the 2nd worst team (dobbins worst obviously) for cheating, lying on, rolling around feigning injury, waving their arms about appealing for penalties and just general shiithousery. Hopefully he clamps down on it when they start

People have their own lives and can do what they want with their money but they should also be open to a bit of grief if they don't actually put their money into the club like the rest of us yet come on here complaining

When was the last time we managed to win while he was in charge.

I'm struggling to remember any ref we've won a game with in recent years

[quote="Jake the Peg":1109vzly]I'm struggling to remember any ref we've won a game with in recent years[/quote:1109vzly] Lol, the great ref, Ronnie Campbell always seemed to have Hull in his heart.

certainly not fred lindiop who got a CC winners medal in 1980

[quote="Riderofthepalehorse":18no9uh3]Or was it Felicity, buggered if I can remember now.[/quote:18no9uh3] Rear of the Year, 1981. How the world has moved on.

Kendall for some reason seems to find the smallest offences when he is reffing us. Does anybody actually know when and if we have won a game with him in charge? Anyway last nights game was free of ref interference. I doubt very much if ours will be the same.

30 years old and on a Thursday to Sunday trip from half way on Hessle Road (how much did we drink on those trips) felt a real sense that we were robbed and watched it back so many times since and we were. But it was certainly a sombre old night in the Prince of Wales in Drewery lane!

Fash v Rovers (2024) was Fash being totally petulant looking for a fight, so his own fault. Griffen v Sts in the Cup ( 2023) although frustrating, was Griffen’s fault, he should have just kept his mouth shut and gone off for HT. Gale v Sts (2023) was a careless kick and followed by trying to pick Lomax up. So we can’t blame Kendall for any of those. Can’t remember the other incidents. However, a bit of perspective is sometimes a good thing. If any of the above cards had happened in during other teams’ matches I doubt we would have disagreed with the decision.

Storm are on the board. Great looking crowd for a trial game.

I thought Kendal had a decent game last night , Rapana could have easily got a card for the challenge with the knees imo. Thaler took an age to come to any decision last night , Far to long

The decision where Cats used there captains challenge was painful to watch when they kept cutting to a different angle

[quote="Faithful One":3irhrh0n]Don't think the TV operators helped.

'Can you hear me now?'

I wondered if they were French operators because they were very envasive with their angles etc when reviewing Catalan stuff
