And you buddy,
short kick offs last year were ridiculous and once more we are putting ourselves under more pressure losing valuable yardage, especially on a boggy pitch we’re making ground is difficult enough.
Although at last we saw some structure down the left side, and we looked occasionally as we had a plan, to me, as in most positions in our side we need quality centres who can put the wingers away, just dreaming I guess.

| Putting the red card and referee decisions to one side, I thought it was a much better performance last night. We looked like we had a bit of direction and we went toe to toe with Warrington when it was 13 v 13. In fact I'd say we were the better team in the first half.
Going forward I want to see Brown at hooker, and I'd be really considering putting Houghton at 13 with Balmforth as the bench hooker. I thought he showed up well again. He's rough around the edges but he can clearly offer something at this level. I also saw enough in that one game to say Staveley should be ahead of Lane, who again offered nothing.
I'm definitely feeling more positive than I was last week. We need to put in a professional performance against London next week, and then we will hopefully start to get a few troops back. I still think there's a decent side in there somewhere, and it was really encouraging that all the youngsters really stood up well.

TS loves a short kick off,
I remember a couple of seasons ago Rovers where at home to Catalans and leading 8 nil, Catalans forced a drop out, we went short even though we were winning 8 nil, they scored from it. Next drop out we went short again and same result.
Its a ploy that comes off occasionally yes but not often enough,

| Still absolutely raging as a RL fan about the Nu Brown send off, but it's also disgusting how much sympathy I had for Hull FC last night!! Which shows the level of obscenity these "rules" have created.
We're all gonna be affected by this, infact in an odd way its extraordinary how the game off the pitch finds these ways to shoot itself in its foot. It's an incredible achievement in a roundabout way

I think that’s the point most players, pundits, fans and sponsors alike are unified on over the Nu Brown card in that it seriously impacts the game and sport we all love massively and in the wrong way.
If this continues how much longer are the stakeholders of the game going to stick around before they also say enough is enough?
We all agree that players need protecting but a combination of the RFL not consulting the players on changes and implenting rule changes, the officials and their inability to be consistent in applying the rules and common sense topped off with the MRP run by Cullen with ridiculous bans shows total and utter incompetence and they should be and need to be held accountable for the mess they’ve created.
In over 40yrs of both playing and watching this sport I don’t think I’ve ever know a time when a decision made in the field by an official has unified so many people across all sectors of the game , the fact it has shows that the game is royally b0ll0xed if the RFL do not address this here and now.

| State firstly I am a Warrington fan….
You guys were MASSIVELY done last night by probably the WORST officiating I have ever seen.
Red Card !!! FFS no way, I wouldn’t even have said that warranted a yellow, it was accidental….blimey even the South Stand was booing the decision..
Thewlis tackle over the line…..how on earth was that not both a Penalty Try & a Yellow ?
Our Penalty Try ???? I really couldn’t justify that in any way shape or form.
I turned off after that as the telly would have been put in.
Wilkin is right…RFL are KILLING this game with death by a 1000 cuts.
Just watch how attendances fall over the Season.
Been saying for last 3 Seasons, officiating is poor, amateur and killing the game. RFL, simply not fit for purpose.
Feel sorry for those that travelled as till the Red, you guys were playing some good rugby, in shocking conditions.
Hollow victory….

| Just seem a video on Twitter of Sutcliffe running into the ref and knocking him over when tracking back for a Warrington try. It's an absolute load of nothing but still wouldn't surprise me at all if he ends up with a ban for it.

We've certainly seen bans for that before.

I’d agree as the fall out from Browns Red is already bad enough and more than most of us have ever seen in the game, if the RFL misread the room on this and double down it will create an almost atomic meltdown across the game as whole.
Though the worrying thing is we all know just how out of touch with reality the RFL and the MRP are with the game they are supposed to up hold and govern so anything is possible as the saying goes “the lunatics have taken over the asylum’

| By the letter of the laws it was a red card. Not debatable. However the law is clearly wrong, accidents happen and if Brown had the cut would Currie be sent off? Crazy night. I don’t thing Hull would have won so the result outcome is the same. Warrington are a poor side, unfit. And clueless. Hull need some luck but the first two games shows little prospect of anything other than bottom 4.

| If players from the same team accidentally clash heads will one of them be sent off?
