What a horrible, niggly, thuggish game.

Thoroughly enjoyed it.

God knows what team we're gonna put out against Rovers next week. The players who aren't injured are gonna end up banned.

Loved it.

Old skool fixture that!

Think if the ref took more action on Taulapapa then it perhaps wouldn't have boiled over as much as it did. It just all went downhill from that moment.

For me the ref wasn't up to it.
If he's taken control and been even with penalties it wouldn't have got so out of hand.
The players were getting silly but he pushed the game that way.

Think that's 4 half backs out for next week and both first choice wingers. Great

Farcical. Hated watching that game towards the end. Players staying down and feining to get a penalty, then the video referee rewards them by giving a penalty, that needs to stop now.

The decision not to give Talaupapa a yellow just isn't good enough. That said, i did feel sorry for the ref when Shaul held back Briscoe forcing ref to give him a yellow, and Shaul went off smirking. It was like kids misbehaving for a supply teacher.

Knowles dropping the Hull player on his head was a sickener and should have been red at that point IMO. And Farimo surely wins this seasons dumbest play award. Awful challenge. RFL need to get a grip of what our games becoming. We use to have to so much more class than that.

As soon as Fev knew the game was over they became horrible, eventually we got dragged into it, stupid from Faraimo deserves a few games.

Ref should have taken action earlier and I would have calmed the game down.

In the hat, but a costly night for us tonight

That, my friends was how rugby league used to be played. If you think conning the ref is a new thing, watch some games from the 70s and 80s. Enjoyable game to watch.

Faraimo, Carlos, Talanoa, Kelly, Sneyd, Taylor, Bowden, Abdull, Fash, Paea, Logan and potentially Washbrook, Connor and Griffin. That’s a lot of talent out for Hull FC in the next few games.

I think you’re looking back with rose tinted specs, there was a lot if games with a lot of thuggish behaviour in the past, where I will agree is players conning penalties is becoming an issue.

Used to be? You see games like this every week in the leagues below SL.

Not suprising with teams like Fev in it.

Who had a thug sent off for the second time this season..

Faraimo a thug, give over.

That's one player who I've already condemned, was more mistimed, but contact with the head, so will get 3/4 games.

Nearly all of Fev players were trying to hurt Hull players as soon as they realise the game was over. Started with the tackle on Shaul, wheeldon on Connor then the tackles on Litten and Masi. Looked like a tactical move to slow us down and spoil the game, it certainly worked, shame as they played good rugby at times.

Agree that the Taulapapa hit on Shaul was the catalyst of it going into a slugfest.Straight red even though he didn't contact the head.As bad an impact as I've seen this season Shaul was totally smashed whilst unprepared and wouldn't be surprised if he's worse for wear now the games finished.Not even a yellow seemed to turn a fairly normal game into a war? Ref totally lost control and the players took matters into their own hands.Suppose Fc should have been more professional and not get drawn into it but that's easy to say whilst teammates are getting cheap shotted? Connor incident may draw further action? Not sure who landed a corker on Hock at the end maybe Griffin or Hadley?Plenty of referrals after this game? Lots of good tries and wasn't a bad game to watch but the ref turned that last 20min into WWE

Radfords interview on Radio Humberside is worth a listen!

Taulapapa should have had 10 minutes to cool off, but no way it was a red card. The ref lost control, and I was surprised it didn't end up with a full-blown brawl. Both teams were guilty of being drawn into some unprofessional play, but it was entertaining as a neutral to watch. The big problem with the ref was that he didn't communicate with the players. He was authoritative, but didn't gain their respect.

It was a bad one and he didn't miss.

Ref lost control.

Real shame about the injuries to Hull players, all looked honest and no bad tackles but if you're a Hull FC fan it may be a long road now this year.

No exaggerating. If we have a bad time at the disciplinary next week we could worst case scenario be missing 13 or 14 players at the magic weekend.

Sneyd
Kelly
Fash
Logan
Tuimavave
Talanoa
Bowden
Paea
Taylor

Are all injured, although I am hopeful with the last two that them not playing tonight was more precautionary than anything else. Thats not including any after effects Shaul might feel from the Talupapa hit.

Then there could be:

Faraimo
Griffin
Connor
Washbrook

All banned. Again, I dont expect the last two to get anything but who knows?

Then to top it off we have Turgut out on loan and I dont think enough time has passed to recall him.

It will be an interesting 19 man squad next week.

I’m awaiting all the fans from fev up in arms at the brutal nature of the game like they did after we played them in the cup and Rangi Chase put an illegal shot on Ropati. I doubt it though, the great unwashed don’t have long memories. Well done Hull.

Good luck against Saints.....

Who is left?!

Good question. I think we can just about stump up a half decent pack. Christ knows what the back line is going to look like though.

Likely to be a few debuts handed out I reckon.
