Careful Andy, your mask is s-s-slipping already.

I’m brain dead, but you consider a broken jaw the product of the worst ever challenge in rugby league.... not a broken neck or anything...... To$$er

This was a bad tackle and should have been a red card for me, a yellow card at an absolute minimum. It was only when the ref let this go that the game got out of hand. Both the ref and players are at fault for that. I expect several suspensions to be handed out.

I think you either watched that game with eyes closed or with just the clear Fev bias you display. The "high" shot on Briscoe, look again, Houghton tackles him fairly and he then bounces off Sike Manu. No contact to the head yet a penalty was awarded. If you really think Hull were "getting away with so much", you are clearly not an objective viewer of this game.


Featherstone have been renowned for rough house tactics for many years. They see a reckless collision by Taulapapa go unpunished and they up the niggle to spoiling levels.

That some on this and other threads are having a go at Jake Connor for winding up the opposition and actually think he should be disciplined for it is laughable. Andy Gregory made a career out of it.

Unfortunately Mickey Mouse won't be one of them. He was the catalyst for all the thuggery (from both sides) that followed.

So you expect a red card for smirking, but a yellow card for creaming someone who never had the ball...

Just look at that for a second, think about the balance and whether you're really being objective, then look back through the rest of your rubbish you've just posted. Maybe even watch the game with both eyes open. But everything you've said is pretty much the most biased view of a game I've ever seen!

I'd suggest you re-watch the game with your eyes open and your black and white specs firmly locked in a drawer; and preferably with the sound turned down. Hull were not innocent of niggling by any stretch of the imagination.

Where did I say they weren't?
Like the game, you're seeing things that aren't there.

Have we? Is that before or after the period of time where we ran rings round the Championship for a few years? Grand finals excepted as we know they're not Powell's strong suit.

Yes

I have seen this comment a few times and don't agree with it at all. I think in the 10-15 minutes that followed the Taulapapa incident, there was only one penalty (Briscoe's professional foul which earned a yellow card) and no obvious "niggle". The real trouble started in the aftermath of Faraimo's breakaway try, when there was an incident back in Hull's half of the field just after he had touched down. It's not clear from TV pictures what caused that, but the real niggle started after that.

The real niggle started when it became clear to Hull that Fev weren't just going to roll over and die. IMO Misi's tackle was bad, but it wasn't high, it perhaps deserved a yellow. But then so did the high tackle on Briscoe earlier, which went completely unpunished.
Anyway I don't think Misi was early, it was just that the ball was late (joke)

Cannon ball tackles and Chicken wings are not high, but they both put players in danger of serious injury.

Shaul is looking up, will not be braced for the impact he received as he would never catch the ball if he were tensed up for the the collision. It was reckless play.

Featherstone player got a 2 game ban for the 'tackle on Shaul. Well played ref

You'd rolled over and died within 15 minutes. The niggle started when you knew you had no chance

Good. it will stop open season on full backs before it starts. Shocking "tackle"

Rubbish and if you're honest with yourself you'll admit it. Fev got caught cold. But once they started putting up a bit of resistance Hull started the mucky stuff.
BTW who thinks Shaul pretending to have scored, then running in under the posts is an invite for players to commit fouls and then claim they weren't sure the player had grounded the ball. Hull were up to all the 'old man. tricks.

Are you David Blunkett?

So, are you really blaming a player for improving a kicking angle as to why Featherstone are a shockingly disciplined outfit?

You are right, how dare Shaul try and improve the angle for kicker.

If Fev hadn't resorted to their tactics (And Hull being stupid and reacting) and Hull got injuries we would have beat Fev by 50 at least.

Altough it has backfired as they have lost two key players for some big games

NO. He pretended to ground the ball and then ran under the posts. Next time when he does ground it someone will clatter him and the hypocritical codeds will be calling for an eight point try and a yellow.

Give over, you're making yourself look silly now.

Shaul does that all the time, he's not on his own though, there's quite a few that feign dotting the ball down sometimes to improve the conversion angle and sometimes just to be d1ck1sh.
Best thing to do is not take any chances, smash the living **** out of them no matter what, they'll soon knock that on the head.

LOL, what an imbecile you have made yourself look.

Are you suggesting that a player should not improve the angle for the kicker?

And are you seriously suggesting that an opponent should go into injury another player just because that are about to score?

Not only is that idiotic, but it would ultimately result in an 8 point try.

yeah, that's clearly what I'm saying, I mean..anyone can see that, obviously you can't improve the angle, they should go in and tackle the player with the express intent to injure and why stop at 8 points....make it 20, just for the laugh.

Not until he plays another team of championship thugs
