To give a penalty try you have to be certain that a try would have been scored without the foul play. There were a lot of Hull players in the vicinity who could have got there first, and even if Hall had got the ball he still had to ground it with defenders on him. It should have been a penalty for sure, but you just can't give penalty try for that.

Cheers for fronting up and giving credit.

One of the things I enjoyed about today's game, other than the score, was a relatively tidy ruck. Players were making an obvious effort to roll away and there was none of this moving off the mark and stepping over players to milk a penalty nonsense.

3 year deal I read.

Where have all the dummy runners come from?!
It’s like watching a different team.

We went 10 years searching for a quality half back, only to end up with three top class ones.
Sneyd is a big game player, Kelly is the best stand off I’ve seen play for Hull in 40 years of watching, and Connor is a supreme talent who can be anything he wants to be

Some unsavoury scenes with 10 minutes or so to go with a flare and bottles being thrown. Social media reporting a child hospitalised.

Thaler made clear early on any messing about wouldn’t be tolerated. Hope it’s a league wide crackdown.

Tbf, if you have been reading the same things as me, I doubted it's validity. My first thought was that it's highly unlikely that they would have had glass bottles in the ground. My second thought was that 86 stitches is a little excessive.

Definitely a bottle thrown right after one of our trys while the lads were celebrating in goal. Think it might have been Paea's try.

I counted 4, then Sky stopped showing replays on the big screen, policy nowadays apparently.

Bottles were thrown at the players yes, but not glass ones, and Mrs B refers to a young fan.

There was around 10 bottles thrown altogether, some at the players and some thrown into East stand fans, one of the bottles thrown at the players almost hit an old cameraman. Then a flare came on.

Bad losers, And that doesn't go for the mojority of Rovers fans, who didn't misbehave, just a few idiots as usual.

Never saw anything about number of stitches, just that a child was injured and receiving hospital treatment. I saw about 4 bottles and was near the flare, saw a bit of fans posturing but didn't see any injuries.

Fair enough but I wish you had seen the penalty try Thaler once awarded against us at Wakefield a while back. The ball had been kicked into the in goal area the Wakefield player was nudged out of the way after he kicked it and with no Wakefield player anywhere near Rovers kicked the ball dead. We were told afterwards that a penalty try can be awarded if IN THE OPINION OF THE REFEREE a try would have been scored and so if Thaler thought it would have been a try then it was a try. No bull I reckon it was a 1 in 10 chance the Wakey player would have scored but Thaler thought different so was within his rights to award a penalty try.

I reckon Hall would have got to the ball first of course you can never be sure he would have and you can't be sure he would have grounded the ball IN MY OPINION he would have so if I was the ref it's a penalty try. Seeing as though Thaler saw no fault in the Hull player hooking his arm around Hall's and pulling him back then he was never going to look further.

Hey it sounds like I am making excuses and I suppose I am. We were poop today and it was you who made us look that way. Well done and congratulations.

The only reference to it I have seen was someone saying about a young fan being hit by a bottle and needing 86 stitches. I assumed it was just someone taking the p*** . If anyone has been injured though I hope there is nothing too serious.

Regardless of whether anyone was hurt or not it is beyond me why anyone would throw anything. Scum.

My understanding of penalty try has always been that it has to be a virtual certainty. That's why they are so rare.

If IN THE OPINION OF THE REFEREE a try would have been scored it is a penalty try. ATEOTD it can only be a matter of opinion and the only relevant opinion is that of the referee who in this case didn't even see the offence in the first place.

I'm thinking of putting a bet on a double of FC beating Saints and Rovers beating Wire on Monday what do you reckon?

Save your money Bob.

i've seen a facebook thread saying a rovers fan threw a glass bottle outside the stadium which hit a young boy, who was also a rovers fan. the boy had to have some surgery which went well. Post seemed to come from a family member. I'll try to find it again - to see if it has developed as a hoax or not

Mmm - facebook posts appear to have been deleted. draw your own conclusions

Full match is on tube if anyone missed it!

What can one say, we were stronger, faster, fitter, smarter, and just for Radders “LOUDER” from start to finish, destroying our very quiet neighbors from start to finish.

Bit worried about HFC Boy, Sebasteeno and Bombed Out. None of them posted since the win. Hope they are OK?

We’re on a roll, without playing our best, it is only two points but boy it shuts a few gobs up, we destroyed rovers today, our crowd was fantastic, murder in the miday sun. COYH

What a fantastic few hours in the sun! A great result and a superb atmosphere. Think the confidence our guys will take from that will be huge. Nice to see Jack Logan get the 3 tries after the struggles he's had over the last couple of years.

Oh, and I know it's easy to praise the referee when you've won, but I thought Thaler had a good game overall and got the level on intervention/letting the game flow about right.

Well done Radders and all the boys.

PS. Mrs B - you shouldn't have worried so much
