[quote="Jake the Peg":2bi2sa42]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[/quote:2bi2sa42] Kendall good for us reffing, is a sentence I’ve never seen before Jake, but I do take your point. 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

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

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

regarding the KR-Cas game, it seems Cas' players reaction from last week was clear and they had something to prove, trouble is can they do it every week, i doubt it with their current squad, also could be a case that the dobbins thought it would be a walk in the park and didnt give Cas the respect they deserved
