EGP - 2 matches!!!

RFL strictly come dancing committee are massively inconsistent - got to believe it is incompetence rather than conspiracy, but we are seen as rebels now by RFL after voting against hetheringtons at restructure , and adams frank and honest comments about shambles at RFL over last year or so

but if you consider we were highest penalised side in SL for first 4 games perhaps we should consider the RFL citing committee were tasked to watch closely our last 2 games and found 17 instances worth following up - maybe our poor discipline early on cost us not just losses but also a target for RFL.

maybe we are a bit our own worst enemy when taking on the governing body

no paea and ellis as suspended makes radders job a little bit harder as these two are 100% effort and professional on and off field.

my honest belief is that we may have to suffer another season or 2 of mediocrity before the investment in youth brings us the halfback we have needed for 6 years to be a top 4 side. I know adam said mediocrity would not be a measure of success while he is at club but he maybe underestimated the mess and underinvestment he inherited and it took wigan year to turn around their structure to now relying on local talent.

I personally think this plan to rely on building a team based on local talent is a good one. I just hope the club and the fans have the stomach and patience to let it come to fruition. Unfortunately I can see performances like Sunday and the prospect of relegation seeing fans voting with their feet rather than sticking by the club through more mediocrity. Which would probably result in another change of tactics by AP.

I give in.

It's going to end up being RU.

Sadly, I'm rapidly drifting towards this view point. They've always been a bit questionable, but just looking at the incidents on Whiting (& Crooks) getting warnings and other players getting banned, or ignored totaly its becoming increasingly hard to see any other view. Its not like they have a split second and one view from a possibly questionable angle to make a decision, which can could possibly use as an excuse for a ref missing it.

Can we just break off and form our own league so we aren't forced to watch the drivel that the RFL is slowly but surely turning this game in to anymore. It worked in 1895? :/

Or go all French Revolution on them and storm the Bastille (Red Hall).

It's beyond a joke.

I have long held that view and its another reason why this sport is a joke amongst serious sports like RU and Football.

The whole sport sport does not speak with one voice for a start unlike every other sport RL is slipping further and further behind RU. It now commands an increase on tv deals and is growing we get the same deal until 2020+. The sport will struggle on, but its in decline the amateur game is shrinking as is the pro game.

Its a joke and I prefer RL to Union as a sport to watch, but things like this cancel it out.

No Ellis no Paea probably no Carvell can only see a Salford victory.

how do we the fans of both hull clubs make the rfl take notice of our gripe? non attendance at away games for starters leeds widness and wakefield bet gary kath n jim will not like that. i am sure a few other clubs would miss the income fc and kr bring .still the 2 biggest away following

Apparently Thaler thought it could have been a red card for the tackle on Whiting, but couldn't decide which of the three was at fault, so didn't bother doing any of them. Precedent set there. Multiple offenders, just a caution. Stinks tbh.

Send them all off, deal with the repercussions after. The message about dangerous tackles needs to sent out.

I'm watching the ask the ref tweets too. As you say provided you spear tackle with the help of at least one of your mates all should be ok. The game has become a joke.

They actually said that? Wow. That's just...wow.

.@Weroamtherange (1/2) Sadly, we can’t sin bin for this offence, I totally agree that this incident could have been a dismissal #asktheref

.@Weroamtherange 2/2 but as 3 players in tackle was hard to determine who was at fault only option is to put incident on report & penalise

that's what we're up against I'm afraid.

Jesus jumping Christ. Send them all off, or just pick the one that looked most likely. And if it warranted a sending off, didn't it warrant more than a warning from the panel? Fuck me.

I can only assume that the RFL is run by Union lovers who are determined to destroy our sport. It really is about time like minded clubs got together to tell the RFL to stick it and then set up their own league.

This times 1000

that is absolutely staggering least in the footy the ref sends someone off, not the right someone but its a punishment, sad how low the game is sinking

Neil Hudgell on Twitter is fuming saying the panel is not fit for purpose and asking the Mail to run the Poore incident and the Richard Whiting spear tackle on their web site to show the injustice in both!! Richard Whiting lamenting the injustice and inconsistency of it all after that tackle in his Mail feature tomorrow

There's a dangerous level of agreement between us and Rovers at the moment, but I also agree with Hudge

Saw that too Wilf. Hudgell is right to make a statement tomorrow. The guy at the centre of the review panel is Steve Ganson as far as I know - it certainly was him last year and I assume this year too. Taking all thought of bias etc out of the equation would anyone really trust a guy with a career littered with incompetency to head up an important judicial style process requiring transparency and an ability to follow due procedure? I know my answer.

the kr fans on the their board seem to think it was a bad one by Poore .

That's not the point though, it's that others have gotten away with similar incidents.

if the rfl coulldnt decide which player from widnes was guilty of the tackle on whiting, all 3 should have copped 1 game minimum!
