So shows more incompetence on the officials parts? Rules are the player has to have left the field? Unless thats since changed like the Penalty Try rule (which is now apparently interpretation rather than guaranteed score. I personally dont think FC should be punished in any way. Lineham was clearly trying to leave the field the correct way, was told by whomever to leave via the east stand touchline, should never have been allowed on, thats the 4th officials fault in my book.

Lineham was not interferring with the game and playing no active part in it. The lad was struggling to limp off the field and the physio gave a signal back to the dugout that he wad about to step off the pitch. If the sub came on a couple of seconds before this I have no issue and banging on about it looks silly.

The inability to judge forward passes (a basic rule for our game) by the officials is getting beyond a joke. Wigan last week, the Huddersfield game vs Wigan on Friday and our own derby yesterday are just small examples. We scream about ours because we watch our team closely but this base rules of our game is misjudged all the time in every game. Why not either get rid, ban flat passes abd momentum rules or get better officials?

I suppose you could say that this is the only aspect of the game that is currently moving forward

twitters for twits and tw@s ................ cackamala is a class word

There is no 'momentum rule'. Stevo made it up.

Flat passes are perfectly legal and how would you ban them anyway? If officials can't spot forward passes they aren't going to be any better at spotting flat passes.

The only way to remove momentum from consideration is to either change the laws of physics or make the players slow down to a walk when passing the ball. Neither works.

Or we could just say like we did before SL. If it looks forward/flat, its forward.

Josh Hodgson to Wire just popped up on our board by a Saints fan ??

One that doesnt seem to go away. We have re-signed Carlile, Withers will be going so we'd need a replacement. Cant blame Josh if he does to be fair. Would become and England International imho if he did. Currently playing second row whilst we have a number out. Nothing confirmed for staying or going, is under contract mind so would require a fee.

You'd think it'd take a big fee for J.Hodgson, given his value to us and that he'd be hard to replace.
When Carlile re-signed he talked about sharing hooking duties with JH, so either he and the media team didn't know about it or it isn't or wasn't in the pipeline.
Sean Gleeson talked about looking forward to playing with Blake Green last year, when his signing was announced, so things can change. I certainly hope not in this instance!

Josh signed an extension in the last few months so I would have thought its highly unlikely.

The law covering forward passes is the same now as it's always been.

this is a rumours thread so go bore everybody somewhere else

There you go - back on topic.

The way you talk to F90 and argue with him makes me wonder whether you have some sort of weird attraction to him.

Nothing wrong with F90 doesn't harm anyone people on here nark me off

Fine £300K and he is yours.

So where's our new scrum half then? Smiffys been back from Aus for a couple of weeks now. This would lead me to suspect that the move for Keating hasn't come off.

You'd have thought with the derby loss and ever growing injury list that Rovers would want to publish some positive news about anything sharpish.

Kris Keating signed for 3 years...[url=http://www.hullkr.co.uk/on-the-pitch/news/article/robins-swoop-for-keating1=#0040FFOfficial[/url

Been signed for weeks ..........

Rumours of an international winger coming your way..................

Is it Theo Walcott?

As I know Lovegroves parent's post on here now and again, is there any truth he's got a offer in the NRL?

Thought it was his Grandma, not really going to substantiate are they?

Where's the offer from Sheldon?

Hopefully I've asked that in a benign enough fashion for you not to have another big hissy fit.

I'm always in a hissy fit.

Heard it was the Knights.

No hes not ginger
