Started well. Tries to O'Brien and Ferguson. HKR came back. 12-18 at h-t.

Seems to be a bit of ill feeling out there after O'Brien got smacked. 2 in the sin bin and squaring up again on the hooter.

Awesome try by Addy. Great play from Fleming and Mellor. 18-18

18-22 slack defence around the ruck

18-28 dodgy try. Looked like a blatent 2 on 1 steal on Addy. Hkr race away and score.

Gaskell try. 24-28

Walshaw in!

Shaw converts 30-28

Didn't take the kick off. Hkr score in the corner.

30-34

30-38

30-42 not dealing with these kicks at all.

30-44

30-50 at the death.

Rathers flatters hkr does that.

I agree it ended up how I thought it would but it certainly didn't feel like a 20pt margin game though well played

I did'nt think we would win our mistakes were capitalised by HKR if it had not been for that i think we would have done it. as normal the ref was very poor i just wonder how long it will take the RFL to do something about it...... probability never

Refs again? Sounds like you want your refs wearing red amber and black glasses all the time.

The essential difference was that he was incompetent but neutral.....not like a certain Mr Cobb who was incompetent and biased.
I don't suppose the ref today can improve without getting more feedback and more games. It's not like we are awash with people wanting to take the job on.

M Thomason is a superleague ref, What more do you want. You lot are just obsessed with referees. There was a some strange decisions yesterday at LSV, But hey ho that's life, and no one from either side are complaining. If you feel the ref has determined the result,then you haven't done enough.

Well I'm not sure I would accuse him of costing the game but he did fail to make the correct decision on a couple of fairly crucial calls. But I'm not going to lose too much sleep about the result, the performance was on the whole a pleasing one given the team available.

And to be fair, he is only refereeing SL games due to not having enough FT SL refs to cover all the matches.

Then he's getting enough matches then,is he not.?

We didn't do enough. I don't blame the ref for that as Hull K R were slightly better overall.

Fair comment that.

The strip was a 1 on 1, the ball was out before the 2nd tackler came in. Was a bit dodgy for us for a long time and the score flattered us in the end.

Good performance from you today,was well impressed with o'brien and thought sidlow was good as well.I also feel the score flattered us in the end because with 20 to go the result was in the balance.The playoffs could be very interesting this year,hope we avoid the middle 8,and think we will.

Any idea what led up to the Walker punch as it seemed to come out of nowhere. ...... or should I first ask whether there was a punch.

It wasn't a punch. Flat hand off.
