GAME ON Friday 16th of April 2021 : Hull Kingston Rovers v Huddersfield Giants - 19:45:00

GENERAL CHAT ABOUT THE GAME, BUILD UP, THE ACTION AS IT HAPPENS AND AFTERMATH BELOW.

With Sezer giants win

Without sezer giants lose.

He's too big a player to be put in the squad and not play.

The quote Willie mason WTF was that. 7 seconds

Sezor did not even want to know there

Well if thats a no dry after Gaskells dive we, have just given every player a license for football style diving

Awful decision for the disallowed try for me

Gaskell wants a stern talking to after that dive.

100% agreed & whilst not liking to be too critical that looked to be a disgraceful dive.

What the hell!!! Even as a Hull FC fans Rovers have been robbed by two decision tonight and Kendal is a disgrace with the two decisions

Which Kendall are we seeing tonight? The RFL Employee or the Ex Huddersfield Academy player and Hudds season ticket holder?

This is just gotten well passed ridiculous. Rovers are being robbed blind, and I’m an FC fan.

As a giants fan I cannot believe those decisions if I was a rovers fan I would be fuming

Certainly makes you wonder with those two decisions especially considering he’s over turned the on field decisions on both occasions.

After last night and tonight Kendell should be no where near a game again ever.

Justice done in the end, great play by Ethan Ryan.

Questions need to be asked about Kendall tonight as those decisions were absolutely disgraceful. Gaskell should have been binned for trying to cheat by throwing himself to the ground and the knock on by McQueen been given just took the P15S

Justice done in the end but those decisions from Kendal were nothing short of disgraceful - blatant cheating

On field ref also at fault for not having the guts to make decisions rather than referring them to the video ref. Regarding the Rovers no try, given that neither player caught the ball Gaskell could just as well have been guilty of obstructing the Rovers player. Two ridiculous decisions. Rovers right side defence was terrible though.

Exciting game though .

Gaskell should have been binned for his pathetic dive

it makes good and interesting viewing for the neutrals,, but kendall has become arrogant and cocky he should be relegated to championship for a while,, if me or you made them decisions in our jobs we would be sacked

Certainly was for Hudds thanks to Kendall.

I don't think it does, it makes a mockery of the rules of the game and would put fans off

he needs to start again from the under 16s

Whilst not suggesting that a referee is not beyond criticism IMHO attention should be on the action on players/coaches. Others have mentioned Soccer that I personally have zero interest in one reason being players diving/conning the officials and then everyone blaming them for getting it wrong which makes no sense to me. I just hope we (including the fans) do not follow that "sport" in a race to the bottom.

Tend to agree with this. In my mind the decision to rule out a perfectly fair try because Gaskell threw himself to the floor will negativity impact the sport unless the RFL deal with it swiftly.
To deal with it the RFL have to state that this sort of action by players will not be tolerated in the game and ideally ban Gaskell for at least a game. A strong message needs to be sent out and quickly otherwise it won’t be long before players are diving and going down like they’ve been shot before too long and we will be no better than football. It’s already crept in with players dropping at the PTB to try and con refs to earn a penalty or set restart.

Officials also need to be given advice and assistance from experienced and respected former players of the game in understanding what’s genuine and what isn’t.
