In his post match interview Sandercock criticises the officials for gifting wakefield 12 points. I think he is forgetting that one of the Hull KR tries came from a forward pass, and it must have been forward for radio Humberside to point it out.
However he does mention that Hodgson and Horne have been taken to hospital following incidents after the try has been scored, ie players sliding in with the knees. If mathers has slid in with the knees he does deserve a suspension. It is something which happens week in week out in Super League, Tomkins Webb and Owen all our guilty of it, however the ref's never seem to pick it up. Sliding in with the knees is a penalty in any part of the pitch and it shouln't take injuries for this rule to be enforced. It does however take a competent and often brave official.

Horne has a broken cheekbone so I'm told. If mathers was late and deliberate I'm not sure we'll see him again this year

Could be Lee Smith to full back and young Cowling back to centre then.

Mr Sandercock blames the officials week in, week out, I wouldn't think anything of it if I was you.

We must be one of the spawniest teams going,every time a team gets beat by us the ref's a tw&t!Ah well.

Don't think anything of two players going to hospital for late collisions. Are you freaking mad?

Quite obviously he is yes. No place for this in the game, its tough enough without that. Hope the 2 KR players are OK.

Too right, if foul play has been used then bans should be given.

To be fair Richard Agar also had a little rant about Silverwood and the way he controlled the play the balls.....he also had a little moan last week aswell....

It's becoming a regular theme now with coaches straight after matches....referee's are an easy target, as you wouldn't have heard Mike Rush last week bagging the two Saints players who coughed up possession in their half in the closing minutes.....same as you wouldn't have heard Sandercock blaming Scott Taylor (was it?) for coughing up vital possessiom today to allow us the field position to kick the winning drop goal....

The harsh reality is that those plays and errors from players were the gamebreakers, but as I say much easier to blame a referee who's got a few calls through the game wrong....for both teams again may I add....

Think there needs to be a meeting taking place very soon with Mr Cummings, referee's and coaches to iron these attacks on refs out of the game.....doing the sport no good at all IMO and it's getting boring and predictable, especially when we've won a game...

To be fair to OLD_FAITHFUL I think he was referring to Sandercocks moaning about the game.

Regardless of rivalries no one wants to see players injured and hope Horne & Hodgson are ok

He's on about his usual post match ref whinge tbf.

This is a worrying trend in the game and needs clamping down on, Mathers isn't on his own, as said above plenty of players are doing it. Not in the spirit of the game for me and for that reason I hope Mathers is punished. This takes nothing away from your victory though.

No need for it in this game and if Mathers is guilty of doing it he deserves to face the music.

The second one looked accidental to me but the first one happened in a different orbit so can't comment on it.

I'll reserve judgement until I've watched Fulltime later - it happened very quickly and was impossible to judge at the time.

If Mathers went in with the knees, he deserves to be dealt with; the difficulty with it though, is that tackles over the line are never pretty and it's a regular occurrence to see players using whatever body part they can to prevent the ball being grounded.

Either way, I hope both players are ok and for his own sake, I wish Mr Sandercock would learn the appropriate place and time to air his views.

Does it count as an injury at work that was not his own fault? If so hudgel could be quids in!

Mathers has apologised to Horne on twitter, saying he was just trying to kick the ball out. Horne says everything is ok, just a shiner and wishes Richie best of luck.

Ironically says the person who cannot read properly.





Cheers lads, it's obviously not good to see any player injured.

Mathers has always done it, as did a lot of the Leeds team around that 2004-2006 period. Dirty barsterwards. FWIW, the 2nd one did look accidently, not seen the first, but the cheap shots after a players scored need to be clamped down on.

Not keen on fullbacks using knees/feet as attacker goes to score either but if people are going to take issue with it they should look at players such as Tomkins, Billy slater etc because alot of fullbacks do it, it's hardly an isolated incident

Now I've seen the incidents on sky he has no case to answer.
He was going for ball on one and was trying to jump out of the way on other.
Horne said he was ok with it on Twitter.

Agree just posted this on another topic. Just watched the Mathers incident, nothing in them at all imo, he tried to kick the ball out when HKR kicked through but caught Horne, 50/50 incident and was within his right to go for the ball. The second one is nothing at all and I'm surprised anything has been made of it, HKR player scored and Mathers jumped over him and caught the players arm trying to avoid him.

They went in on Fox after his try at the end of the 1st half

Aye but nothing really in that either, just too late to prevent the try.

Sanderc*ck also says Fox was offside for his try.
Well I watched Suprleague Fulltime last night and you can clearly see Fox is way onside.

I don't expect he will come out and apologise or take his comments back tho'.
