Hull lost because our defence was awful.
Leeds won because the ref was awful.

Both teams were awful in defence. No-one deserved to win really. But the game was ruined at the beginning by some awful refereeing decisions that gifted Leeds possession which ultimately led to tries. The way the game went, had Hull been gifted similar decisions in similar positions, the score could have been the exact opposite.

Hull need to toughen up. Decisions go against all teams at some point. It's getting on with it that counts. We can't gain any confidence at all in the face of adversity, whereas the better teams can. This is the difference. You can have all the talent in the world, but if your head goes down that talent becomes pointless. Psychology really isn't a part of our game, and it really should be.

Leave Leeds to worry about themselves. They can't take much confidence from that game as they were pushed all the way by a poor and understrength Hull side with two early injuries and some very favourable referees decisions. It's up to us now to respond in a positive way. Unfortunately, I feel it will be the same old story next week against Cas (i.e. we won't use Houghton, Thorman will still start, as will Graeme Horne, and Whiting will be dropped as will Moa). Read Schofield's column in the Star today, and it was tosh as usual, but the only thing that I did agree with was about when he mentioned Agar likes his players to be robots, which is why it appears he doesn't like Whiting to start and why he does like Radford at loose!

I wouldn't if I were you, it will all end in tears. Cause and effect and all that

FORWARD lol

Isn't a tear over there a flood in Hull?!


Put the butterfly back in the box!

We never had the rub of the green and were bloody awful for the first 30 minutes but after that to Hull's credit they got stuck in and made a game of it.I will be happy if we can recapture that second half form in which we played some great rugby at times.All we have to do now is have a good go for the remainder of the season.To point the finger at the ref for our own first half failings is just nonsense.Best team won at the end of the day but we can take alot of positives from the game and hopefully get a roll on.

As a neutral that was the most disgusting, horrific and lame refereeing performance I've seen in a long time, Leeds first 12 points came on the back of a missed forward pass by Burrow then later on in the half the ball was ripped out, the ref gave knock on and Leeds went onto score, also the Manu try getting disallowed..Sinfield made an effort to tackle the dummy runner(King) realised he'd ballsed it up then threw his arms in the air, I slated you last week when you played us but I thought you were great today and if it wasn't for the referee you'd have had a great chance to win.

Thanks for your un-biased comments, although we did contribute to our own downfall early on the ref never helped either

I dont think it was the ref's fault in all honesty the main official who never gave us anything was the touch judge on the East Stand side for the 1st half.

For the forward pass Smith looked at him and he didnt signal anything.

The Hall try again the touch judge said there was nothing wrong with it.

The Thackray ball strip, the same touchy gave the call as a knock on not Smith.

Replying after 7 pages?

Wow.

Unbiased blinkered free sense at last

Sore losers or what.

have you read the previous 9 pages?

Yes. It was all the refs fault.

Bless.

obviously you havn't

as many have posted, poor defence and concentration lost us the first half, not helped by poor decisions from the officials, as pointed out by press, radio and tv!

if these decisions went against your team, i'm sure you would be pointing them out too

Everyone gets decisions against them. Thing was, even when he got decisions right the know nowts were booing. Hardly strengthens your case.



I would point them out but I wouldnt be claiming robbery or booing correct decisions.





Your fans need to read the rules.

if every one played to the rules, including the ref and officials it would be a perfect world, and we'd have no forums to whinge and moan. but seeing as leeds are perfect you probably don't on your forum

If you can read and understand what is being posted it was our poor defence e.g. for Sinfield's try and down Graeme Horne's wing but the ref made some crucial decisions which contributed to the final score; the first try should never have been given for example

You are indeed......A pudding!!!......BOY!

You forgot Senior trying to decapatate Gaz Raynor.....I can't believe the TJ never raised his flag for that one. Smith wouldn't have seen it as he was running the other way at the time????

???? Senior knew what he had just done 'cos you could see himn saying sorry to Gaz......IN FRONT OF THE EASTSTAND TJ FFS!!!!!

As a Rovers fan, how do you have a cheek - seriously?

You thinking of the same game as me?

I am.

An example please...



That's funny, because your fans seem to think that there was something wrong with the Gareth Raynor try on your board!

maybe this thread should be re-named

4 decisions that won leeds the game

we lost moaning wont change it

get over it
