Agree about Hoy. I have a bit more confidence now if Clifford ever gets injured again that Hoy can step in. He's a good runner of the ball.
And Litten at the back to cover Hoy looks safe as houses with the high ball. Still think he struggles in defence while he's getting used to the size of players in SL. He's still an incredibly small and light player who needs to bulk up a bit. But he is definitely one to keep an eye on for the future.

Not a big fan of Mc but he played well today.

Can’t fault the effort at all today they gave everything and never gave up. Losing Taylor so early in and Griffin up until he saw the cards was a real handful. Fash was for me the MOM as he really stood up and never took a backwards step even up against Whinging Walmsley who seems to run in with his knee up, went in with his knees when we scored in the 2nd half and ran straight at Fash off the ball late in 2nd half which seemed deliberate
Thought Savelio was another who really stepped up too like Fash. Despite copping a lot of criticism this season I thought McIntosh had a good game.
One of the disappointing things was Dwyer and yet again a total headless chicken performance. He was a liability and took the wrong options, went the wrong side snd brain fart passes. I’d rather we sit him until the end the season and give Balmforth an opportunity if he’s staying.
Hopefully Hoy isn’t too bad if it’s hamstring.

As the Griffins red card if he has used abusive language towards Kendal then he has let himself and the club down. If however he has just questioned the decisions that were going against us and seemingly asking what the difference is from where he was pointing then Kendal is a bigger dick than ever.
To be quite honest I didn’t really see an awful lot of difference in what we were doing compared to St’s to be pinged so many times with 6 agains and penalties. Some of the decisions certainly seemed questionable by Kendal and seems 10M is a different measurement depending which team is in possession.

Disappointing we couldn’t make the next round but again shows were are very much moving in the right direction

Sorry but there is no excuse for getting sent off after the hooter has gone.

Griffin should have to refund Hull FC ticket holders today.

All players should learn to shut up rather than talk back to the ref. But talking back to the ref when there is no action going on is just plain stupid.

Josh Griffin = Peter Griffin

Another game of RL ruined by Chris kendall, every game this guy officiates is naff, no wonder the players get frustrated, although that's no excuse for griffin, whatever he said could have waited until at least until after the game.

The players and coaches cannot win though, as a coach if you say anything= fine, if a player says anything fine and ban. Officials are bulletproof no matter how incompetent/bent they are. Kendell will be free to ruin another game next week and then repeat.

I take it you have never played the game. If you had you would know that in rugby of both codes you just don't chat back to the ref. That's not the ref spoiling the game that's the players. Shut up and move on.

Doing it after the hooter is just showing the IQ of a turkey.

Of course dispaointed to go out but some really promising signs with our team spirit and work ethic and liked that Hoy was unpredictable in attack.

We all know there are limits to what this squad can do, some just arent top6 players while theres salary cap (such as Shaul) just wasted sat in the stands. Im confident Smith is getting things in place for a better 2024, but what signings we make is of course key.

I have played the game to a decent standard, which is why I stated it was no excuse for griffin and its something that could have waited until after the game if he wanted clarity on certain decisions.

You're on a hull forum telling people to shut up and move on? How about if you don't like it shut up and bugger off to redvee, Wellens in this week I take it?

I'd never tell anyone here to shut up and move on. I was talking about players shutting up and moving on.

Did you say the same about your club slagging refs?
Alibert & Hicks in particular.

Then my apologies, I misinterpreted what you meant. FWIW I agree Griffin should have just kept his mouth shut, cost us the game.

It doesn't hide the fact that Kendall is an absolutely appalling excuse for a RL official, but will be free to officiate next week despite his constant incompetence.

Weird that four of our last five reds came with Kendall as ref.

They may or may not have been correct calls but even so it's a notable stat.

Just watching a rerun of the game and the Fash and Griffin incidents.
Peacock and Wilkin practically frothing at the mouth saying Fash was an intentional shoulder to the head
Fash is in the tackle and has his arms trapped in the tackle and Percival has a hold of Fash. They go down in the tackle and Fash seems to simply land on Percival and there’s not a lot a player can do in that as he couldn’t go anywhere.

As for Griffin it doesn’t look like he said an awful lot, Kendal couldn’t get his cards out quick enough. Not excusing Griffin but think Kendal has handled the situation poorly as could have just told Griffin to shut up, take halftime to calm down as Kendal does enough coaching during a game.

Even the penalty against Cator for a trip seemed very harsh as you see that nearly every week when player are stepping across to make a tackle.

It’s almost as though Kendal has a god complex.

Don't know if we'd have won with 13 on the pitch or not.
I do think Kendall is a poor ref amongst others officiating in Super League.
It is what it is and we've got what we've got.
It's gonna be difficult for many to keep enthused now that we've relatively got very little to play for, 8th, 9th, 10th?
Hope we can positively recruit for next year to give us something to look forward too.

Typical comments of a loser

What iIdidn't understand in the Fash incident is the putting on report. If 3 officials on the pitch and a video referee can't decide what to do, then penalty, get on with it.. I'm okay with that, but what purpose is putting the incident on report. It's not as if the disciplinary will miss it. They find incidents to look at that nobody ever sees during the game and puts their own unique interpretation on matters.

Welcome back, did you enjoy your holiday ?

Maybe in your winterwonderland he has stolen it from Tuimavave

Showed today for me why Carlos isn’t the right choice has captain, a good captain would question the referees decisions at times even to slow play down like a few do in SL and might even sway a few decisions out way . Effort today , can’t question and without Clifford we couldn’t do much more . Griffin should know better , especially at his age plus he’s got previous, so looks like he can’t change , no matter how frustrated you are . Even though mcintosh was quiet today , I think he comes in for way to much unfair criticism from some , not as bad as people make out , just been lacking confidence .

I would agree that Carlos isnt the perfect captain but there are no obvious candidates in the squad, we really need to sign a vocal, hard as nails experienced forward who can lead us next year. That said the dressing room seems the best it has been in years so off the field things seem good

This is the second cup tie with Saints that Griffin has cost us
The trouble is he was pinged for a ball steal when if you watch it closely Hurrell is on his feet with three men on him then tries to pull the ball into him to secure it better but loses it rather than a ball steal so should have been a knock on.I guess thats why Griffin lost his head.
On receiving a yellow card i dont think telling the ref your a F-cking joke helped

Why hard as nails? Why a forward who could well be only on the field 50% of the time?

Suppose we have to put up with your constant whinning this week. Never heard from you when we beat Wires. Gosh you boring.

Serious Question. Bonaire who do you want in the next round? What number is your team HKR?

Yeah, I never understand why people come to a forum, read/hear someone else opinion and get upset if it doesnt tally with theirs.
