Ashworth's had his offence downgraded to C and his ban reduced to two matches. Back for the derby.

Still an absolute disgrace but better than it was

Agree it’s still an absolute disgrace and just drives the nail further in the coffin of the sport here. But then are the fools as we just don’t fight or shout loud enough and in truth are just too nice as proved by the Brown fiasco and yet no official apology from anyone or dept within the RFL.

The outcome of the hearing just amplifies the level of inconsistency within the RFL and its officiating and disciplinary depts and the disparity in not just the punishment/charges but the whole system which stinks.

Think this will very likely be my last season following the club and sport as it no longer the sport I enjoyed playing and supporting as it has systematically being ruined by incompetence people in position beyond there ability and IQ.

I agree. Unfortunately it's a lottery who gets yellow,red, and bans. Stinks to high heaven. Or should i just say....Corrupt

Plenty of drama queens on here again I see today

Cas hosting a meet the directors Q&A evening tonight, would be good for Pearson & Clarke to hold something similar in the next few months to clarify points around salary cap spend and future ambitions of the club

More like people simply expressing the abject despair they are feeling and disillusionment with the sport and the way it seems to be going. Who’d have thought that on a forum

We are all seeing the same thing at Hull but view it differently, flavoured with the disciplinary situation. I cannot be as downcast as many are. I see optimism with our playing roster and our youth coming through. The bans and red/yellow cards will settle down and we will have a cleaner game with more hits like Peles original one on the Rovers loose forward before the swinging arm. Players will be better protected. TS is an experienced international coach with a rebuilding remit. I think progression will not be linear but it will happen. Glasses half empty help no one least of all the drinkers. I think this season will be up and down and will prepare us for better things. Apologies for not being miserable about all matters Hull FC

With the sport , more like the club . Never seen an overreaction about anything like tonight, people thinking we hadn’t contested the ban , so dummies out , people (fans ) not going again , wanting us to wind up etc etc . Then they find out we have ……..

Don’t think there’s an over reaction per se more as I intimated that due to a culmination of a number of things there’s a feeling of genuine despondency.
People have simply expressed their feelings about the situation. Personally I find the club communication with and to its fan base pretty poor to say the least which doesn’t help or reduce the malaise and apathy that has been felt by many for the last couple of seasons.
Think it’s fair to say things have probably been amplified by the way it seems the club has fared (harshly) with the disciplinary panel along with nothing much coming from/out of the club addressing things like this. I’m not saying AP or TS should come out all guns blazing but some form of noise from the club would be welcomed but it’s almost radio silence.

If we all agreed and shared the safe views it’d be a pretty boring world.

Good to see a few more positive posts tonight.
I don’t agree with Ashworth ban !
But like I said previously.. under this seasons guidelines it wasn’t a legal tackle…
I didn’t like Barrie macdermott stirring it up on the commentary but the players have all been told how they must tackle in 2024.. the club have to deal with it..
As a cheeky positive .( light hearted )
If we keep 13 on the pitch then we have every chance of beating a weakened Leigh team.
I’m expecting Huddersfield to beat kr too.
So come the weekend we will likely be on level points with the unstoppables who are at full strength..
Let’s wait till we get more of our cap back on the pitch then see how we go..

That came from me , John Davidson posted it on twitter, has since deleted it.

Think the frustration from fans is about more than that though. The clubs in a real mess.

Is there anywhere to see the guidance?

Is that's an illegal tackle, a player who dipped his body as well as the attacker on a wet surface then we are in trouble, sin bin and 2 or 3 match ban.

I think its also the inconsistencies, the Hurrell tackle fir example, I'm sure they are plenty of others.

would be good but its far more difficult to look people in the eye and answer telling questions then using the HDM or Yorkshire post to put your spin to the fans

The Ben Garcia one on Martin Saturday, if Martin stays down he probably gets sin binned

It's the way it's going to go unfortunately

It’s a club that’s rebuilding in a changing rugby league context. I guess forums attract dramatic posts. I enjoy the game its athleticism, skill and hopefully its integrity. The downside is that, as in many spectator sports, the behaviour of a small majority of fans who imo are overly tribal leads to bad behaviour at games and on forums. ruins it for the majority of fans who are fair and can take adversity and defeat humbly

We've assembled a bottom 4 team so we'll lose more than we'll win , The financial side of the club isn't going to change overnight either so we're in for a bit of a slog this season which many new before a ball was kicked .
AP has probably told TS the situation the club are in and has to work with what he's got for this season so they'll not be a lot of scope for movement there .
I don't know what the club could add to that really until loans are paid .

If Tindall fit interesting to see what TS does I reckon although controversial it would be Martin to be rested(dropped/left out). Gardiner, Laidlaw and Severs too miss out with Martin or Tindall
Hoy
McIntosh
Carlos
Sutcliffe
Martin/Tindall
F.Brown
Smith
Eesese
Houghton
Sao
Okunbur
Staveley
Lane
Subs
Pele
Scott
J.Brown
Charles

That would be unlucky for Martin , I think the kid has done alright since he's been in the first team .

If Tindall wasn't to play on Saturday i'd be almost certain he will in the cup next week.

Wonder if Pearson will side with Beaumont after last night's disciplinary appeal...hardly a result getting 1 game less.
