Does anyone know what that was all about?

just got in, whats this then

Was on a banner floating around the east stand, don't have a clue what it mean though

Bless

Good contribution!

Sorry!

A fabulous banner, only bettered by the "Hull KR Ledgend" one.

Based on some the comments on the fans forums regarding the RFL, i think it would be safe to say imo, that most rugby league fans would voice a resounding no confidence vote if it were put to them.

Fans don't have a clue what the governing body does though. Many hated Richard Lewis with a passion, yet he got the game to the best financial state it had ever been in AND successfully expanded SL to France. Bigger TV deal. Bigger sponsorship deal. Bigger Sport England deal. Higher crowds. More participants. Yet people were always calling him.

He left just as the recession kicked in, and the new lot have got to take over. Personally, I respect the fact that they've told the companies who have offered us pittance to sponsor the league to do one. It would completely devalue you it (further than the Stobart debacle).

Fans in sport are always looking to blame someone else for their club's misfortunes. It's not just RL. But to make a banner?

This could well be on the back of Hudge's comments about the proposed new league structure. We all know they hang on his every word. HE IS THE MESSIAH!!!

As with all sports the people who are'in charge' are usually just clueless figure heads (The FA ,ECB ) the RFL are no different. It's just that they tinker with the games rules every year and don't have the bottle to do something about the inept standard of match officials. Not just this year has the standard dropped but going back over the years can you name one referee who was consistently good. And don't even mention the tough judges.

The only thing the officials got wrong yesterday was allowing Burns to stay on the field so long

Not just talking about yesterday dickwad.

It's rugby league not netball, go find a non contact sport to watch if you believe that!

Did he jump ship before the Stobart 'deal'? If so its argueably gone downhill since?

Another fanny. Grow a pair man.

Referees are no worse now than they were, however many years you want to go back. They're certainly fitter than at any time previously. If a player takes an interception, the referee is usually the closest on the field to him when he scores

There was a classic at Bradford away I seem to remember. Something about challenge cup cheats. Not as good as the one you mention though.

And it's NOT NFL neither.

Good idea to remind Burns about that

Burns lost his temper, so what. I really enjoyed yesterdays game, not for the rugby (it wasn't great was it) but for the biff. That is what a derby is about and anyone who doesn't like it is following the wrong sport. I remember when the ashes series with the Aussies always had a dust up. It's what made the series great to watch and its what makes our game great to watch. A dust up then shake hands at the end. A derby of old!!

If everyone who moans about the poor standard of refs actually qualified to be one then just think of the pool of refs at our disposal. The bigger the pool of refs = better quality at the top by natural selection. And no i'm not a ref.

You don't get out much do you.

Probably a regular at the KC and has his Wembley ticket ready along with his Hull FC shirt

Meatpaste, I get out a fair bit hence my infrequent comments on this board. A debate with intelligent fellow fans from all teams is good every now and then but you don't fall into that category.

Give over. The thread is about the RFL and their incompetency. A large part of this is their acceptance of poor officiating. Not just the referees but touch judges and the VR's.
