It really annoys me how the basic laws of the game are ignored these days ,offsides. forward passes & moving off the mark, when it suits the whim of the ref. Teams are winning by cheating but i'm sure a few early penalties for cheating in games would put the ref's stamp on the games.

Well said. The Cronulla Sydney game this.morning was a real spectacle, far superior to last night. No messing around at the ptb, consistent unfussy officiating and bags.of.akill with the outcome decided purely on skill.

Another season of mediocrity at Hull FC will hurt, but the rise of HKR (who have a very good, ambitious coach and are building well for next year) will be equally galling.

Place is a hotbed of RL, they will be seething don't worry. Leeds are another set of fans who will be shaking their heads in despair, but at least have recent glories to reflect on.

Maybe us, Hull and Leeds should merge. Probably still wouldn't win the big one but the post-defeat threads would be the stuff of internet legend.

All very well but then who do we pick on to say “well at least x are in a worse position than us”?

Can’t see Leeds coming back in this even at this stage.

Half an hour in and I've just realised Toby King is playing. Think that was his first touch of the ball. Really don't want him back here next season.

Well already bringing in 2 other centres I’d say he’s not guaranteed to walk straight in.

Final positions in top 6 just down to 3 now, we beat Salford tomorrow then Salford would have to beat HKR next week or they are out.

Wonder if Wigan want to keep King and give us Wardle back instead.

Wow a charge down that worked.

Every player bar one was offside would have been hard to stop that try.
