What about two Hull tries from incorrect knock on decisions? Not a chance in hell that Bevan knocked on, or Powell stripped it either.

So my view of the Bevan French one was that he needs to look after the ball better. He had it held away from his body in a bad position. Tuimavave didn't steal it as such, he was removing his arm from the tackle, and he's under no obligation to do that carefully. It's French's responsibility to hold on tight.

As for the Powell strip, are we talking about the one where Sneyd picked up the loose ball but it got called back? If so then I think that's incredibly one eyed to suggest that wasn't a ball steal.

Did he state when the alleged incident occurred?

I expected a tough game and Hull gave us one.

Both teams obviously had a few players missing so I’d like to think that if both teams were at full strength then a good contest would have been even better.

Really pleased that Hull are looking improved on recent seasons. Their scramble defence tonight was fantastic
A good Hull team is a great boost for the game. Always a great atmosphere when Hull bring a lot of fans on their trips to Wigan.

I’m pretty certain that next week’s game will be even tougher and hopefully a great game for terrestrial tv
Could be a classic CC tie.

Amen to that brother,

Well played

Connor head high tackle and he is sin binned. Farrell does the same and is only penalised.
Hull warned for offside at successive plays and a penalty. Wigan warned for markers not square at successive plays and only six again.
Child gave six again to Wigan on a couple of occasions only after Wigan players exaggeratedly complained.
Wigan consistently - and I’m not just talking about this game - move off the mark when playing the ball and the referee penalises the defending side for pushing them back.
Even the commentators referred to how offside Wigan were at the end but no action by the referee
More than any other team Wigan have learnt how to play referees.
Overall a good performance from Hull considering the above.

Don't be silly there was a massive difference in those two incidents.

I'd post it on here but the C word isn't censored in his post.

Says it happened and he wanted to sort it himself the next time they came into contact but Clubb got subbed out a couple of plays later. Probably a good thing for both of them that he was taken off! He reported it to the ref when there was a break in play (the penalty kick).

He said he swears on his mums life that it happened, that he wasn't just going to take it, and that at the end 16 Wigan players shook his hand and one stayed well away.

I’d suggest you button it. Otherwise you’d be opening yourself up to allegations that you’re proving yourself to be racist.

The thing is, I am all for innocent until proven guilty, but I find it very hard to believe that he would just make it up. Hopefully there is a microphone or camera that can clear things up one way or another.

Also I aren't interested in a witch hunt, if he is found guilty then he will be punished accordingly for it. I would hope however that if he did say it he will be big enough to contact Savelio to apologise for it.

Re: v Hull FC : Thu Apr 29, 2021 10:29 pm  

We need to move French to FB ASAP.

I get that we are making do at the moment because of injuries in the backs but we are not threatening enough.

We could try and offload more but apart from Bateman I don't know if that's the players style and Lam seems to want low risk high completion sets.

I like that we have a style, high completion, Hastings bombs, outlast the opposition but the games are closer than they need to be, especially with Hardaker's goal kicking. I think French at FB will make us a lot more threatening, but we might have to wait till we have more wingers. Either way I thought Hull were very solid and Reynolds could be enough to flip the result next week.

Finally the Clubb allegations are very disappointing and I hope it is sorted out quickly.

After the game Sky showed the passage of play when they came together after a tackle in the middle of the pitch.

This was while Clubb was still on the pitch and a few minutes before the break in play when Savelio spoke to the referee.

It's a genuine question! If he did it then throw the book at him. My point is that when the complaint was made Clubb was not on the field so when did it happen? If that makes me a racist then we live in a very sad world.
