Very encouraging performance. I rarely reference the referee, but Child had two laughable stints on Hull's line today. I thought there was an obstruction in the play before Shaul's (deserved) sin-binning which would have meant us getting a penalty on Wire's 10, as opposed to going a man down. I'd like to see the "knock on" from Talanoa too. He fumbled it backwards but from what I could see there was no separation for the supposed knock on.



Our intensity in defence was great overall today, pretty obviously seeing that we nilled them in the second half despite being hammered for penalties and possession. The players looked switched on and pumped up in the warm-up. Houghton and Ellis in particular were immense in effort, one set Houghton made 5 tackles. Paea and Bowden both led from the front, Westerman looks in very good shape. Feka made little impact though.



On the halves, Rankin was disappointing today, think they scored off a penalty he conceded, not involved enough. Azza looked very lively, always looked a threat. Our attack looks transformed from last year, we seem to have a structure and organisation, and looked to spread the ball much more. Didn't always come off, but way more entertaining than last year.



Our discipline though is absolutely killing us. In both the last 2 matches we've been in the game, absolutely, but gifted quality opposition way too much ball and been appropriately punished. Can't go on if we're to have a good season. Got to take 4 points from the next couple of games. With Carvell and Tuson back, hopefully, Friday is a "must win".

The reason he seems impartial, and was complimentary to Hull is because him and his sidekick are from Sintellins, and hate Warrington.

The pair of doddering demented fools need putting out of their misery.

Sounds familiar.

Yes.

Not a fan of talking about the ref but Child was terrible. Anytime Ratchford, MM or Myler put there hands up they got a penalty. So many poor decisions, England was aloud to be treated on the pitch with a bust nose whereas Horne had to leave and nearly punished. Both teams was laying on for the full game yet Hull was the only team that kept getting penalized. He simply lost the plot.



Westerman, Paea and Heremaia Hulls stand outs for me. Horne and Rankin struggled again, for next week id go with Heremaia starting at 6. Not sure why Whiting didnt come on till 60-65mins. Crookes and Lineham looked dangerous with ball in hand.

Time for Miller to get a chance?

For next week i'd start Azza and Horne with possibly Miller on the bench. Azza moving to 9 when Miller comes on.

Thought you contested throughout & your players gave 100%. Your fans were very good as well, gave your team a good ovation at the end of the game.

Rarely i will call the ref but he was awful today and cost us a win. I would also mention that the sub policy from radders could be questioned. Overall though i am pleasantly surprised this season.

can not disagree with this only to add when Horney got sent to the side lines by Childs for having blood on his face then not even affording us the opportunity to bring a replacement on for the full set of 6 we then had to defend on our line was to me as near to cheating to give the other team an unfair advantage as I have ever witnessed childs was a disgrace today we never got anything from the guy in there red zone, I am very proud of the way we preformed today against all the odds I thought we honestly deserved the win but I am very Boyed by the performance and effort we will win plenty this year with effort like this well done Fc today

Total double standards, separately he let their player be treated on the pitch and delayed the scrum until he was ready.

Exactly he was a disgrace and clearly bias I'm just proud of the way the team defended that set of 6 which was already a repeat set of 6 on our line we will not do bad this year if we can repeat that effort in defence today week in week out

Horne was picked out by Child's on the Warrington tryline after being held up on the last tackle. Horne refused to be treated throwing the towel at your physio and running back to join the defensive line. He was next seen by Childs near to your tryline when he told him to leave the field.

Childs spoilt the flow of the game and he was not consistent in his decisions. Good away showing as normalfrom you. Both teams had players missing and will improve as the season moves on.

don't get the shaul criticism on here, ok he got sin binned and rightfully so, but as mrs barista pointed out, he wouldn't have been if childs had penalised myler for obstructing crooks on ratchfords break, again seems warrington got the 50/50 and favourable calls when needed, first attack of the game from fc, lineham held down by one of their players, should have been a penalty at the least, shaul gets binned for similar! talonoa didnt knock on as there wasnt any seperation, it was directly in front of us!



again like many, the blood situation, childs could have held up play for horne, he didnt want too! one rule for one, one for another!

If he had have done that to a player in your team when you was defending desperately to stay in the game and basically thrown a defender out of the line without giving you the chance to replace for a full set you would have been furious he was a fooking disgrace simple and you know it he is not fit to ref a kids game

I am still encouraged by the team, making silly mistakes on the last tackle and if they cut them out we will win a lot of games.



It's been said about Childs and he was very bad today.



Missed Carvell but Paea & Bowden did well, along with Ellis who bent players in half with some of his tackling. I don't think Shaul did too bad at all and when we use him to attack on the right with Crooks and Lineham we look very dangerous.



Good effort overall and a little bit more composure and we would have won.

The deciding factor on us losing today was without doubt, Child.



Evan after the game some of the warrington fans I spoke too felt embarrassed by how biased he was.



That said, I can't fault the display today, indiscipline in the 1st half cost us dear, yet second half was much better.



Our right sided attack looked the best we have had so far this season. Ellis led from the front, in fact all the forwards did well with the exception of Feka who made little impact.



Houghton as ever defended magnificently, thought Azza needs more game time than he got today.



Come Friday hopefully see Tuson get his start and Carvell back, 2 pts to start us rolling again.



Worst part of the day was the $hite weather on the way home, my neck is killing due to concentrating too much while driving...

Child had a shocker!

.......but RH said he was inconspicuous and had a good game!

That's because they're a set of red and white to$$ers

Thought our fans were awesome today! Never stopped singing and helping the team

1st half was lively, bit of a lull 2nd half till we got the try then back up to full song again.



I reckon child got the message about our feelings towards him....

It can't be a bad performance to go to Warrington, with 4 forwards out and the only seperator was a missed conversion.



I'd call that progress. I hope Radford does too.



Rankin looks to be a dogsh*t and diamonds player. Can't work it out.



Miller must really be out of favour.

Them two didn't matter thou, it was the doddering demented fool in the middle that was the problem.

Miller was 18th man and warming up with the rest of the team before the game. I think he will get his chance very soon.
