25 Feb: SL: Hull FC v Castleford Tigers KO 8pm (TV)

[Gates1]

Costly mistake by Gale. No reason to kick on 3rd tackle without making sure defence is set perfectly.

Killing ourselves with silly plays.

[Red robin]

Cas are the better team and unlucky not to be ahead.

[Wollo Wollo Wayoo]

Hicks decision not to go to the screen for the Crooks no-try really caused Cas to lose concentration.

[Gates1]

Cas are the better team and unlucky not to be ahead.

Not sure about that. Our forwards are getting dominated a bit, need to stem the yards of the FC pack and win the collision more whilst cutting down penalties and silly calls.

Backs going okay though.

[Old Frightful]

Hopefully we now know we're in a match. Some good stuff from Cas and some resilience from my lot but very happy to be level at arf tarm.

[chuffer]

Missed the first half, any cop?

[Red robin]

Not sure about that. Our forwards are getting dominated a bit, need to stem the yards of the FC pack and win the collision more whilst cutting down penalties and silly calls.

Backs going okay though.

I think overall you are the better team. Your forwards are holding their own. You've got some real X factor with some of your plays. Plus Hicks evens up the penalty count in the second half.

[chuffer]

Oof, gale nailed

[LeeF]

Isn't the Sky commentary so much better tonight

Is someone missing?

[Wollo Wollo Wayoo]

Thank goodness sky keep showing clips of the Wigan v Salford game to keep us entertained. 

[Gates1]

10 minutes for me. An attack to the head. Regardless of the part of the hand used.

[chuffer]

Frank the tank taking my advice that it's seemingly ok ti strike someone really hard in the face and all is fine as long as its not a closed fist...lol

[MikeFletchersBarmyArmy]

Last week a player was sin binned for a slap, that was more than a slap

So you would sin bin someone for a hand off

That was a hand off

[chuffer]

Palm heel strikes can be damaging, esp if it hits your nose

[MikeFletchersBarmyArmy]

Hand off when the ball is in play. The Aussie bloke got sin binned last week for slapping someone before being knocked out. Double standards again!

[Gates1]

So you would sin bin someone for a hand off

A hand of on a defender while the ball isn't even in play. Yes, simply.

[chuffer]

A hand off is a fend/push ....that was a strike

[Red robin]

What a try!

[MikeFletchersBarmyArmy]

That was a hand off

What's more damaging, a slap to the cheek or or hand off straight to the front of the face.

You do know a hand off is only allowed when the ball is in play & can only be used to fend off a defender from tackling him.

[Futtocks]

Denny Solomona looks set for a good season, on this evidence.

[Wollo Wollo Wayoo]

Great play from Webster gives Solomona another chance to show what a lethal finisher he is.

[Futtocks]

Hull's turn, and Shaul delivers!

[chuffer]

Wow, great offload from Houghton and the footwork from shaul
