I've seen less convincing, more obvious no trys poured over by thr video ref 

But the initial decision was spot on and clearly the Match Officials had zero doubt.
 

We complain about referring decisions to the VR and when they correct don’t we still complain

Whoever decided signing Luke Gale was a good move should be the first one out the door.

To be fair he's lost no pace running to argue with the ref after every decision!

Having a fair old crack at beating Powell to the sack is Hodgson..

Whatever happens in the remaining games won't matter in that regard. The side is massively depleted, playoff hopes are long gone. Hodgson's future will be decided by how we perform in the early part of next season with a new half back pairing and hooker and a squad that he will have put together himself (well most of it anyway).

Ban coming in for Taylor.

Not sure how he stayed on the pitch tbh. Head contact and took player off ball. 
 

ref…. ‘Time it better’ lol he didn’t have ball.

Why would he want the job in the first place?

He's a strong contender for being the worst signing in the club's history. There are plenty of candidates, but I feel like the case for him is as compelling as any of them.

Powell’ not going anywhere this season, he’s there to break up the dressing room and rebuild the squad. The League position and performances were factored in when Wire brought him in to shake it up. Warrington had 15 players out of contract at the seasons end and Powell has made the decision to sign 2 and let 13 go, that’s not the actions of a coach worrying about this year

He was way better when he had no hair

[Davo5]

That try just about sums up how inept this Hull team are.

[wilsontown]

Amazing stuff.

Nothing wrong at all with the officials getting a call right without the safety net of the video ref.  Well done them.

[OMEGA]

It’s a harsh game sometimes 

[Ant]

I genuinely feel sorry for Hodgy, great great player, probably an okay coach but picked the most basket case ever to be head coach of.

He have been better going to Tolouse even.  

Jesus Hull are making Wakefield look like a Superleague club

Hull are very very bad

Oh come on, they aren't that good!

[OMEGA]

That’s a bull decision from the VR

Go on, why's that not a try then? As usual I'm sat in a footie pub with no commentary (probably not a bad thing).

Well that sounded nerve wrecking near the end. I said I wasn't going to put money on it but changed my mind this morning. Took Trinity -4 at 13/10, last night I was thinking to take Hull. Both teams far depleted with injuries etc but great win for the Red, White and blue. 

Up the Trin

[Wellsy4HullFC]

There's performance anxiety, and there's lack of attitude needed to win. The amount of time Hull players switched off because they thought the job was done was completely unacceptable. Senior players too. 

How has it come to this?

[Northern Eel]

Thought the pre-match analysis of Hull was exceptionally interesting. There’s more than just an uncanny trend in the way their seasons just wither away, but nobody seems to be able to put their finger on the main reason.

As the head coach, isn't a lot of how Hull FC currently look his responsibility?

Oh City of Wakefield

Murphy is looking like a great replacement for Jerry at Huddersfield, home town lad and all that!

Surely he would have higher aspirations then that.

Nah he'd need to put a Salford shirt on before Watson would attempt to sign him.
