Thur 15th Feb: SL: Hull FC v Hull KR KO 8pm (Sky)

[Red Willow]

I know what is going to annoy me this season. "you can't do that now" High tackles that contact the head and punches have always been outside the rules

The forearms

I would have said a jab, followed by an uppercut.

I don't object to the red, it was stupid and dangerous. Whether he connects or not is kind of beside the point. But he mostly hit fresh air.

More by luck than judgement, he's gone to do him, and missed, intent was definitely there. The idiot.

He threw one in the scrap aswell 5 game ban i reckon

How many for Lewis who always seems to escalate the push and shove? Unnecessary scragging Okunbor to the ground after he’d knocked on too. He’s a talented but horrible little bar steward.

Hull have been tremendously bad 

Tonight or for the last decade?

[FearTheVee]

You could see in Tony Smith’s face before ko he knew he had a right rabble on his hands. Zero confidence

“All packaging and no product” - Kyle Amor. 
Perfectly summed up.

I can cross-reference it with the film thread and "you couldn't make that these days" - people have trotted lines like that out every year without thinking for at least a century.

[Wollo Wollo Wayoo]

Pity there isn't another game Sky can cut to now this one is over.

[gingerjon]

Anyone able to parse how good KR are from that half?

I'm finding it hard to judge because Hull have been all over the place.

In entirely unconnected news, did you see how good the Bulldogs looked earlier today in their pre-season match?

Did Papz play well?

I thought the shoulder hits the heads as much as he misses. Will help to see a replay again to see if that's true.

You can see him getting a serious ban after he then throws punches in the handbags afterwards. The intent and a combination of the above should absolutely give him a lengthy ban.

Yeah I agree. That's why I said it was beside the point whether he actually connected or not.

[Derwent]

Another year, another chance to see Hull FC get ripped off yet again by a new crop of lazy, indisciplined lumps from down under.

They don’t look that great IMO no structure Im not convinced by the half back pairing 

[meast]

Hull look absolutely woeful, it usually takes them 4 or 5 games into a season though.

It's a fair point you've got. There's far too much grubb in his game and he was right on the line in that malaise.

He had some good passages of play but, crucially, came out the other end without yet another injury.

[Coggo]

How much longer till FC twig that signing overweight NRL rejects with an attitude problem isn’t working?!

Own goal from Pele.

[wakeyranger]

KR carrying on from last year. FC seem to have no composure and barely any structure. Ashworth looks good though.

But they're cheap.

 

[bromleybulldog]

The forwards Hull have signed from the NRL all look to be liabilities on the basis of that first half

Just in time for tonight’s red card to return
