Brown’s punishment at the disciplinary will be interesting 

Surely for justice to be seen to be done it should be sending off sufficient

Do we think they will even say it was wrong?

I think we need to be honest.

As the laws are written they can’t say it is wrong. They can give him SOS or NFA and change the protocols or interpretations which doesn’t help tonight but the underlying intentions of the new interpretations are correct but this has showed that there is a problem

        One thing about the game Hull FC supporters will know the players put the effort in and never stopped trying.I liked the way they were playing until the sending off nowt between the teams.

I don't see how it is more than human error. They have watched something and decided it's foul play. 

There is absolute sense in the ruling about having your head in the tackle. Another sport has gone through this, and James Graham used to be a nightmare with it, but that was just a misinterpretation tonight imo.

A pretty poor game really. Hull FC did better than the scoreline suggests with the team they had out. They were well in it until the sending off but they can take positives from that. Warrington looked good in spells and did what they needed to win. Really poor conditions again which really makes it difficult to really assess teams.

[Ullman]

Hugely encouraging performance from Hull in the circumstances. I actually thought we were getting on top until the red card.

[Ullman]

Well said Sam Burgess, nothing Nu Brown could do about that contact.

[Dave T]

Really good interview with Burgess. Great coverage.

I like Sam Burgess' thoughts regarding the head contact stuff.

Can't do that, refs decisions are always right, even when they are wrong. Can of worms there.

[StandOffHalf]

Slammin' Sam speaks really well.

What a champ of a fella. I like how he blooded young fellas and gave a shout-out to Hull's youngsters post-match.

That is not a good look for the game

Fair play to Hull, their squad players put a decent shift in, maybe that's the way they should go instead of bringing in average Pacific islanders in?

They've copped some grief on here from their own fans and other fans but they showed some good effort.

All publicity etc.

I support the new protocols, I believe player safety and their future mental and neurological safety are paramount, but… that was an accident, it wasn’t an attack to the head, it wasn’t even careless, Brown was spun round by the impetus of his own player, there was absolutely nothing he could do about it.

I thought Hull made a good fist of it (no pun intended), supporters should be proud of the effort that team put in. 

[jacksy]

Wilkin spot on. Yellow and review.
