Kendall back to his pedantic best, I am sure he thinks people come to watch him, there is loads he could have played on with, the last game I watched on this ground was officiated by Liam Moore and he let play go on and it was enjoyable totally opposite to this performance by Kendall.

Last night there were plenty of comments about how the ref didn't police the ruck enough and the PTBs were slow.

Can't please them all.

That's the point. There's always an excuse for the perpetually outraged.

Just to add to my last post - I also haven't seen many parts where he has stopped the game that wasn't for offside, or a player laying on for a stupid amount of time.

We all want to see a quicker match, but if players are taking the **** then the ref has to do something.

So disappointed with that. Not a single good thing to say about it. Falling off easy tackles, unforced errors, discipline very poor. Just generally low on energy and enthusiasm. I expect Cartwright is tearing strips off them as I type. That just wasn't acceptable.

[Ullman]

Really pleased with the way Hull clawed their way back into it but two errors late in the half, one at the Wigan end and one at ours, have killed us and settled the outcome.

Technically, the coverage is absolutely awful. I'm watching on red button HD and it's nowhere HD standard but that's just the first of a long list of complaints.

Are you watching on sky? Looks to me like the RB channel 970 is better quality than the red button thing.

The iPlayer stream is usually miles better than the FreeView red button. Tonight, it really isn't.

Wtf

Two penalties for backchat now from Hull ... 

[Click]

Not sure if it is irony or not, but for Kendall to "leave it" to Sezer to sort out, when it was Sezer who he gave the first penalty for backchat against.

Nice run from Barron there

And FC get their second try of the game - Decent try from FC.

[Wollo Wollo Wayoo]

Lovely break from Barron leading to the try. I was hoping he'd make it full length himself there.

[Wollo Wollo Wayoo]

Does anyone hit the posts more than Sezer?

[EagleEyePie]

Hull FC making the most of that opportunity. They've started the half well aside from their indiscipline. 

[Click]

And Asiata has gone to the bin for backchat.

Absolutely dire discipline from FC

[burnleywelsh]

Has Barron ever played the ball correctly???

[dkw]

Superb try by Hull.

Great line and finish by Martin there. Had so much to do still.

Found a hole where no hole was apparent. Good finish too.

Game back on.

Hull bring Fash on for the kill.

I forgot Asiata was off - The production is so low we dont even get a yellow mark against Hull's name at the top.

I honestly can't recall a worst production for such a high level game before.

It's ok for all the Wigan team to question the ref

If you can't see the difference between when the Wigan players have questioned the ref - compared to how the FC players have run at the ref then I am not sure.

When Asiata was sent off, he shouted at the ref when he was getting up off the ground, after already having his team warned. 

It is dire discipline.

Lazy, lazy defending by FC there for Wigan to get out of their half there.
