I'm only saying that based on his finishing last night. Blew two tries by not keeping his feet out of touch.

apologies, i thought you had won your first 3/4 and were top after a few rounds or am i thinking of wakefield
We won our first game against you and lost 7-6 to Warrington. At that point we were fairly happy, but it soon fell off a cliff after that.
I understand that people aren't convinced about Hull just yet. It's a big jump to go from 8th to winning things in a season, we've also had a lot of false dawns before. But the signs are really positive.
We weren't as good last night as we were last week. Salford actually played pretty well last week, whereas Catalans last night were disappointing. I also felt we tweaked our style a bit. Against Salford it was all about quick play the balls, runs from dummy half and big men busting tackles. We only really started moving the ball once we got into attacking areas. Last night we showed more willingness to play in our own half and there were a lot more offloads. Whether this was a conscious decision because of the conditions and opposition or whether its just a sign of the confidence we have I'm not sure, but I thought we were good to watch last night, even if it wasnt as controlled as the week before.

Tbf they were both difficult chances, and he was only an inch away with both. In fact I thought the first one was okay, thought his foot stayed in the air, but without a ground level camera looking straight down the line it was hard to tell.
The touch judge had the best view of the first try and he didn't flag him in touch. ref gave a try and there was no video evidence to change that so it should have been given. second one was not clear either way for me.

Talk about black and white tinted glasses! Clearly in touch on both occasions as the video replays showed.

Which is the point. If the on-field ref sends it upstairs as a try the VR has to have conclusive evidence to overturn. No such evidence was shown.
Well, if you ignore his foot going into touch on both occasions then, no, no evidence was shown

I appreciate that you only having one eye when viewing FC will give you depth perception problems, but no frame of the footage shown last night definitively shows a foot in touch for either try. The angle they showed practically guaranteed that it wouldn't due to foreshortening by the camera lens. There may well be an angle that shows what you claim but it wasn't broadcast last night.
Hold on to me baby, his bony hands will do you no harm It said in the cards, we lost our souls to the Nameless One
