If I was crap at my job then I would be sacked simple as, these clowns seem to get decisions wrong everytime they make one, glad they took up reffing and not brain surgery!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Difficulty is that the ref makes 100's of decisions in a game and invariably some are incorrect. Also, they don't always have clear line of sight.
Mistakes I can live with, it's inconsistencies which really p1$$ me off

We complain that the refs shy away from making tough decisions but Mr Allibert had no second thoughts last night as he disallowed 3 of our 4 tries. Well done sir.
Clever ploy to position the big screen behind the away fans, then turn the screen off after a contentious decision is made. Each time I turned to look at it, it was blank, then it came back on as a scrum was forming, drop out being taken etc. Something our screen operator should adopt perhaps.
The game was well played by both teams and I didn't notice any niggling or nastiness between the players and played in good spirit. On the day, probably the best team won, but I'm not on a downer. We may have lost the battle but we are still in the war, so to speak. If we can play like we did with so many 1st teamers out and no captain then we could be in for a good season. Hull are vastly improved on last season and hopefully, like us will be challenging for honours this year.
Great crowd, sadly not by us, great stadium, great game, and just what superleague is all about. Roll on next week.

Don't think anything was prooved tonight. Thought Eddie said "Paul Cullen might have something to say about that on Wednesday's show". Paul Whatuira wasn't even looking at the ball when making the tackle from what I saw. It definately went forward off his arm but not a knock on according to the rules for me.
Anyway, history as you say, better team won on the day. Fitzgibbon a monster worker and best player on the pitch. Better execution from us would have made it a tighter game.
Hull and Giants for play off footie at end of year I think.
Very hard fought game which we did well to win. Great crowd but i have to say the Giants were deserving of a bigger following. As for the screen, it's always in that corner of the ground. i sit right at the other end, it's so far away i'd need a telescope to check out the replays. Hope you do well this year and make the top 4 like us.

OK, firstly, a big well done to those of you who travelled over. I am not going to hark on about numbers. Those of you who turned out are a credit to your club.
With regard to the screen, that has always been there. Fridays game was the first time live action has been active. The only replays it did were for actual tries.
It was always going to be a tough game and for a while in the second half I thought Hull were playing to your hands by trying to barge up the middle.
