As much as we're screwed over by the fixtures, Wigan are too. Wouldn't want to be playing a high stakes derby on a 6 day Wembley turnaround. The lack of pragmatism in scheduling is crazy.

Really proud of the teams efforts tonight they must be gutted to put that amount in and come away empty handed, typical performance from Childs full of needless penalty's for both sides made it a frustrating game for the fans and the players and it showed it nearly boiled over a few times that's pure frustration from the players at silly decisions.
Childs just stopped to good teams entertain, The RFL have to do something about Childs he is ruining the sport and he is not on his own the only real gripe I have was the video decision on I think Garbutts try, he clearly had no control over the ball and it was no try, tough call and Gareth's sending off was totally over the top at one time he even pulled a leeds player out the scrum coached him not to lose field position unreal

Jake Connor, the guy pointing and threatening 5ft Rob Burrow as Leeds set up to play the ball in front of the North Stand. Not 18st Mitch Garbutt, or Ryan Hall, seriously, he stood there beating his chest and pointing at 9st Rob Burrow. There were pensioners crying with laughter at the fool. Terminate his contract, he is an embarrassment to your club and Rugby League.

connor's only 5 ft 2 and 9 1/2 stone himself. must admit burrow's headbutt was almost as funny as mcdermott's rant. burrow reminds me of the cartoon tasmanian devil

On a serious note, I do think Connor has psychological problems. Don't know whether it's a lack of self esteem or self confidence, but he needs someone at your club to take him under their wing and have a word with him. He doesn't seem a particularly happy fella overall.

When it happened I was certain it wasn't a try. In fact I was one of the few around where I was sat who was applauding the tackle, most went very quiet. But then as Child looked at replay after replay and I started to get worried it would be given I was sat there saying, "it's a try, he's going to say it was pinched." I didn't actually think that, but in those moments you become very pessimistic. So did Radford really think it should have been given, or was he just doing what I did? I don't think anyone asked him about it afterwards.
Yes he did think it was a try. So much so he couldn't believe it hadn't been given and remarked "What a decision that is!" in total disbelief. You're all also ignoring the fact that the ball went backwards and was grounded by Clubb so should have been a try anyway. Not that it matters now as the Hull win is in the history books. Congratulations btw. You were worthy winners.
Did you enjoy Mr Child's equally inept decisions tonight though, I wonder?
The two forward passes cancel each other out, the Garbutt one is a bit dubious but we'd be a bit miffed if it isn't given for us so not too bothered about that. However the obvious and very glaring mistakes (unlike the Clubb no try which wasn't a try because he didn't have control for the umpteenth time!) is the Gaz Ellis sin-binning and the obvious ignoring of the head butt. i don't care how tall Burrow is, it's irrelevant, you can't go head butting a player. Child/Hicks are a disgrace for that alone. I thought the forearm was Washbrook, put up his arm to protect himself as the leeds player ran toward him after offloading the ball.
