You're watching a different clip to the one I've seen. On the one published by your oh-so-professional Chairman there's no clenched fist and contact is with the upper arm.

Stand out players were mini, Sneyd and Shaul.
All the forwards did well and Talanoa finished brilliantly.
Pryce didn't look fit, but still made a difference in attack, Fonua isn't a centre, but did improve 2nd half.
There comeback came when Manu was off and we missed his defence when he was subbed and they scored three try's
Fonua looks really immobile IMO like he''s carrying an injury to his knee which is restricting his movement .
Sneyd has been excellent for weeks now and shaul is the best FB in the comp currently, I also thought te bin man was back to his best today. I think we've missed his go forward since he got injured at widnes. We were all over widnes up to his injury

It's not a stiff arm. Ellis' arm comes around to wrap up man and ball but a combination of his timing being off and Simon's head dropping leads to accidental contact.
He may well pick up a ban for contact with head, accidental or not, but some of the rubbish being spouted by certain Wakey fans is laughable.
I am using both my eyes and clearly we have two different interpretations of the incident, had the situation been reversed I'm sure you would have a different opinion to the one you have now. Ellis is not a dirty player by any stretch of the imagination but imo intent or not, and there's only him will know that, but he's got things wrong and made illegal contact with Simon, and it's noticeable that you now think he'll probably get a ban. I'd just like to say in defence of the Wakey fans that both on here and on the Wakey board I have not seen one poster that has not been gracious in defeat towards your teams win today so why you feel the need to say we are spouting rubbish is beyond me.

Maybe it's the 5 page thread on the wakey board about the ref?

Ref was fine, generally let the game go, could have penalised both teams more, always get some fans if the losing team picking out the refs faults. According to that thread Hull were always off side, never played the ball in the correct place and constantly holding down, on Twitter a Wakey fan even claimed the 40/20 (take note bumby) wasn't a 40/20.
Wakey are lucky as if Child was Reffing they would have had something to moan about.

There were some incidents I didn't think went our way but as said above we were beaten by a better side. We did well in the game but we're just too busted in the end. Lyne going off made a big difference as you got a few breaks where a second row was covering centre.
Hope you do well this season. I'd like to see Hull shake things up at the top.
PS a lot of the ref thread on our board is about the game, not just the ref.

And you'd be wrong.

I said he may get a ban. And that's largely down to my low opinion of the panel.

To be clear - spouting rubbish about this incident, not the match in general. Although some of the stuff about Silverwood is a little far fetched if understandable.
