Yes he was , hard to understand how he can change his mind about to identical incidents within 2 weeks, and like you say the walmsley one looking more deliberate. Agree neither was anything

walmsley would have been sent off if he'd done that before the watts incident. It was the right decision to leave him on the field but I thought even accidental head contact was supposed to be a penalty. No one even knows what the rules are any more

Thought it was ten mins for contact to the head. Did Child signal that the incident was on report.
There was some harsh calls for Salford. What about Wilkin professional foul. It should have been ten mins.

Cant we have 80 min matches again like the old days. Sky games start at 8 but finish at nearly 10.
Time it takes to set a scrum, You could almost boil a kettle.

I think Walmsley's was worse than Watts due to 2 factors, the defender was in his eye line all the time and there was aggression in Walmsley's actions. He followed through with the forearm/elbow after contact. I'm not saying it was a deliberate attempt to make contact but it looked worse than Watts' in my opinion. Jon Wells hinted at it at the interval but didn't elaborate.

All we ask for is consistency, I didn't hear Cummins condemn the challenge and quote his duty of care/contact with the head so has to walk nonsense.

The red card was justified in my view, it was a ridiculous challenge. I think the video ref gave that decision as Childs didn't even see it due to how late it was. I'm not sure a red card would have been issued had it been a Saints, Wigan or Leeds player though.

I'm dreading tonight and hope the game isn't spoilt by refereeing controversy,i just have a feeling the RFL would prefer Cas ,Leeds, Saints and Wigan in the top 4. It's up to us to not even make it close tonight and close the game out so it doesn't come down to one or two iffy decisions.

Not a case of going soft at all. I wish it was more like the olden days with a bit of biff but my comments are based on how today's game is officiated and lannons challenge for me was a red based on intent. Like stated he had so much time to pull out of challenge it was a easy decision for ref. If kicker had been left unconscious would you say it's only a yellow. He deserved a red for pure stupidity .

That's proper paranoid mate.

If you do not win tonight, taking into account the teams, it will not be the fault of the RFL.

Every game has iffy decisions - you could probably add or subtract 6 points from both teams, depending on who you support, putting the result of close games in the hands of the ref.

I know,but it makes me feel better about it

Why would they? It's nonsense to suggest that.

Believe it or not there is no anti-Hull FC conspiracy at the top. If we miss out it's our own fault for too many poor results such as Leigh at home, Catalans x2, Huddersfield at home, Salford at home etc.

Why still all the comments about Watts when everyone in the game now accepts it was a wrong sending off? It's history. Sending Walmsley off yesterday would have been wrong, so the ref has learned by the mistake.
