The touch judge was convinced the Leeds try was an obstruction but the video ref quickly decided it was a try If the game was none televised Hull would have won that game easily

Shame he didn't also look at their obvious knock on that hit their own player and should have being an accidental offside, shame Thaler didn't also pull up the half a dozen Leeds forward passes when he pinged our marginal one (but correctly so) by Houghton. Leeds player steps off the mark by 3 metres and penalises Hull, whilst we were giving away some dumb penalties that he had no option to penalise, Leeds took the pee and Thaler just said do what you like. I thought at one point a Leeds player was in our attacking line he was so far offside when he was supposed to be behind the try line.
Typical crap refereeing performance that shows how Ganson has not only not improved matters but is taking the standard backwards.

Thaler did his level best to get them back in the game. Bet he's gutted he didn't ge to sin bin one of our players after the team warning.

after watching it back, it really did seem that way, some very poor decisions in leeds favour

I haven't seen the game back on TV so just going off what I could see at the ground/screen.

On the obstruction try, he does run round the back of his own man but I don't actually think anyone is obstructed so common sense was applied.
However my issue is that common sense hasn't been applied to obstruction rulings so far this season, us vs Leeds and the derby spring to mind, so once again we get an inconsistent application.

Also what is with this sudden obsession with people being run off the ball chasing kicks? Seems to be their new pet penalty.

Keith Senior made a living out of doing that

One example of stepping off the mark, Ferris!! FFS he was just about on the defensive line when he actually played the balll. Why is that not a penalty to Hull?

Shaul being blocked by an off-side retreating defender yet gets pinged for a knock on.

Faraimo back tracking, does not deviate this direction yet gets pinged for what Thaler indicated was a shoulder charge, yet an obvious shoulder charge by JJB on Kelly after a kick gets no second loolk.

Given then Faraimo was sent off in the derby after the intervention of the VR, why is the VR not in the ear of the on field official at all televised games? Classic ball steal on Paea, 20 yards out, on 4th tackle, Thaler looks across to TG, who shrugs shoulders. Thaler there fore give a knock on. TV replay, within the next 30 seconds show a clear ball steal. If VR is there and is used retrospectively (Faraimo sending off in the Derby), then it should be for all incorrect decisions.

Finally, one of the things killing the game, this ridiculous obstruction rule. Not referring to the try Leeds scored (their second), nothing wrong with that, its the whole idea that the merest of touches on a player constitutes genuine interference and prevents a defender from getting to the ball carrier. its supposed to be a collision sport FFS. If this rule was applied consistently, then there would be a penalty every 3rd tackle when a dummy runner is in motion. This rule needs come clarity or binning off completely as it means dummy runners become a defensive dream.

Had to laugh when I saw mcdermott's interview complaining about yardage penalties when the only reason his team were in with a shout was through soft penalties
