On the subject of Albert, you cant argue with Fonua getting MOTM, but Kelly was exceptional yet again. You name it, he did it in the game. Passing try assist, kicking try assist, clean breaks out of nothing, 40/20, tracking back to tackle Greg Eden, massive goal line defence. We all know his track record for second season syndrome, but even if he only gives us one season of that quality he will go down as a brilliant signing.
He seems to be enjoying his rugby again, good for him, and good for us!
Agree. I think it is fair to say that both players got unlucky. Gale couldn't help but be in that position after the initial hit and got hurt as a result, Watts wasn't in anyway malicious or reckless and couldn't have anticipated that he would hit him where he did. I think some of the comments about Gale are a bit unfortunate to be honest, he failed a concussion test and is a doubt for their next game, he was hurt. But that doesn't mean that Watts deserved a red card, the official read it poorly.

Just watching the tries again and it was a really good gather by Albert before he put the cross field kick in for our last. It wasn't the friendliest of passes from Mahe.

for incidents like that, should be 10 mins in the bin, unless its a clear attempt to take someones head off, no way should be a red card. The saints one was a joke, and so is this one. The sin bin is a great part of our game, and no way gets used enough imo

Someone pointed out that mcShane running in clouted gale in the head with his knee, if that is true then the sparked out on the floor Gale could have been more to do with that? Also see that (the running in) Mcshane leads with the elbow/forearm to Watts head whilst he's on the ground, that's much worse than anything Watts has done! that should have been a straight red too.

I agree. Part of me thinks even a yellow would be harsh, but if we accept even non dilberate and non reckless contact with the head should be yellow to try and promote better technique (although I'm not sure what Watts could do differently) then it was a 10 minute offence.

I find it quite strange that for as long as I can remember we have very rarely seen any cards shown at the KC since we left the Boulevard but yet in the last 3 homes games we have seen 4 yellow and 1 Red. so the question is have Hull FC suddenly become the devils spawn or have the officials and RFL been shown up for the amateur way they run things?
The incident with Watts was never a sin bin let alone a card, a penalty is all it should have been. If that incident is deemed a Red then this sport is screwed as no team after 80 mins will have many players let on the pitch.
I really enjoy long walks especially when they are taken by people I don't like!

It wasnt even a penalty,it was accidental contact with the head,Watts arms are by his side,how can Watts change his body position in such short space of time.

It was certainly a penalty, any contact with the head accident or not is a penalty these days.
