If you say so, we aren't going to agree, despite the facts ou discipline is fine, might as well lock this thread.
Stats don't lie. If you're going to stick your head in the sand and suggest its the refs fault, its not going to improve is it. There is a problem with discipline at Hull, I dunno how anyone could say there isn't, but I suppose it depends how you define a "problem", it doesn't seem to be hurting them too much. Taking Leigh out of the equation Hull are doing roughly one extra penalty a game than everybody else, so its not ridiculous, just high comparatively. Look at Catalans, complete penalty dingbats for as long as I can remember, this season bottom of the stats but it hasn't helped them any. That card count say's a lot more about the team priorities than any faffing about at tpob, sorting that out will have more of an impact than a few extra conceded penalties over the season.

Stats can be interpreted to back up many arguments, but I honestly don't believe that these particular stats show that we have discipline issues. Look at Catalans, they are now 6th in the penalty count, not bottom as you were arguing yesterday. And our stats aren't as "bad" now compared to other teams, now that the figures have been updated.
Is Hodgson the new Griffin, or is it all about pace?
Grade C Dangerous Contact. EGP not available so if found guilty he'll miss 2-3 games which would be Widnes, Catalans (Cup) and possibly Saints at the Magic Weekend.

They are two different games though. IF the situation was different and it was a one game ban, surely there would be an argument to say he misses the Saturday game but can play the Sunday game. I don't see why them being on one weekend matters, the easter weekend games count as two.
