Poorest wire side to watch since 2002 .

Unfortunately it’s all down to tactics.

Hull played well in the first 2 games against some fairly mediocre opposition. Its just the pundits getting carried away, we are not 'the team to beat'.
We look a lot more solid than last year but still work to be done.

Agree about golden point, never liked it.
Also my initial impressions of the new ball steal rule are that I don't like. It just introduces yet another decision that is hard for refs to accurately judge.

Not always but some/most "Providers" do provide content that is "Pay Per View" for nothing which does make it illegal that's why they get searched for and shut down.



As for the game today I didn't watch it, but from what I have seen posted around the net it sounds like both teams played poorly with Warrington lacking in attack again.

I don't know what happened at the end but it seems some people are claiming that Hicks handed Warrington the draw just like the Challenge Cup



For me it is going to be a interesting season, because I want Warrington to do well but I also want them to go on a mass spree of losses to see if that get's Price and what appears his lack of Attacking gameplay style out sooner.

Interesting comment about Hicks but not sure what people are on about.

Looking at the match review panel report they found that Davis' challenge that gave Hull their first two points and called back Charnley on his way under the sticks for six points was not even an illegal challenge or worth the onfield penalty. So that was an eight point turnaround.

Hull's first try came in a set of six from a handover which should clearly have been a new set of six for Warrington after a Hull player obviously played at and blocked a Warrington kick.

I'm sure Hull fans could point to decisions that could have gone their way however I'm not sure they were as critical or clearly incorrect as the two above that would make a 14 point difference.

Surprised people haven't commented more on these.

Silent 'disappointment' was my approach to the very good points made by Paul above. Don't really like criticising refs too much as they do not have the multiple angles and time to reflect like the commentators do.

Perhaps there are too many rules for refs to police already & maybe the RFL should rein some back in. We see many rules ignored by refs every week in every game , such as forward passes , moving off the mark & not playing the ball properly.
