If that was rugby? : Thu May 10, 2018 8:52 pm  

Disgusting game of rugby tonight at Fev ... faults on both sides but I thought Fev were a complete disgrace to the game and the ref asked for it.
How the hell can that tackle on Shaul be deemed a mistimed tackle with just a penalty as a result.?
Really?!!!!!!!

No doubt Fev fans will have lots of counter claims but Radford summed it up ... it was like watching pub teams at war.

Thank goodness we didn't suffer that kind of spite when we played them.

Hull did well not to get sucked in but eventually they did and came down to Fev's level.

Gareth Hock took a punch which he desereved ... poisonous!

A dreadful advert for the game.

Misi Taulapapa should have got a straight red for that tackle. Even though he didn't make contact with Jamie Shaul's head there's no place for that in our game. A full blooded tackle when the defender hasn't got the ball is incredibly dangerous.

Thea game needs to get its act together over the issue with contact to the head and the tackle area. Union some may say are a little over sensitive with the Policing of that aspect but player safety is cruical. The 'mis-timed' tackle was a a cop out by the Officials and it just went down hill from there. Fev could not live with Hull for the first quarter and the introduction of that idiot Hock changed the game to his image. Fecking ugly.
