Re: Burgess : Mon Oct 14, 2024 9:02 am  
i could be in the minority of 1 on this one

got the game on now on Wigan TV, and literally just watched it again and dont see much wrong with the 3 HKR players who complete the tackle (giving them the benefit of the doubt as they were just finishing off a tackle). Burgess does touch Junior on the head, but i dont think there is anything in it, and it certainly wasnt the reason he was down

I put the full replay of the coverage on this morning for the first time. They mentioned the Hull KR following 6 times in the first half hour of the programme. I'm not sure if any Wigan fans actually went to the game.

To be fair I didn't notice any around us. Just thousands of KR fans wearing Cherry and White :THINK: :lol:

As an FC fan I am probably going to be more biased than anyone else on here but just pay close attention to what Burgess does again.

His fist is clenched and he lands his fist and forearm on the temple of Nsemba laid prone on the ground.

Now I’m not sure if Nsemba was already out cold or not but Burgess knew exactly what he was doing for mine and it was an attempt to take out one of your major dangers?

I won't comment on the Burgess incident, as most have already commented and I take the same opinion as the majority. In response to the SKY bias towards Rovers, its been weird living in the City (being a Hull fan), and the fanfare about Rovers, even schools doing Red & White days. Needless to say, my Son went in his FC shirt

The weirdest comments I saw about HKR were from Barrie McDermott, who compared them on Saturday to that Leeds side going in to it's first Grand Final and how it lead to a sustained period of success. I don't think they could be any further apart. I really like what HKR are doing, the owners are showing ambition and making good decisions but currently it's quite short term planning that is going on. That Leeds side was packed full of lads who had come through their academy and who were at the very start of long careers with the club. HKR have one player who has come through the ranks and are signing players at the ages of 36/37 years old. It all looks geared to getting success 'now' and unless they can really accelerate bringing some juniors through, I don't see how it can be sustainable.

I agree, in fact the only reason Mikey Lewis is in a KR shirt, is because FC had first pick from the the joint academy one year, and we went for Connor Wynne instead of Lewis as Radford was big mates with Wynne's dad!

KR have even tried to sign some of the Hull academy lads this season - Callum Kemp and Ryan Westerman who made their debut in the last game of the season. Despite our shocking season, FC are closer to emulating Leeds - with us trying to build up our academy kids into first teamers, supplemented with some experience. Be interesting to see which approach brings a trophy first!

No charge for Burgess, but a Grade E for Hiku for lifting Nsembas arm! FFS.

Grade B for Thompson for the late hit on Minchella

I suppose any admission that there was a serious incident which went unpunished on the field would be an indirect criticism of their Grand Final referee.

It doesn't matter. This kind of petty corruption used to happen all the time back in the glory days. It makes it all the more pleasing when we put their favoured sons to the sword out there on the field of honour.

Re: Burgess : Mon Oct 14, 2024 1:54 pm  
I actually really feel for Hiku here. He was the first Rovers player to notice that Nsemba was out and looked genuinely distraught and concerned for him. I don't think that he or Batchelor did anything wrong. It was just bad luck, it happens in a physical game. Burgess, on the other hand did seem to me to be at least reckless in the way he went in.

How does Harry Smith pick up a 3 match ban for a forearm to a prone player, Hiku himself get nothing for similar on Field because "he missed" but Burgess gets nothing despite both being late and making contact?!?
