He was worse than awful and whilst I'm sorry that he was injured I'm even more sorry that it didn't happen 4 minutes after the start, rather than 4 minutes from the end. I hope we don't have to suffer him again.

Mr Hicks!



In my opinion he was in a class all of his own today.



I seemed to have seen many matches this season in particular when the official's decisions have left me wondering why do I bother to go & watch another match. After paying good money & then have to sit through his performance I am beginning to wonder if it is worth it.



I would like to see & hear officals being taught & given their instructions by their governing body ut I know that it is just wishful thunking on my part. It might give me an insight as to their thinking & decision making & then may be able to decide whether to 'pump' my money into this sort.



May be if officals spoke to the public via the media after matches & gave their reasons for making certain decisions or in some cases not making them, I belive that it would help supporters & may be improve some peoples' overall opinion of them.



I was sorry he got injured [ I hope that it was not serious but it seemed to sum up the match for him in my opinion.



Oh how I want the officals to improve, for the sake of the game of rugby.



Rant over.

When you are old enough to actually go to games maybe you can comment after actually watching them play.



Good game from Westie today, full 80, didn't see any bad missed tackles, good try and seemed to be rallying the team at times.

Hicks was truly awful, I thought it was difficult to be as bad a Child but he showed its possible. We really need two referees but we would have to have one game a day with Bentham and Silverwood doing every one.



We need a chance of direction from the RFL, what we are doing now isn't working.

hicks nearly cost us the game today! his decisions at times were a complete joke and that was the only reason salford were that close to us at the end! one example being the build up for their last try, not one salford player was back 5 metres let alone 10 at the play the ball when he blew up for a knock on against fc! many baffling decisions! any wonder he got the biggest cheer when he got crocked!



lineham was fantastic, apart from 1 knock on near the salford line he had a error free game virtually, just a shame turnstyle turner hung him out to dry on a couple of occaisions



big game from lynch too, westy although gets criticism had a decent game too

Thought westy was very good today, my MOTM, but glad young Tom got it for confidence reasons.



Up and down for hull, some good and bad things, ref was poor bad was impressed wih salfords attacking play, looked very dangerous at times.

What about the away support or lack of it? Can't have been more than 50 Salford fans in the North Stand. I went to watch Rochdale v North Wales Crusaders last week and North Wales took more away fans to the Rochdale game than Salford could manage to bring to the KC. What a joke.

There's only about 4 teams that travel well to the KC. Nothing will change that, yet no matter where we go. We travel in our thousands.

The only joke of the afternoon, albeit in very poor taste, was the slow handclap for Salford's Marc Sneyd whose injury required him to be stretchered off and who will now miss the remainder of the season!

regarding the injury to marc sneyd,i think the crowd were getting frustrated by the amount of time being taken on injured players of both sides who were until his, injury up and running after long delays.the more i see of holdsworth ,i think he could be the player to do the same role as cooke did for hull.lets hope we can get him.

I made it roughly 110.

Good to see AP reference a "timely boost" in his programme notes.
