Like I said earlier, for the first time since rovers promotion it really did feel like an old fashioned derby. I just get the feeling that the rivalry between the fans has filtered through to the players as well. The passion on the terraces was reflected by the passion, aggression and will to win on the pitch. Hence the punch ups.

I think the fight was sorted out reasonably well, considering the number of players involved. Also think Bentham dealt with it well at the time by binning the two who started with the fist throwing and having a word with the captains.



IMO it'll be a collection of cautions for the players and possibly a fine and caution for both clubs for failing to control their players.

its a hull team remember

I think it was a very young Lee Jackson

What time do you want us all round ?

Wasn't it just a typical cheap hit on the scrum half from Casey that started it? That was his "hard man" forte, cowardly hits on what is usually the oppositions smallest player- except that to his obvious horror this one came back and thrashed him. Him losing the GB captaincy was a bonus as well. Horrible person was Casey, though he did far greater damage to Hull as a coach than he ever managed playing for the dobbins.

He'd have been very young - Lee was 14 at the time

The score board end was fully open to the elements.



The end with the greyhound score board only had a roof over 1/3 of it.

Didn't have big gaping holes in the corners though did it

Lauaki and his tackle ..the ref stated you cannot lift a player like that but you just put him down ..the penalty was for the punch ..also said to Radford Have a word with him Lee and that the end of it

Then had a word with Fox for rushing in

A few rollockings i.m.o.

The ironic thing was the way it was all grins and backpats when the game ended.

Was funny that. Cockayne looked to be congratulating Tom Briscoe as well.
