Everyone was hoping it was Fozzard 
Nah, there was a cheer - like there is when any big hit occurs - but it soon stopped when it became evident that he wasn't getting back up, and both sets of fans clapped him off.
From where I was sat, it didn't appear like there was any intent to hurt Roby, just potential bad technique by either player (I didn't have the best spot to see that incident, as it was at the other end of the pitch, and a player was in the way slightly).
I have to say though, the linesman had to step in twice because of Meli being a dirty bugger. |

I was at the game and I thought Shrek just run in hard, and just stook a flat hand out and clattered Robes. I could be wrong, but that was how I saw it. Looked fair play to me, but would love to see on reply incase he did a "fozzard" ! Robes hit the deck and the back of his head basicaly broke his fall, no arms out to stop him just WHAMO head broke the fall. Real nasty injury, but he got up and walked off, god knows how the chaps feeling right now.

I'm sure he'll be ok after all he's a rugby league player. Could you imagine a premiership footballers reaction to a impact like that, he'd still be there now |

Front page headline and back page, and every TV station in the world " soccer star gets knocked to floor, gets up and walks off, read his story this week only in the mail on monday" the soccerette would be a hero, and deemed the hardest man in foozball or such like.
Does the 2 week concussion thing still stand these days. Or is it a case f you get a head test and if you can see straight and count to 6 on one hand your fit to play on ? I forget were we are upto on that auld rule, anyone know ? |

| Quote saint billy="saint billy" I think that the majority of people heard about this as there are a few reports that are saying it could have been an illegal charge by O'Meley. You don't often read in the match reports that it could have been illegal, unless theres something in it, IMO.'"
Can you post the links to all these reports of an illegal charge please?
All I can find are:
Skysports, Yorkshire Post, Telegraph: "With England hooker Roby leaving the field after a heavy collision"
St Helens Star: Sadly, Hull countered with James Roby helped off after sustaining a head injury in trying to make a tackle.
Press Association don't reference it at all in their report. |

Fair enough, but someone on here posted that there were "a few reports" of it being illegal. Not sure where all these independent reports of it as such are.
It also says:
For Hull, Richard Agar had a number of fit players to choose from; naming a very strong side featuring Sean Long, the excellent Jordan Tansey and Jordan Turner. Willie Manu also came into the second row.
But conveniently ignores the fact we were missing Berrigan, Horne, Calderwood and Lauaki and Sean Long had been ill and not eaten since Thursday morning.
..so not the most balanced review.  Didn't look anything in the incident to me. |

| Quote SaintsFan="SaintsFan"As I said on the Hull site, I don't think you know what that phrase means if you think Roby is anyone's bitch. The man tackles above his weight every match and comes back for more every time. All that stopped him this time was being out cold. Even the god O'Meley couldn't tackle when out cold.
'"
Roby was owned. Doesn't take anything away from Roby as a player.
As for the forearm, difficult to tell from the stands, both for fans and commetators. If its on report, then it will be looked at by the RFL and we'll see. I suspect there was nothing wrong with it though. |

Oh stop been a p***y.
Its Rugby League. Of course Hull fans are going to cheer a big hit and the fact that it was a big enough hit to knock the wind out of him - I've watched many Saints games at KR were your fans have reacted exactly the same - and like Saints fans, once Hull fans realised he was going to need help to leave the field there was the usual respectful applause.
Stop been so bloody PC. Its sports, it always been that way. If you don't like it, I believe the new Sex in the City movie is out. |

It looked to me like Ogre saw Roby about to blind side him and just dropped his shoulder and Roby took his shoulder straight to the chin. I'm positive there was no foul play, just one of those unfortunate things that happen sometimes. |

Nothing could be worse than Newton`s hit on Long.
As for Roby and Ogre, from what I saw it was a good ,hard contact.
Of course I could be bias.
And yes Roby did get applause from Hull fans as he went off.
