Super League: Daryl Powell accuses Hull FC boss John Cartwright of ‘influencing referee’; Cartwright: He’s one to talk! | Rugby League News

Wickfield coach Daril Powell accused Hull John Cartrait of influencing the referee James Villa after Trainte was dispersed 10-0 to lose 16-10 in East Yorkshire.

Wickfield took over the competition in the first half, but the tables have turned after a break like Zak Hardaker, Jordan Rapana and Lowis Martin within ten minutes to give Hull the first victory at home within nearly a year.

Although Powell blamed Wickfield losing his performance in the second half, he suspects that a villa could have been affected by what he heard from Cartita, as the players made their way to the tunnel in the timeline.

Powell told “Powell”: “I did not like what happened at the end of the half Sky Sports After the match.

“that it [penalty count] 8-0 in the second half. I think Hull deserves to win the performance of the second half, but I have never seen a game like it to be honest.

“I think the influence in this way is not great. John walks up and down, which affects the judgment. This happens, I got it. I did it in the past, but I don’t think it should work. I have succeeded in the game completely turned on its head.

“I think some of this is a body, some do not get it. We did not get a penalty in the second half, they didn’t get one at first. What is the flow of the game? I don’t get it. It’s disappointing.”

Cartraret has strongly denied the claim after Hull Wickfield jumped to sixth in the table.

“Did Daril say? It is one speaking, right! It did not affect the ruling, I did not speak to the ruling at all. I did not say a word to the ruling,” Cartrait told the media.

When asked if he had said something that Villa could have heard, Cartraret said: “This is a different story. I did not talk to the ruling.

“We didn’t get anything in the first half. We didn’t get a penalty or six to go. I was wondering about our players about the fighting in the dowry while they were walking in the tunnel.”

Hull 11 lost one and one of the last time she prevailed at the MKM stadium on July 20 of last year, with their previous eight victories in 2025 on the way to maintain their hopes of obtaining the first sixties alive.

“You can talk about everything you want in his absence, but it exists. The truth is that we have not won a game at home for a long time. I am really glad that we haven’t had to talk about it anymore,” Cartita added.
