Huddersfield’s victory over Hull FC was slightly marred by the decision of referee Chris Kendall to send off both Josh Jones and Andre Savelio for their ‘coming together’ at the end of the game. But, just how did social media react?
One supporter acknowledged Savelio’s class as a player, but believes he can work on his attitude.

Another criticised Savelio as “a balloon”.
Not playing victim this week. Blokes a balloon.

One Hull FC fan, however, stuck up for Savelio and criticised Ian Watson for his post-match comments about Savelio ‘singling out’ youngster Robson Stevens.
Watson's comments about him singling a young player out. What's Andre supposed to do? Not tackle someone because they're young? Go play golf kid, RL ain't for you.

That sentiment was echoed by another fan.
Haha what a tit – basically I don’t want opposition players going after my players but it’s fine the other way round.

However, another was dismayed at Savelio’s attempts against Stevens.

Another was disgusted by the outcry against the Hull forward.

A different fan, however, called Savelio out on his aggression.
Savelio is a strange guy. Always wants a scrap for some reason.

One supporter even went after Ian Watson for his comments.
