I thought Kearney had a bit of a shocker to be honest.

Langley
Sheriffe
Orford

Agreed with Kearney but the effort seemed to be there. I really hope he is just rusty!!!

Why are people suggesting Halley as MOTM? He had one of his quietest games he's ever had in a Bulls shirt, and also threw a ridiculous offload when we were right on the Hudds line.

Langley

Then perm 2 from Sheriffe, Reardon, Orford,

Agreed, Kearney and L'estrange were very poor.

I thought Langley was your best player. Made a shedload of yards and tackled all evening. easily your best forward.

Agree with that, although Lynch got through a ton of work aswell.

Langley
Scruton
Sherriffe

You could put an "except" against every Bulls player. That was the main problem.

1. Orford
2. Sheriffe
3. Reardon

1. langley
2. sheriffe
3. lynch

Thought Scruton got through a load of work as well as Langley & how good will Orford look when people learn where to run for him

3 Ganson - Kept you in the game as much as he could
2 Orford - Just needs some decent players to run off him
1 Video ref - Tried to help Ganson out as much as he could

Good balanced view that. You're Mum'll be proud

Langley by some distance.

Like ignoring the quite blatant knock-on from Jackson after the charge down for your first try? Where Jackson knocks it forward, then heads it, then his teammate catches it about 10 yards in front of where it started? (Watching the replay, the commentators also completely missed it)

I didn't have a particular issue with the ref last night as he made questionable decisions both ways and I don't think it affected the result. What I will say though is that Huddersfield wants to be careful with their discipline. Give those penalties away against a team that capitalises on it, and you'll get hammered. In particular, the messing around and holding down at the PTB was terrible from the Giants last night (thankfully the referee did penalise it, even if he waited a bit long to have a word about it). Gilmour stood out as particularly bad with the discipline, not something I particularly remember about his game in the past.

Jackson!!!!! Are you sure you wasn't at the Leeds game then?

I meant Raleigh. I was going by number 15 for Huddersfield, which Jackson used to be didn't he? The point remains though, it was a clear knock-on.

Out of interest Ponner, what did you think of Huddersfield's discipline last night?

After watching it again on SKY i'd say it was no worse that Bradfords. I have no quarms with the penalties Ganson pulled us for but letting the Bulls get away with exactly the same and worse was a little odd.

1- Langley
2 - Reardon
3 - Kearney

Agreed. For example i thought the penalties against Lolesi + Robbo were given for 'holding down' for less time than many non penalised Bulls tackles. L'Estrange was slowing the PTB all night including holding the tackled players' ankles and a few other moves out of the Manly play book.

You two seriously think that both teams were doing the same amount of holding down? Try watching it again without the rose tints on. I like Huddersfield, I've always liked them. I would like them to do well. But the only way they're going to be doing that this year is by cutting out that very very poor discipline. I sincerely hope they do, so that when they play against a more in-form team, they don't end up losing loads of points because of needless spoiling tactics and ruining the otherwise very good play. Their defence last night was excellent at times. They nearly ruined it though by just not learning from their mistakes.

As far as Robinson's sin bin goes, it had nothing to do with how long he held down for. He was penalised for holding down, but the yellow card was because of the situation in which he did it (i.e. immediately after a break from Sheriffe and to stop a potential advantage - i.e. professional foul). Gilmour's yellow was due to the fact he'd been at it all night and had in fact been singled out earlier in the game by the referee (listen to his comments to Hodgson when he pulls him for the warning).

Rather than pointing fingers at referees and suggesting he was one-sided, you might want to be more concerned with not ruining future good play with needless poor discipline. If you can cut out the pointless penalties, you could be a very very good side.

Reardon played well but Orford threw a thew shocking passes but did ok but all my excitement is going, only one game but we were't very good tonight but alot of effort

I did not say they were doing anything equally - where did you see that? Try reading my post again without your rose tints on



where did I refer to Robbo being sin binned? - where did you see that?. try reading my post again without your rose tints on



As i actually did say.."the penalties against Lolesi + Robbo were given for 'holding down' for less time than many non penalised Bulls tackles"

I watched the game again and this is true. as were my comments about L'Estrange. if you choose not to see that so be it.
