Agreed Wire should have had a penalty...

However I don’t usually ‘bag’ the ref it’s not an easy thing to do..

But firstly watch BMM’s tackle his intention was to put the shoulder in to make Matty think twice about what’s coming when he runs in. No problem with that until it goes wrong.

However when it hits the head it’s a sending off nothing more nothing less.

Austin got a brush of the knee and from the replay it was from his own player and put his hand to his head to try stop the game as Hudds were likely to score.

The grin on his face said it all when Thaler was daft enough to go for it. If it was a bad knock fair enough, he’d have needed a head assessment like Walne, but it was in all but name a professional foul. Followed by a blatant trip for which he was rightly sin binned.

The pass to Widdop was forward in any game, but we’ve all seen em given before and will see them given again.

My point Is that Thaler bottled the big decisions in this game and if he’s the best of the refs god help the worst.

Then in the post match interview Price has the neck to bleat about the adversity of two men in the sin bin, Austin should have been in twice and Masilla sent off I think his bleating was a bit rich.

However on a positive note it was the type of game SKY needed after the one before it if we are to secure a good new TV deal.

Be interesting to see what they make of Tomkins little attempted ‘kick’ very petulant in a game that was almost already won but typical of the man.....

I think BMM's got off lightly there, he wasn't even charged for a shoulder charge, just a high tackle, i.e. tried to tackle, but reckless about contact.

Either way it makes no difference to Huddersfield now.

This has being going on for years, with what is perceived to be justice (i.e. a ban), or justification for a red card. It's happened to every team, and on many, many occasions. All we can do is suck it up, as these things are out of our hands. One rule that I'd do away with tomorrow, would be the refs option of putting incidents "on report". I'd rather have a ref make a call and stick with it, rather than delegating the job to a panel on the following Tuesday night.

That's not a shoulder charge. It's a commonly misunderstood rule, people think a lot more tackles have been banned than actually have. He has to rotate his body for it to be a shoulder charge, no issues there if he had done the same thing but his him lower. It is a high tackle direct to the head though and should have seen red.

Agreed
