Just back from the game.

Absolutely no way was that an 18 point ball game. A good performance by Sts but constantly off side and more forward passes than the New England Patriots.

I thought Alibert was absolutely shocking.

I presume he isn't allowed to ref the Catalans game.

All in all

According to Radio Yorkshire and Radio Merseyside the ref had a good game and was spot on with his judgement of forward passes both for Hudds and Saints. In this game of ours you take your chances when they are given - you didn't and we did.

The ref can't stop you getting over the line. I had radio on which said saints controlled the game from the first min.

Never minds Giants. We'll try to arrange Ian Smith to ref next time. That house will get you over the line...
Hudds will be there or thereabouts at the end of the season.

poor execution was Giants undoing today.Had the chances but wasted them

Must admit I was worried about this game beforehand but that was probably our best display this season.

Refs fault AGAIN?? Just take it, you lost

Saints played well we didn't. No there probably wasn't 18 points between the two sides but I don't imagine Nathan Brown will be too happy about our defence for several of the Saints tries. You can't let Saints have a 10 point start especially not in those conditions and if you're going to spurn as many chances as we did.

Thought Raleigh had probably his best game of the season today and Brown probably his worst. Was also impressed with Wheeler for Saints.

Alibert i thought was shocking but he missed things from both sides so ces't la vie.

Good to hear all the comments from those who heard it on the radio. That enables you to take an objective view !

I didn't say saints didn't deserve to win. But the ref was shocking and no way it was an 18 point game. Good unbiased report on the BBC (for a change).

Felt sorry for the Saints lad who went over the boards at Half time. Certainly not a deliberate bad challenge.

Glad to hear an opposition fan say this. Wheeler is a kid who is well liked by the Saints fans and rated by many within the club. Outside KR he is very underated.

Lost it in the first half, just didn't do enough and left ourselves with a mountain to carry second half.

Not sure the scaoreline showed how close it was but ATEOTD the better team won.

Ref was poor and Saints were a will drilled side and deserved the victory. A very hard side to break down today. Congratulation on the win and a great following by your fans as per usual.

I've never seen the garlic muncher have a decent game even when we haven't been involved. It's time he was dropped and a young ref from the NL was given a go.

The ref was fine. He got the key decisions right. We have to give French referees a chance. Like blooding their players at Catalans and Toulouse their referees also have to be given the stage upon which to grow. Alibert isn't the best refereee ever, some of his interpretations and general control are at times suspect, but he is a far, far better referee now than when he began refereeing in Super League.

Totally dissagree with all that mate. He's the worst ref i've ever seen and i've been saying that for a few years not just because we lost today. He's had at least 3 years over here now and he's got worse if anything.

The top teams seem to beat you dont they, wire, saints, tells you thing ha.

I think Saints were in control of the game aside from probably a 10 minute spell in the second half. I didn't think the ref gave anything too dodgy from where I was stood. If anything he pulled back what looked a legit try from Kyle Eastmond for a forward pass. The Giants had plenty of possession but didnt really create much with it. Thought Robinson was your best player today. From us it was a really good all round team performance and difficult to pick out a man of the match but I would go for Wheeler.

I try not to worry about or comment on the officials. Yes they make mistakes and give puzzling decisions at times but generally they even out. In my experience 99% of the time the team taking the points home usually are the best team. I dont think anyone could seriously say we were not the best team on the day today.

Good luck for the rest of the season.

Leeds? Hull KR? 2 teams in the top 4 last year

It dose. They played and performed better then the Giants. I'm not worried as I know we will be in the playoffs come end of season.

Saints were by far the better team all the way through and deserved their win, but that is without doubt the worst reffing I have seen in over 30 years of watching the game

If the radio commentators thought he did well, then either they were watching a different game to me (alibert certainly was) or talking out of their hats.

Well done saints, you took your chances (even when they were manufactured by Alibert) and we didnt (including the penalty try we missed out on but should have had)

I think they must of because he was shocking.

I was sat amongst you Huddersfield fans and could not believe the sheer volume of shouts for forward when it was clear the passes were not even close to forward.

On the odd occassion when players did pass the ball forward it was picked up, with one exception.

This exception was when Saints moved the ball right and one of the passes was clearly forward. Disastrously for Hudds the ref then pulled Hudds up for a penalty for a high short or lying on(cant remember exactly why), Saints then went down the field and scored.

Take not kids. Drugs make you see things differently just like this nasty mister
