Huddersfield had a great game last night, they were awesome in defence, your coach has certainly got his players up for it now, best team won on the day i've no complaints, 1 or 2 silly mistakes by both sides and the ref, saying that Huddersfield never looked like losing well done.

Well you've had the benefit of speaking to the people watching it on the TV, I haven't.

From the side stand I thought it was the 40, it's Silverwood we're talkign about.

Many people during the game thought he'd got it wrong, but fortunately for us your team messed up the opportunity that came.

Er my team won 22-6. I just don't see the point in moaning about something that didn't happen. Now the two forward passes and the knock on by a Hull KR player that resulted in head and feed to them in the lead up to their try. That's a different matter

very solid display, a few mistakes but could put down to the weather?

i thought defensively we were never troubled, KR lacked any idea's in attack and only sliding kicks seem to trouble us.
i thought to be honest we never really got out of 3rd gear in the 2nd half and had we done, could have rattled another 20 -30 points up, still a wins a win against the king of kings

What I still can't understand was how Silverwood gave that 40-20 to HKR, he must have seen it 5 times on the screen and the kicker was not in his own 40 meters when he kicked it??

some of his decisions were baffling to say the least.
as the examiner states this morning,silverwood is consistently,inconsistent

I know our team deservedly won 22-6

Why is it a moan, I and many others seemed baffled as to how he came to that decision, we genuinely believed it to be wrong, and one that went to video replay.

There were many things missed by the officials during the game but thats life, the one above had the benefit of video replays.

Moan was probably the wrong word. It would have been nice to get some clarity on decicisions like that though. When you're at the ground you have no idea why the decision is given. A graphic on the screen showing which line was which or something. You're right it's ok if your at home with the benefit of Eddie and Stevo, actually no scrap that last bit, but when you're at the match you just see a line and the player kicking the ball. It's no wonder people get on referees backs.

Anyhoo great team performance. Kudos to all those mentioned but I thought that Aspinwall had a great game as well. He isn't a flashy speedy type winger but he was great under the high ball and regularly beats the first man running it out of defence. He often falls forward in the tackle as well allowing for a quick play the ball.

We don't seem to have the metres marked out lately, which would have helped to clear things up.

That was a 40-20 - 32-18 in fact. I though the 40 metre line should also be marked in red. There was a line marked between the one from where the kick took place and half way and I don't think they do 45 metre lines in TGG.
