, Mason. Only 2 regular first-teamers in those 5.

Forgot to mention the regulars who were absent: Brown, Aspinwall, Whatuira, Brown, Moore, & Kirmond.

Huddersfield are going to become a problem for Super League the way things are going.

They seem to have a coach who wants to introduce wrestling techniques and spoiling tactics. Or anything else on the borderline of legality that might give his side an edge.

That's very good for Huddersfield but very bad for Super League as a spectacle.

I do believe that last season they wouldn't have got away with half of it. But the stats show that refs are awarding only half the penalties this year than last. Great news for the spoilers.

Sooner or later if this is not stopped every team will follow suit. For the good of Super League as a whole the RFL must instruct referees to clamp down.

Deary me. How pathetic. Thought your nickname was "Robins" not "Whinos".

His record of 21 posts in 3 years would suggest that he doesn't speak for the club!

I agree completeley, its the holding down and pushing of the offside that really gets me, it makes for a terrible game. Time after time on the scrum Hudds has no interest and broke a number of times.

If the ref had stamped his mark early in the game i think the game would have been alot more of a spectacle, the constant pushing of the rules and incosistency from the ref left us frustrated.

Quins are a team which have a similar style to Hudds, the seem to slow the game down to the point it barely moves.

Fair play to Hudds they desereved the win but as a sporting spectacle it was dismal.

Is that you Justin

No, not enough moaning about Mr Thaler.

Thaler was an embarrassment to decency in refereeing, he was so biased it was sickening.

Hudds were better than us, I agree, they deserved their win without a doubt, but its difficult for a side to get any momentum going at the play the ball when the officials totally ignore the rules of offside for 80 mins (apart from when he penalised us for it). The disgusting policing of their defensive line was also contrubutory to the two injuries to Fozzy and Lovegrove, they were hit before they had chance to get moving, not because the Hudds players were on speed, but because they were two metres in front of the officials and got away with it.

Look lads and lasses,when that French berk cost us a game and we whinged about it,we got pilloried by some of you lot,now your doing the same,double standards methinks.

Some breathtaking hypocrisy on display from both fans and coach.



I think the word 'diddums' seems most appropriate at this time.

Especially since this is his reaction to controversial refereeing decisions that Rovers benefit from:

"We have been on the end of good and bad calls all season. Everyone has. It is what gets in the box at the end and that’s two points for us.”
