The ref didn't make our players fumble the ball on the floor, knock on, or throw forward passes. Nathan Brown didn't train them to do it either, they just had a nightmare - and it didn't help that spent the first 30 odd mins almost exclusively defending, and that killed our game.
Leeds were the better team, not a different class but better than us.

If you are fighting against the ref who is a self proclaimed Leeds fan, then you ain't gonna win. End of story. We got the cr@p end of the stick and that is it. Silverwood was biased. Not saying this because we lost at all. If he had been fair, I would stand up and say so, but what can you do when you are playing the ref? SOD ALL!
You should make friends with Pam the rhinos fan or whatever she is called from our boards, you two would get along.

It came off the Hudds player last, although only after each player had knocked it on so it should have been head and feed to Leeds. Oh well, about time the french man gave us one.
YOU HAD YOUR @R$ES SPANKED .
NOW GET ON WITH IMPROVING YOUR CLUB AND BUILDING A FAN BASE NOW THAT BRADFORD ARE ON THE WANE THERE ARE SPECCIES TO BE ATTRACTED

No complaints from me about the ref and the best team won.
Will watch it later on SKY.

Just watched the game again and he is offside. As Clarke said in the commentry, it hit Wild (?) so that might play Diskin onside. But IMO he was offside and it should have gone back to the knock on and been our scrum.
A lot has been made of your supposed dirty tactics by a number of people but didn't really see an awful lot wrong TBH, a few facials but nothing more than when we've played anyone else. I was very impressed with your defence tonight, thought the line speed was pretty good and we were forced to kick from our 30 on a number of occasions which obviously means you are easily back over half way but the amount of ball that was dropped let us off the hook.
All IMHO of course.

Griffin did't drop the ball near the Leeds line in the 1st haLF, IT WAS STRIPPED, BUT HE JUDGED A KNOCK ON.
Brett never touched whoever it was on our touchline, but he judged that the Leeds player involved was elbowed and there was zero contact.
If we are entitled to opinions on here, then mine is that Silverwood was very biased. Not because we lost, but because he was.
Play the game back on your sky+/Virgin+ whatever and tell me we weren't given the mucky end of the stick......
See ya tomorrow guys.

It was stripped and i thoiught the Faiumu one was worse but i think he missed a couple where we stripped the ball as well.

If that is the one where wild took out the kick chaser it was a penalty

Will watch it again later on SKy. I thought that wew were a little bit hard done by but not massively and it was our inability to perform when the cameras were there that cost us.
I mean Hodgson dropping a dolly from the KO unbelievable. Then kicking one dead

Just finished watching the sky+ recording.
Silverwood made a few cock-ups both ways, but they were crutial for us and not particularly for Leeds. Twice he gave knock ons for us when only a metre from the Leeds line, and they were plainly stripped.
I dont belive Hodgson`s try should have been denied for a forward pass, having rewound and looked twice, according to the field lines it was ok.
Also when Brown was looking to get the ball out when we were about 5 metres out, he did pass it back and it was knocked down by a Leeds player and we went on to touchdown and that was wiped off.
Also Leeds last try Peacock (only slightly) knocked the ball forward and was gathered by Leeds in an offside position, the try stood.
And a knock on by Moore near the end when we were on the Leeds line, well Mcguire was practically at the side of the Huddersfield player who was playing the ball, infact most of the Leeds players were not behind the line, but no penalty was forthcoming.
All told I think Leeds deserved the win, but the score should have been a lot closer, and with a fair crack of the 50-50s and a fair bounce of the ball
we could have been in with a shout.
Leeds defence was really good, but ours was quite good as well, just ended up as not our night on the night.

Didn`t Salford spank yours ????
And there`s nowt wrong with our fan base at the moment.
Remind me of the Leeds population in comparison to the Huddersfield population. And Leeds should be attracting 50,000 a game. I rest my case.
