Games today go on little things if, buts, and maybe's if Fox had grounded the ball and made it 12-12 would the outcome really be 16 points to Hudds, I don't think so...
To say they were 'well beaten' is a bit drastic.
i disagree, i thought we were well beat too, Huddersfield could have put even more points on us too but we only have Foxs disallowed try to look to. too many daft penalties and not enough ideas going forwards IMO

I think the first two tries came after harsh reffing decisions we see going the other way often. Even though Galea did not play at the ball, technically Mikali was in an offside position, but we see these overlooked regularly when they are tight decisions. I still feel we should have had a penalty when Colbon was taken without the ball, its irrelevant that he could not have stopped the player scoring, he was fouled, end of story.

i thought Colbon was too concerned with where Hodgson was, he should have just gone for the ball rather than dilly dally about waiting to be taken out
i agree the Macca offside was harsh but i think we got what we deserved, now we have to pick our heads up and move on to next weeks match.

Even Robinson was seen mouthing 'No Try' to one of his team mates ffs.

We did, Hudds were better, but who knows what could have happened had Colbon got a penalty, which should have been the right decision.

Exactly, the game hinge on 'what if's' and the smallest of things went their way, there was never 16 points between the two sides.
Huddersfield might have gone on to win, but to suggest we were 'well beaten' is a bit too much.
Huddersfield's first try - got the decision, whether rightly or wrongly, a suspicion of a double movement
Huddersfield's second try, was deemed to be no obstruction on Colbon, on another day it might have gone out way. Fox's try, just the smallest of touches would have done it, but it wasn't too be...
Don’t get me wrong, there pack did outmuscle ours and a few dumb plays on our part were to blame largely for not putting enough pressure on their line, maybe Huddersfield deserved to edge it, but did they warrant a 16 point gap??

I have watched it umpteen times and i fail to see just what decision the ref could give other than play on. But then again i watched it without blinkers, maybe you could lend me yours

It is the way of the weak to secretly bleat to those in authority rather than fight their own battles.
