its a shame he's resorted to that, he could have commented on 2 great performances and a superb advert for the game, instead it now looks like a case of sour grapes.

No mention of anything like it here at the postmatch interview www.castigers.com/cgi-bin/tigertv.cgi?115

The Beeb have slightly exaggerated TM's reaction if you ask me. Tiger TV has a 'proper' live interview with him and the comments he makes there are bob on for my money (as are Brett Ferres'). It's disappointing to keep on hearing about 'dumb footie' I suppose but to be fair that's what it was at times tonight.

We were on the end of a pretty generous penalty count but ATEOTD the Giants brought it on themselves, no matter how defensive Vladimir Brown wants to get about grapple tackles. We just blew too many of the chances on offer, s'all.

you are right you were on the end of a pretty generous penalty count. you had the lions share of possession .they were down a man for ten mins. if hudders had had these advantages, think they would have won by at least 12. matterson should learn to accept defeat graciously, as other good coaches do. he just embarrasses himself. by the way, glad you have got ferres

What more does he want to win a game? A ridiculously one sided penalty count, I've not seen a team been awarded so much territory in a game for a long time. He wants have a hard look at his own team for not been able to make it count rather than the sour grapes.

"I think the penalties in the second half were 6-0 and it should have been 16-0" What a quote from a defeated coach. It's not often you get a 6 nil penalty count in one half of RL, it's just not enough for some people.

Especially when Cas were just as guilty of being offside, holding downand interfereing at the ruck.

It was 8-1, Cas giving away their only penalty in the last minute, overall it was 14-5

Discipline is an area of our game which seems to have improved greatly this year.

I accept that my view may be as biased as yours, but ...

No we weren't

ive got to agree with matterson,hudds were attacking the head in the tackle luke robinson was by far the worst.by attacking the head i dont mean high shots but its a wrestling technique that is banned in the nrl and needs to be stomped out of the game over here.

imo the penalty count was areflection on the game and the only strange decision was how knowone had been sin binned earlier.

this isnt sour grapes has hudds deserved their win but i can fully understand matterson not been happy about his players been attacked.

To be fair to him he is never usually bitter after a defeat and I do agree that Huddersfields dicsipline at times was shocking but we had enough penaltys and enough of the ball to put the game beyond Huddersfield but we failed to do that. I personally think if Owen had tried to run that ball he kicked dead from his in goal area then we would have won as Huddersfield got the ball and scored a try straight from the drop out. But It's all what Ifs. We need to put this beyond us and take the positives into Fridays game.

So are we, been great in defence and scored 4 tries in 5 appearances, a very good start all in all.

That's hilarious. You obviously saw nothing of the match in that case.

To be fair, although not a Cas or Shuddersfield fan, but there supporting Cas with mates, he is not that far off the mark.

The reffing was certainly inconsistent. If he had have been consistent with the decisions, the penatly count would have been far closer.

That said, although it is embarrasing for coaches to not be gracious in defeat, what Matterson said was not wrong. Shuddersfield were grapple tackling often.

Exactly. Cas were getting off the player quickly which is something Huddersfield have't done and that's been going on for years with them.

we did alot of it last season but it seems to have gone out of our game this year

Huddersfield were getting more men in the tackle, which is why we controlled the ruck more.

Cas were just holding down and in many cases flopping on.

Huddersfield were penalised, correctly for their infringements each time, Cas got away with it, or are you actually suggesting there wasnt a single offence caused by Cas in that second half?

Kin ell mate, you're like a terrier with an old slipper. You won, let it go...

You might think that. The official – and objective – record disagrees.

That's funny.

[url=http://www.therfl.co.uk/about/disciplinary.phpRFL Disciplinary Panel[/url disagree with HMMMMMMMatterson (I've always wanted to type that)

Really? "Penalty sufficient", "Unnecessary contact with neck of tackled player", "Player contact with neck of opponent but benefit given to defender that he was completing tackle and not intending to injure", "Unnecessary pressure on joint in 78th minute – warning letter" are hardly acquittals without a stain on your character

Having watched again on Sky+ how Wild stayed on I'll never know, check the 15 pens, must be 8 against him.......

How can a team conceed 15 penalties, and only get 1 sin-binning?

Straight after Cudjoe went for 10, Wild did the same again, Ganson (and Cummins) are a joke

Worst trolling effort I've seen in some time.
