How could you call that from the North stand?? Thats if you even went to the game.

what has that got to do with tonight's scoreline

One of the problems of the game here if you ask me. We have a two tier system where games on sky have the option of the video ref. Wrong decisons may or may not have been made last night (I could not get to Hull on a Friday night so I'll not comment on individual incidents) that would not have been made at Huddersfield due to the back up of the video ref. I believe in Australia they have a video ref at every game regardless of it being televised. Is this correct? If so maybe this is the way to go.

Didn't see anything wrong with the try either to be honest.

One gripe I had was the Ball Boy intentionally throwing the ball infield when Robbie Paul was ready for a quick tap - two balls on the field and momenum lost. Just a bit of cheating which needs to be sorted immediately at the KC.

Myler did have a quiet game last night from what i've heard. his performance against France last week was down to his forwards playing well he even said that in his interview. Last night our pack was very lightweight were not going to dominate matches with the forwards with Littler and Sibbit at second row, Littler isn't a forward and isn't SL standard and hasn't been for many a year and Sibbit isn't good enough. I would of preferred to have seen maybe Sidlow start at second row and maybe give Thornley a chance.

Thornley had a decent game early in the season at saints and he's not played in the 1st team since has he? Mcrae does make some strange decisions sometimes! Same with Sidlow, plays well 2 or 3 games on the bounce, then is left out for a month or so.

I think you'll find it cost us 3 places in the SL ladder that year and the difference between a home tie in the play-offs and a good hiding at Bradford. Fair bit of lost revenue there me thinks

having a video ref for a non tv game got trialled at the hull derby last season at craven park..but nothing came from it.

i think the cost is what is putting the RFL off, as they need several more cameras to be at every game to get enough camera angles to make it worthwhile.

And an extra official too, I suppose?

Thats our fantastic coach for you.
Do you think he will drop Smith for causing a penalty which ultimately cost us a possible point ?
He has his favourites, plays players out of position, and only has a plan A .
Apart from that he is fine

Double post

Yeah but we could say when Raynor dropped the ball in 2006 for the winning try at the willows makes it 2-1.

I had it on the radio and would like to see the penalty count. I was fumin when Wilshere kicked on the 2nd tackle considering Hulls defence seemed abit dodgy.

I'm getting to a stage now where I'm really fed up of referees decisions costing us, if you look back at this seasons fixtures wheve been on the end of some awful calls. I know people will think I'm just moaning about referees but every Salford fan who watches us every week will know what I'm talking about. It seems to happen more at the bigger stadiums for some reason.

It is funny how many fans decide they are level with an incident to try and back up their argument

You didn't see the Stanley Gene try last week then. Refs make mistakes even with tv replays its always been the case and always will be.

That makes a nice change as far as I'm concerned, normally we let teams get up and play the ball as quick as they like and allow opponents to slow us right down. Maybe McCrae has also noticed this and we've tried to sort the problem, sounds like it may need some more work though

the mistake there was not to go to the big screen when it is there, the ref oh a certain mr Bentham, same one we had at Hull on Friday night.

I'm sorry but despite the incompetance of the majority of ref's in our game you can't blame them for a single one of our loses. It's the 17 men in the team who are responsible for that.
Oh and the coach, his assistants, the physio, JW, Gordon Brown, Hazel Blears and Ignito

Same with Hull early in the season, we now seemed to have gone back to holding down for too long and giving away stupid penalties, like you we need to find the medium, Leeds and Saints are masters on this.

The is no point in banging on about referees making bad decitions, doesnt change anything and the referee protectors will defend them.
It was a poor dection against Salfod again but Salford didnt help themselves by turning the ball over TWICE (rachford not making tough and knocking on in the tackle?) just before half time to allow Hull to score the crutial try.

Thats what cost us the game. mental strength and being switched on 100% of the time is what salford need to improve on.

I had a good view and my first reaction was that it was a TRY, to be honest there was no other reaction I don't know what the ref saw.

And it was the ref's decision, not the touch judge's (who was as surprised as most people with the decision!)

so in all that game u picked up on them 2 points what about swain dropping the ball 3 times and also jeremy smith giving a penalty away when he had the ball"which tickle kicked 2 give them a 14-12 lead "which i think is the crucial point

Whilst it is true that sometimes referees decisions are not the sole reason for us losing I feel that as paying customers of the game we have a right to complain when someone does their job as badly as we have seen referees do theirs at times over the years, especially when ultimately (whatever mistakes we make during the course of the game) it costs us two points which on this occasion it did.
