What a kick at the end from your man Hodgson really held his nerve, great kick !

agree great kick

but shouldnt we of had a try just before that with brown getting tackled without the ball hmmmmmmm

And then Hodgson being tackled without the ball.

Thank you Mr Silverwood.

Oh, and I notice that from Mr Bentham's viewpoint HKR were never offside.

Mmmm.

Oh do be quiet.

A draw was the fair result in the end.

I thought Brown was tackled withou the ball too

Didn't you get the draw with a penalty that shouldn't have been given ?

No, we got a draw form a penalty that should have been win from a penalty try.

HTH

From a mutal point of view he went for the ball he didn't go for the tackle

If it was the other way round you would have all agreed it's rugby league a contact sport not tiddlywinks

i'm happy with 1 point - it wa deffo 1 point gained in my opinion, will hold judgement on the 2 decisions at the end till i see them again but i dont think we did enough to win the game tonight

Jeez Stevo, shouldn't you have left the Sky Sports Studio now!

I think i'll trust Terry Matterson's non-biased opinion over this one, anyhow.

Unless your a wind up merchant..

Fair result for me, not the highest quality but a very exciting game. It really came to life for the last half hour. I think you probably played to around 65% of your ability and we were around 85%.

The last few plays offer up enough talking points for a season, was Lolesi offside? I thought so, was it a tackle without the ball? At first glance yes but the hand around the man appeared to be going for the ball, could have easily been a penalty try. Isn't there a gentleman's agreement to have uncontested scrums? Why was Rovers pack so unprofessional as to allow Huddersfield one against the head? Isn't a penalty try if you're tackled in the air in the in goal?

All topped off with a fantastically classy player kicking one off the touchline with the last kick of the game.

Brilliant, brilliant entertainment.

Yes it is.

That's not the only issue though is it?

League points aside, I really think this was a brilliant game that ended perfectly.

I'm being a bit of a romantic, and deserve to get shot down in flames but this result will have little impact at the end of the season and came close to a near perfect game of TGG for me.

Just as an aside (and I'll believe anyone who answers truthfully) was Lolesi offside from the kick or given benefit of the doubt because he was out of shot? I only saw the replay at the game and wasn't well positioned for the big screen.

BTW- Thank you very much Wishy for the ticket, guaranteed trip to CP for you and The Nipper for all HKR-Barracudas (

) games from now on!

No, you are right. In all honesty how many chances did Huddersfield bomb, never mind chances? Stone cold 100% try scoring opportunities, all because of a bad pass, or lack of one?

A thrilling game that both sides could have won - how long were KR on the Giants line without a score? So perhaps a point a piece is fair.

but we could have knocked Hull FC down a spot this weekend, see what its cost you Rovers

Usain Lolesi it must be, He couldn't have been more offside if he was stood on our tryline.

How could you have knocked Hull FC down a spot? would you have got 4 points for a win tonight?

He'd have to have made 14 meters in a second to get that ball. Impossible.

Still, great game. And FINALLY we manage a point against you! FINALLY!

not since 2007

good peformance form giants again with such a injury hit squad

for me it was a point gained.i thought overall a draw was the fair result,as daz says we didnt do enough to win the game but again showed fighting spirit to come back again,this time from 12-0 down.
i thought rovers were much the better side in the first half and played with great endeavour,while we, again!, made too many basic unforced errors which possibly cost us the game? i must also congratulate both teams on their discipline,compared to last week i dont think there were more than 6 penalties in the game? certainly i cant remember bentham pinging rovers for offside once or for moving off the mark which they did quite a few times which was good to see from a referee (?)
bu at despite this i thought the end was a superb advert for entertainment and sheer nerve wracking viewing,i went with a mate last night who's a town fan and it was his first game of RL and he couldn't beleive how exciting it was compared to football, and wasn't it great seeing the rovers fans celebrating a rare win over us only to slump in their seats when the MOS booted that point saver over

great stuff,great game,great sport

A penalty try can only be given if the player being fouled would have scored; Hodgeson may have scored had Fox let him land but there was as good a chance that Fox would have tackled him into touch anyway, had he held his nerve. He didn't want to risk it so took the decision to give away a penalty. the only decision the ref could give.
