As a giants fan you were head and shoulders the best team today and fully deserved to win regardless of the " forward pass " however from my view it did look forward

I thought we were very sloppy with the ball in hand and did not respect the ball when we had it.

are we talking about the one that wasn't allowed or your last that was



prefer to be the worst of the two and sneak the points though

Game could and should have been wrapped up before the controversial final minute. Lacked composure in their 20 and gifted a lot of possession. The 2 missed conversions were very costly in the end.

I'd have been happy with a draw today but would still feel the way I do now; a game that got away.

We bombed it like you say.

Broughy missed the first 2.

Even Anderson has said the best side lost today.Do I feel cheated yes I do but then again I didnt expect us to be given a chance to win with Silverwood.

The pass looked fine to me tgere was certainly no complaints from the Hudds players.
The 20m restarts the ref (in hindsight) got right.
If the player with ball gets to the tap restart before the ref that (as I now understand it) is ok, as Hudds did. If the ball is passed forward for another player to take the restart in front of the ref, in our case - it isn't.
Personally I thought the ref had a stinker and was IMO blatantly favouring Hudds, that said we didn't help ourselves and had our first ten minutes and poor handling not blighted our game we would have beaten the previously unbeaten Giants - no question.
Plenty of positives to take into round 4.

As Luke Robinsons dad said, they got the rub of the green. Good game and we should fear no one, but I don't think Wilkes will be playing next week, 3penalties costing 4 points. Lasted 15 minutes never to be brought on again.

enjoyed the game a lot today, pack were great, ignored the weird reffing, especially the pack binding obsession, and noy sure re final pass even though it was right in front of me, many positives,

Gutted is an understatement tbh, should have sealed it before the Smith 'Try' but when that wasn't given, talk about going from ecstasy to agony in a matter of seconds.

Wilkes had a very poor game for me while he was on probably due one but I dont in any way blame him for the result.

one thing we did get cheated out of was it was set up for the fans to do the harem shake, heard the music start but soon stopped when it when the try was disallowed

shame that would of love to see the stadium rock

Totally robbed by Silverwood there, but in reality if our handling had been better we would have won anyway. Some of the passing was worse than schoolboy! But having said that, our pack dominated, BC had a blinder and we were very unlucky to lose.

With regards Silverwood, how was the Wilkes knock on given as a penalty? Surely a scrum?

dont think he actually knocked on, kneed it forward in the end and smith dived on ball, offside, no choice really they would have walked over the line otherwise

I can understand how gutted you must be because you deserved the win and we know we used the get out of jail card today.

Play like that each week and you're going to have a good season.
The new stand creates a good atmosphere and must lift your team.

Good luck for the rest of the season.

I thought we’d managed an unlikely victory, without seeing the play again I couldn’t call it.

If I was still able to stand in my usual place I would have got a better view, however, I couldn’t bare to stand among a bunch of uber- biased Huddersfield fans baying for blood, deriding Silverwood & constantly shouting Fartown, just let it go

.

I thought we stood up well today, whether we can play like that week after week is another matter, but to be a decent side that’s what we'll have to do.

The biggest disappointment for me today was Timmy’s performance, not his best.

If one good thing comes out of todays defeat thats the side never gave up the ghost.

Lots of effort.
Hope they put that effort in every week.

Just about sums it up for me!

My first impression was that the pass was forward, although I do want to see it again on SL Fulltime later.

I was disappointed in Silverwood's inconsistency, but ultimately the game was there for the taking if we hadn't made a couple of stupid mistakes.
Having said that, I was extremely proud of how we fronted up to the league leaders and probably the biggest pack in SL.

As has been said by others, if we can play to that level of intensity every week we'll win more than we lose.

I don't blame any player, the game was lost on the referee's call. I take great heart from the spirit showed by the players, the rugby played in the last quarter showed that we can compete with the best and play great attacking rugby! If we can try and play as we did in the last quarter then the only way is up!

Thanks. That's very fair...probably too fair! We made a lot of errors. Our last 25 mins was strong and probably deserved the win but you cant go giving the top of the league side 10 points start and expect to win...Silverwood or no Silverwood

One that got away - we were certainly the best team on the park and but for a couple of sloppy efforts with ball in hand, we'd have beaten them by a decent margin.

I don't like to blame the official, but Mr Silverwood was shockingly one-eyed today; I can live with the odd missed forward pass, but the amount of time he let them lay on and roll around in the ruck was criminal - it was blatant at times and went largely unpunished. He and all of his 'assistants' also missed the Shudds player running in to get involved in a melee with Poore - I understood that to be a sin-binning offence?

Plenty of positives to take from the game, but can't help feeling cheated; very disappointing.

Regardless of the forward pass, or for that matter the pass for hudds final try( I was in north stand ,so difficult to call either one ) the amount of hudds head high tackles that went unpenalised was ridiculous. Fielden and Crabtree both seemed incapable of bending their backs.

Didn't get much off Silverwood all game but my first reaction was the pass was forward. That said Mcgillvrays third was worse. Huddersfield are an awful side to watch though, they niggle away for the full 80 and the referee let them get away with it. But if we play with that much effort every week we will win more than we lose.
