Anyone know what it was. My mate is dobbin and hes giving it the big about us having a 14th man ang getting all the decisions. I thought it was an equal count. I need to text him the facts and shut him up (hopefull) hes getting on my tits.

think it was level or not too far off, ask him bowt the penalty count when they got beat by an understrength rhino's team the other week

I wouldnt worrie about it, a wins a win, we're current top of the table... if he's got no life and find its good to bleat on about our win.. he's the one with the problem eh

also if i remember right, they scored thier 2nd and 3rd tries on the backs of two consecutive penalties, think count was 6 all, this was same ref who never penalised the filth in 2nd half v saints

Yes they did. Thought the ref made some awful calls early on against us too.

The penalty count according to the Hull Daily Mail was Huddersfield 4 Hull FC 7.

hardly high then

Not to mention the blatant forward pass that put them in to score a try that got missed by the officials.

The Fairplay index shows us as having conceded fifteen penalties between rounds 1 and 3, so thats just nineteen in four games. Probably another reason for our good start to the season.

think it was 8-5 in hull's favour or something like that,could have should have been more i thought tho

true, smith missed several high tackles on r horne!

we got away with some

i didnt see nothing wrong with the ref if hull shouldnt of been so stupid and think that they would get away with it

Three times he gave the wrong call on knock-ons and deprived us of possession - twice on their line and one on ours that resulted in a goal line drop out. The two on their line were both blatant and he was right on top of them.

Otherwise one of Smith's better games. Which isn't saying a lot, mind.

dont think he was too bad apart from a couple which looked a bit harsh and i thought from a giants perspective he let hull hang on a bit too long in the tackle, but he certainly didnt change the outcome of the game

tbh i was more interested in what hull were doing then the ref

i think he let both teams get away with quite alot tbh

Don't think i vented my spleen once at the ref which is rare. Spent more time will my head in my hands watching two poor team try their best to look crap, obviously we won in that department.

i think you are being very harsh to hull fc, or are you just bitter you lost?

granted we should have posted a few more scores on you, but we did a proffesional job last night, if you're squad can't control the ball, that's not our problem

I'd have given you more credit if you had beaten us by a decent amount rather than 4 points. To say you beat us by 4 points when we played garbage doesn't say much for your guys. We'll both need to improve(and i think we will) if we are to do anything this season.

I thought Hull were poor TBH so I think you'll likely finish in the bottom 3 on that basis

oh well, i guess good teams get dragged down to a lower level at times

Very true mate. We've played some good rugby against the top teams this year so far. Playing you teams from the bottom last season makes it hard for our boys to lift ourselves i suppose!!

That's you 4th from bottom then

yes, it must've been galling for you losing last night, after beating bradford away, stuffing the french in their own backyard, pushing the mighty saints to the wire, you must've been expecting a walkover!!

the scoreline didn't reflect the game, 1-17 man to man we won in every department

I'll echo that !!!!
