Maybe you need a louder hooter! Was driving me mad at the end, kept thinking i'd heard it and I hadn't, it's so high pitched it blends in with the crowd noise.

Incorrect. The referee calls the end with his whistle, don't play to that and you'll be punished.

Granted, the ref should have blown his whistle after the hooter sounded if he deemed the play was dead, but he didn't and there was still one tackle to play out before the end of the half.

spot on there trace, never heard the hooter at the end of either half over the crowd noise in our stand, if it's cost wigan 6 points you'd think the club would get a louder one!

[size=200I find Hooters distracting[/size

would have noticed them last night

On that logic those six points back would mean our early second half try would have put us into a 12-0 lead and you would not have clawed that back in that weather.

It doesn't matter all I'm saying (as I wrote in my site match report) is that if that was the other round you lot on here would equally be screaming blue murder, although I do accept that the referee's whistle is final. Also if you do read the report on my site you will notice that I'm not fingering the blame solely at the referee. We had our chances second half but no craft or guile to get over.

An excellent away following last night and an excellent game.

The first half was stunning! The tackling from both sides was superb and some of the hits your lads withstood to come back from and still look fresh were awesome.

That was our most punishing defensive display in years and you still beat us so that shows what a good side you are.

Good luck fir the rest of the season.

Thanks for that
It would be nice to have a rematch sometime...I dont know... back end of August perhaps

It was an odd decision and certainly helped our cause as much as our try that should've stood helped yours. IMHO I thought we got all the 50-50 decisions up to the final 15 minutes and then you got nearly everything. At the end of the day it's not the first and it won't be the last time we're talking about the ref after a game.

it that those final minutes after the 80mins had been played?



also could no understand why they got a scrum near there 25 at the end when they kicked it behind goal... anyone near that corner that saw what happened?

Ref adjudged that Dobson hadnt kicked the ball through before it hit the floor, so knock on awarded.

Because 80 mins hadn't been played?
The stadium clock keeps going even when the ref has stopped the official time!

As for the scrum on the 20 - Same as what he said although I thought he knocked on nearer to the 10 than the 20 but that was from 70 yards away!

It could have been on the 10, because surely, if he let the ball hit the ground first, its the same as an attempted drop, and if it then went dead , its back to the 20, for a restart. IMO of course.

Don't think so?

I would say it would just go down as a Knock on???? Should have been scrum from wherever that was.

Why are attempted and missed drop kick attempts not deemed Knock ons then?

I'm not sure that's fair? You scored two tries which were both from line breaks, largely duw to the conditions which gave Briscoe little chance. Over the recent Super League era, I've never had as much confidence in any area of our game as I currently do in our goal line defence. We have a very good attack and 12-0 would not have been game over with 35 minutes to go.

Yes was right in front of it , there player palmed the ball out it was a deffo drop out under the sticks. Don't know how silverwood missed it !

The reason for the scrum as said before was that ref called it as a knock on from the kick so whatever happend in the in goal area didnt matter.

Was my first trip to the JJB and i thought it was a very nice ground to go too, and as one man said to me whilst in the gents its nice ing on black and white. It did make me chuckle

If other clubs brought half as many to CP we'd be averaging over 10,000 by now. Shame most other Sl clubs don't have fans as committed as ours!

What are you giving it, you one match wonder

shame 7,000 of you couldnt commit to YOUR team when they were in the lower league

or your team when they where down in the lower league

And out of 146234 population of Huddersfield you cant even find 7000 regulars when in the top division!

We were the best supported team outside of the Super League consistently for many years, home and away, so your post holds very little relevence to this thread!!

miaw !!!!!!!!
