Thought this one was worth a special thread of it's own....

For all the team deserve an enormous amount of credit for pulling that one out of the bag, I think we should all be very grateful to Mr Hicks for some very generous penalties late on.... Twice Ablett simply slopped the ball backwards with absolute minimal contact from a Hudds player and he gave the decision our way....

We're usually quick to hammer a ref, so thought I'd take a moment to appreciate a couple of crucial calls going our way for once (albeit incorrect calls - Hudds will rightly feel very aggrieved)... Thank you Robert!!!

Sinfield collected a grubber and got it knocked on by Ferres near our line which should've been a penalty to us but wasn't,

All in all his calls evened out in the wash.....and he didn't even have to be homosexual to get the gig.

Hicks was a refreshing change. The penalty count was about 5-4 in our favour? He let the game flow, which is what everyone wants. Take note Silverwood and Child

Who was the absolute tool who was running/diving when Sinfield was going for the conversion. We should have had another penalty from that. The player in question should have been off

Jack Hughes, on loan from Wigan, so no surprise.

....another penalty?
The award for the most ridiculous post of all time on any Fans Forum thread goes to....

Stuart Cummings said the same thing on the Sky commentary - so it must be correct

Calm down. Evidently you have know idea what I'm referring to

Pretty much anything Smokey TA or Sal Paradise has ever written???

said it on twitter last night. hicks ignored a lot of petty infringments from both sides and the game was better for it.

We would have been penalised out of the game, had a certain other ref been the man in the middle.

Hicks has come on massively this season, ever since Magic Wedkend. It's like someone's took over him.

Thought he had a fair game. For me he was pretty consistent which is really what you want. Refs, just like players will always get bits wrong but as long as they are consistent in how they apply the rules I'm happy.

I thought the two penalties late on fire ablett looked soft, though on replays looked just about correct. Good to see him letting the gane flow and it was an enjoyable spectacle

I did actually think Hicks had a good game overall, let the game flow and just let the 2 teams go at it - facilitated the game very well, which allowed for the game to be very enjoyable - something some of the other refs could learn from.

However, those last couple of 'interference' penalties were generous, we'd have been fuming with Hicks if we'd been in Hudds shoes..
