The point is that the "decision making and leadership" would have seen us give away fewer penalties and have better field position and not be under the cosh at the end of every set. Yes, there have been plenty of games where Sinfield played that we've lost the penalty count, but that's the idea.

Also, I doubt he'd have taken McGuire's crazy optional kick, and it's probable he'd have worked the late drop goal better. So, all in all, despite what you've said that could have been quite a difference.

Agree entirely.

I stopped reading your post after i read that. If Huddersfield are the worst side you've seen this year then you must watch the game differently to other supporters and have not seen the likes of Hull, Wakey, Catalans, Wire, Widnes etc or infact don't actual understand rugby league in general.

Actually, I thought the opposite regarding the Mcguire punt kick, it's exactly something Sinfield has done before, the only difference is he executed it far better than McGuire did.
I'm not sure we'd have conceded fewer penalties either. A couple weeks ago Silverwood was very lenient with the offsides and seemed to control the PTB a lot better. We seemed to catch him on one of his nights where penalised everything.

Exactly. It's not like most of those penalties were wrong, it was our own indiscipline. Someone should have got a hold of that, and tried to stop the momentum. It's not as if we haven't faced similar scenarios many times over last twelve years, but we didn't capitulate like that. It was missing last week, and happened again this week.

Stop been a biased idiot. Huddersfield were absolute garbage that first half, a really poor side.

Your own fans were none stop moaning that time for Anderson to go, Cudroe is a waster, and where have you gone Brough. Soon changed their tune in the second half,

got to agree, hudds were terrible. on the back of all that they could only get a draw? ive never seen a ref be so inept. if that wasnt obstruction then i really have no idea what is. certainly not the first half leeds one!

as for the ref, he gave hudds 20m illegally leading up to their 2nd try. knock on on hudd 10m line, free play. hudds knock on in tackle 20ms down and he ignores it to give them first tackle claiming it was a free play. well i never realised on free plays the rules get ignored....
someone how we went from the most disciplined team of the season (65 pens all year) to very nearly doubling it under silverpud (ok slight exaggeration, but was it 12 in the end?!?!)

other than that i though we defended very well. it was only broughs kicking that finally unlocked out defence, but only on the back of some seriously sustained pressure.

as for the last minute burrow slip. im pretty certain it would of gone unstairs and St steve would of found an obscure rule to disallow it =/

Oh and any truth to this biting claim? had it been Hardaker who had done the biting im sure id have seen a vine on twitter trending by now

If you substitute Danny Mags for Huby it would have been a penalty for lurking in the line every day of the week.This was no different.

Seems anyone who disagrees with your opinion is a biased? Only you could suggest the Giants were worse than the likes of Widnes or Wakefield!!

They showed in the second half what a talented side they can be

first 10 minutes we were the better side, then you owned the rest of the first half, but 2nd half we were all over you, and as i've said on our board, credit to your defence for only conceding 16 points as we threw everything at you, i can't remember you getting anywhere near our line in the 2nd half until the last 6-7 minutes.

so if we were the worst team some of you have seen, then how bad must leeds be?

I thought Mulhern was excellent: he completely owned Crabtree. Gut feeling that Singleton and Mulhern could both have a big future in this team.

Keinhorst's contribution was also encouraging.

And Hardaker punching a player in the face in front of the sticks. No penalty

Yet when Aiton gets pushed at Leeds a penalty is given.

Anyway what was it with your away kit. I thought HULL FC had turned up by mistake
