Ball in hand I agree, his kicking game however was superb. On more than a few occasions did I think he hit it too long, only for it to scuff up and hold in the in goal area (not that it mattered, as Huddersfield were walking down the pitch!)

And now Brough kicking out and punching.

Brough should get 2-3 for that. Kicked then punched, no idea why Whiting was binned.

If brough is deemed to have deliberately kicked whiting (which I believe he did) and makes full, aggressive contact (more debatable, the contact was certainly there, but i don't know, it's hard to argue it's not aggressive but it's not a proper kick) then he's facing the same grading as Ferres did (E-F) - I'd expect B-D (light contact, more likely C-D given the striking after and it was pretty clear cut) even if he's not called out for that, the fouls and abusive language after the Ellis rip should see him up before the beak.

Grix on a striking charge - if it's considered sustained (which given multiple were thrown (6 according to vt) seems likely) carries C-D

Crabtree on a dangerous throw - Cumberland throws aren't graded (merely given A-F) they're not particularly dangerous or fashionable any more, but still outlawed (was a great judo throw though! There was definite use of the leg and sweep through to take talona(sp) off balance for me) and I'd say A-B

Probably a few more incidents, as it was a very scrappy game, and Huddersfield were amazingly ill disciplined.

These are the last things you need going into Easter! Wonder if it's more biased rfl out to knock them down ...

I think the reactions of both Anderson and the Huddersfield club to the drop goal fiasco on Sunday have not served the team well at all. They all felt hard done to and got all steamed up about the ref's decision. All that has served to do is get certain members of the team irate, causing serious ill discipline and any hope of a win last night to fly away over the Humber bridge. I thought it was a shame to see the team which performed so well last season morph into what was on TV last night. That transformation appears to have been led by Danny Brough.

Bad ill-tempered play is just as infectious as good play is in a team’s performance as we all know, and the fact is that despite all Danny Brough’s abilities his rants and dummy spiting IMO will always stop him from being the complete package.
