Unlucky Crusaders, thought you should have won today

Good Luck Huddersfield

Huddersfield are lucky gits with that last try.

Thought Crusaders deserved to win.

Mee Too

It was never a sin binning

So Unlucky

Hope we get some of Huddersfields luck tonight!!!!

Crusaders certainly didn't have the bounce of the ball, everything seemed to go against them. Deserved more than they got today.

It was a stupid penalty and a professional foul. Thaler had no option

Absolutely. Stupid by James and it possibly cost Crusaders the game

Crusaders can have no complaints over the sinbinning, it was the correct decision. Jordan James is obviously as stupid as he looks. McLaren_Field's "Big Daft Lads" theory in evidence once again.

However, just after the sinbinning there were several decisions that went Huddersfield's way and saved their bacon somewhat.

PS.

at Crusaders' "Fat Robbie Savage" song

Hmm, from the other point of view it was a totally deserved sin binning and Thaler had no option

And the Crusaders were being taken back a VERY short 10m and allowed all the time they wanted to hold on...not to mention the numerous second shoves in the tackle, headshots, grapple tackles that went on...

In shot, Thaler was shocking and both sets of fans can complain...

But, Crusaders wanted the game much more than the Giants did who need a kick up their backsides for their complacency...even though barring the interception put in some impeccable defence and Crusaders never really looked like they would score.

Lovely offload from Griffin to Patrick though.

I must admit, even I laughed at the Fat Robbie Savage chant. 10.5/10 from me.

I reckon, and I could be wrong here, that IF the Crusaders had scored more points than Huddersfield they would have won!

I don't think the match officials scored any points.

the last but one try that was scored by hudders was so far forward it was a joke. Linesmen in rugby league are beyond pathetic

2 things

This games DOES NOT have "linesmen"!

Where were you positioned to make this judgment compared to the touch judge or referee?

your fitting in just nicely mate

If you mean the offload from Griffin (I think it was him), there was nothing wrong with it. Good offload at speed that came out of the back of the hand so can't be classed as a forward pass.

Leeds fan explaining about forward passes, you couldn't make it up.

Obviously some people need a forward pass explaining to them if they think that Griffin's offload was forward.

I didn't think that it was forward but I'm not a qualifed Referee or a Leeds fan.

so the fact that huddersfield scored 3 cracking tries to crusaders sole lucky interception try didn't affect the outcome??
fwiw i thought some of thalers decisions were pretty baffling for both sides.
we simply had more bottle than crusaders,who were the better team in possession but tries win games not possession.

I thought the sin binning was incredibly harsh given that Hudds didn't appear to be set-up to take a quick restart (mainly due to how ball when dead), but it did confuse me when in the Hull derby Peter Fox wasn't sinbinned for a more obvious professional foul. It's just not consistent.

It might have been harsh, but it was the right call.

shame the TJ couldnt have come on sooner in the game to point out the infringments that Cru were commiting in the ruck to slow the Giants down.

End of the day Giants scored 3 tries to 1 interception.

Some witty banter on this thread, needs liking.
Overall I thought Cru were slightly hard done to at times, not Thalers best game but the Sin binning was blatant imo, correct call

A Huddersfield fan complaining about other teams slowing the game by holding down and grappling in the tackle.

Can someone fetch my replacement irony meter...?

It wins you the minor champions title, so why not? I take it you dont watch much RL?

the point however was that one single incident didnt change the game.

There can be no complaints regarding the sin-binning. The knock-on from Lupton in the tackle, is a whole different matter.
