| Myler was dreadful last night - how he gets a run is beyond me. Offers nothing in attack other then slowing it down. Someone mentioned his broken field play - it was non-existent compared to how he used to play.
His kicking game was a disgrace.
The only plus point was his defence - and that was found wanting on Broughton's try.
Get rid.

Well the second Harrison try (and it was a try because it was given) might stink, but so did Huddersfield's 80 minutes of wrestling after the held call, slowing down the ptb, constant 3rd and 4th man flopping onto the completed tackle, and continuous offsides made the games really tedious for me. Not quite up to Wigan's standard, but getting there.

This is where the game is being spoiled because referees haven't got the commitment to stamp their authority on games by penalising foul play which is evident in every game around the ruck area. Most teams are doing it unpunished resulting in very little yardage made with ball in hand & having to finish with a hurried kick upfield which is making our game look like a version of rugby union.Start dishing penalties & sin bins out for offside, not square ,lying on a bit more often & coaches will soon get the message.The refs could play a big part in opening the game up.

Huddersfield have been doing that for years, not just in that 80 minutes. How do you think Chris Nero made a living.....

| To be fair, it isn't just Huddersfield and I'm sure opposition fans feel we get away with all sorts at the PTB as well.
Stepping off the mark, pushing players off balance, flopping, not standing square you name it, any indescretion possible to niggle and spoil teams are employing it, and getting away with it.
It's really ruining the spectacle, and a game that has built it's reputation on speed and fluency should be very worried about how it's crept into the game this season.
The sin-bin was intended for technical offences. Show some morale fibre and use it. Use it early, warn the player, warn the captain then start brandishing the yellow. They'll get the hint.

| I imagine one of, if not THE first thing discussed by opposing teams preparing to play us is how to slow down our ptb. These tactics will continue to be implemented against us until the refs stamp it out.
