Thought he was claiming squatters rights

A general bad vibe between the sides today, not sure why as these games are usually played in good spirit. Smith says in his post match interview (on Guardian site) that he also received abuse in the stand and that is not acceptable.

We seemed to get sucked into Huddersfield's physical / rough play and it didn't help us.

Another game we should have closed out.

Reading on Twitter that a Wire player spat in a Hudds player's face then later reading that England spat at Brough and threw a bottle (don't know if that means at Brough or what). Also read that Bridge was taking on 3 Hudds players (one of which I guess was Crabtree).

There was a decent amount of biff. Great thinking from England to take their kicker out for ten minutes just before he attempted a kick at goal, shame the understudy kicked it anyway.

Other thoughts:
1. George King should definitely take all our kick offs.
2. Atkins try should never have been chalked off, the ball was knocked out by a Hudders player.
3. Let's buy a half back.

Nobody spat at anyone, bridge was fighting and ended up with 4 on him , England waded in , it got split up, then brough said something to England, bit of a scuffle , linesmen got between them,, then Bentham gave them the bin to cool down , as they went back brough was gobbing off all way to dug out, England had enough and squirted him with water and threw the water bottle at him,, Chris hill separated them, there was no spitting involved,,

that from the wire "headhunters"......

Really smart, he may miss next week and the understudy kicked two drop goals to put us out of reach too....

Brough was waiting to kick the goal and England came back for more and the touchy had to intervein

Bentham showed he didn't have a clue and binned them both when it was all England causing the problem

Bentham was the instigator in all this- the numerous high shots by wire went unpunished - bridge lost it completely and England was in the way of the conversion and refusing to move. It was at that point the spit occurred- Poor game handling by Bentham all round- the fact he continued to play on whilst a wire player was knocked out motionless on the ground for a number of plays shows how clueless he was.

I think Paul Anderson has to take some credit for getting the best out of his team once again ,there aren't any superstars but they play as a team & they obviously do their homework on the opposition which is an option available to us that we don't seem to make use of.
I really thought Stef looked out of sorts today but the greatest difference between the 2 sides was Danny Brough who seems now to have a better nal of kicks at his disposal than even Lee Briers did.

As was Huddersfield knock ons , offside, not square, Atkins try was a try came from a Huddersfield knock on,, it was a game where winner takes all in 4th place,, 2 similar teams, separated by a great kicker in brough,, but as for wire high shots,, you must be wearing stevie wonder glasses on!!

Sort of like when Daryl Clark got sin binned for getting spear tackled?

Been informed by someone who was listening to the game on the radio that the commentator stated England spat at brough. Plenty of those in the stand saw it. Spitting is a Grade E offence.....
