No idea why everyone is going on about penalties and or errors.

penalties are normally conceded when one team is on top of the other. hence we lost the collisions in the first half and gave away penalties. Manu running at Brown who struggled to cope with him = penalties. Good defence from Hull we dropped the ball.

Very few of the penalties or errors were unforced, Hull domintaed the tackle for 25 minutes.

In the second half we ran Hull ragged and as they tired they gave away penalties. penalties are part of the game but usually due to one team struggling.

However i was confused by a couple of decisions

Why was Wild ( i think) penalised for offloading did the ref call held ?

why were Hull penalised at the scrum i am sure childs indicated something about striking at the ball but am confused about that?

I thought he indicated he'd called held although it must of been split second.

I think he was penalising the player at the back of the scrum he kept breaking away early and did it on 3 occasions so guess he felt he'd given them enough warnings.

rovers fans should know that,we've handed them a few beatings lately

spot on! i did think the wild one was harsh though but we cant be sure how long after 'held' was called when he offloaded.
the hull one was correct he was warned about packing in and finally the ref's patience snapped on the 3rd occasion

pmarrow, still continuing to write the same old rubbish you have for years. How Huddersfield Giants were not awarded far more penalties after Hull FC failed to clear the tackle, I will never know. The Hull Squad looked shattered and literally had "a rest" after every tackle completed.

Durham Giant, Kevin Brown dealt very well with Manu. It would have been a very different result had he failed to.

Was he not penalised Twice for high tackles on him

You seem to remember wrong then, it was Tansey.

As it was a 9-0 penalty count in the second half I'd guess you scored on the back of at least one.

Penalty count was 6-7 at half time and finished up 12-7 to us

The worst thing is the penalties are clumsy rather than malicious and could easily be avoided with more discipline. The ones yesterday were 2 for ball stealing, 2 for Brown's challenges on Manu, Wild's for playing after the tackle complete, one stupid and obvious crossing and another stupid holding on from Robinson on the last tackle.

Hull's on the other hand were nearly all for scrum offences or high tackles. I was also amazed Child did not penalise Long for stopping Wild playing the ball on the Hull line and preventing a certain try. For me that was a definate ten minutes.

..and how the Referee was not more consistent to penalise your "angel" selfs, I will never know.

Nope, I am just not biased.

For all we are "average", you still find yourself behind us in the league.

I stand corrected. The video footage shows it was tansey - he was out on the wing at that point though - that's why I was confuddled!

Wern't the only one, I went away from the game slagging Briscoe for that one myself.

Our coach and his wonder ideas at times.

And I never called you average. that was Wigsey.

errrr, he did penalise us,hence the 7 penalties we conceded!
he also penalised us for the same offences hull were being let off with,swings and roundabouts im afraid

I thought Child nearly lost control a few times and was giving penalties for fun at times.
If there was so many offences committed, and there were by both teams why was no one sent to the sin-bin ?

Anyway take a bow Messrs Patrick,Drew and Faiumu - you 3 turned the game in our favour when you came on !! i know others had good games but these 3 added some much needed impotus from the bench when we needed it ..............great performance in the 2nd half by our guys to come back from 18-0 down!!
not only did we win but we played some ace rugby too which brought the crowd to their feet and its been a while since our fans have seen us play entertaining stuff !!.

I wonder if we will let those other Humbersiders have half an hour of false joy this week too ?

think fc fans you need to go back to the beginning of the season and read the hull daily mail were the players and coach think they are world beaters without long and fitzgibbon ur pretty average i wud say and yeah we prob will get beat by the giants were used to it you thought you ad it in the bag..

Personally I thought the ref had a good game.

And for how many weeks in the season have we been below you? And you below us?

However, it's the table at the end of the season which counts.

You need a new calculator.

The second half penalty count was 9-0 in your favour.

Thought we were gonna need one in the 2nd half the way we constantly tore through your defence

The ref was totaly poo.They sure know how to spoil a game.

I had a great day on sunday though took the old fella with us.We got there early to visit The George Hotel had a walk around Huddersfield(nice place)had a bite to eat and watched a good first half of rugby.Fair play to your blokes they never gave up even though they must of had doubts in there head.
Great set of fans and a nice day out.
Its not a bad thing to lose to your guys but to be 18 up and no reply to your 32 was very disapointing.

To be pedantic, it was 7-0

Calculator and all that

9-0 actually

Can I ask who counted that it was 9? or was it just a biased estimate from agar?
