I did actually see more than that around, a group of 12 but couldn't be actually heard when they score their try's!

In condolence of the attendance though there were more than yesterday here today and yet there were less seats available for spectators today! And yesterday was so boring even the town manager requested the 4th official not to add time on!

Yes I guess there must have been more than the 2 I saw, but still the crowd needed to be 99% Giants today.

As for Town I'm pleased to say I don't follow them just glad they didn't mess our pitch up icon_wink.gif

Another report on the game from the BBC interesting to read NB's post match comments and he's keeping his cards close to his chest about the top 2 spots.

Sing a song of Yorkshire, from the Humber to the Tees Of cricket, rugby, beer, of pudding and of cheese I know no other county where the land is quite so fine England's lovely county. And I'm proud to call it mine Where shining purple heather stretches far across the moor And the lapwing's cry above me takes the place of traffic roar And peace comes drifting gently, there's no place I'd rather be Than this land of hills and valleys, from the Pennines to the sea So when I've done my roaming, and when my step grows slow When heart and mind assure me that the time has come to go Then let me rest in Yorkshire, for its there I want to lie 'Neath sun and wind and heather... and a gleaming Yorkshire sky:12411.jpg



I dont think there was any thugish tactics from the Dragons today.

Lunt got hit as he passed the ball so the player was committed and there was no way of avoiding the collison. Lunt will prob miss next weeks game because a slight concussion (I think theres a mandatory 7 day layoff isnt there? with a concussion) but he was out at half time and sat on the bench talking to the subs etc.

Hodgson (B) had an accidental clash of heads when he got tackled in the in-goal area. Don't think there was any malice in it at all.

I think the game was a very physical one played but two large forward packs but dont think there were any thugish tactics. My only gripe would be the speed of the ruck which seemed slow. Overall I think Mr Bentham had a good game and dealt with everything he had to whilst trying to maintain the flow of the game

Bentham was very one sided for much of the game, no iffs, no buts.

Totally agree. How the hell he had the cheek to pull us up for holding down at times when Catalans were doing it for longer and more often beats me. The guy is a muppet.

Got to agree with PBGiant thought Bentham had a reasonable game, he got all the big decisions correct. Did not get a close enough view of the Lunt and Hodgson incidents to comment. I think we sometimes forget its a contact sport. Just happy that we did not seem to come away with any major injury worries.

Hewer tripped over Bentham's ego in the warm up.

Its not the off the ball incedents, its the complete unevenness of the application of the offside and holding down rules that got me, usually I can sit back and go "yeah, he was ok I guess" but today Bentham was just terrible

He penalised Finnegan (IIRC) at one point for flopping, when the tackle hadnt been completed when he went to join in, yet time and again the Cats players were piling a third man on as the Giants player was getting up

Ref got injured, pulled a muscle I think and Bentham was called into play.

I thought overall he was fair, although I agree about one of the flop penalties awarded against us, I thought the man was not tackled fully.
