You have just totally cherry picked what he said. How can you be so blind to what he said.

What about the opening of his interview where he says the ref was shocking and marched Leeds up the field to be in position to win the game.

If that's not a coach blaming the ref I'm not sure what is.

That's a quote I nicked from sporting life as I didn't have time this morning to nit pick every word, I've moved on!

Same penalty he blew for Ablett he could have blown each time McGillvary had the ball but didn't

That penalty put Leeds in the position to win simple as that

Are you saying a Leeds player had hold of McGillvary's wrist each time?

The pens given against JP and Abbo where you kicked goals happen about twice a set. There was very little in em but that's how it goes sometimes.

Some you get some you don't. At worst you had your fair share of 50/50's in the game.

Ellis is to blame not the ref.

Actually koppy is to blame

No need for the Shoulder charge

Even if Hardacre is a grub for milking it like a soccer player

Hardaker did exactly the right thing.

Soccer player grub like tactics

I'll never accept it as part of our game

You've just said Kopczak committed a foul? It was 100% a pen.

What Brough did in the tackle was pretty grubby.

Hardaker was right to stay down to get his leg checked out.

He didn't fake getting shoulder charged. He gave the ref a chance to correct his mistake.

Happens every week in the NRL.

Hardaker used his brain. Unlike Brough, Kopczak and Ellis.

Nope

Soccer player grub like antics that will end up with the VR reviewing every tackle and we might as well watch grid iron

Do you watch the NRL? They are terrible for it and it utterly spoils the game

Do I watch the NRL? I live in Sydney. What do you recon?

It will not end up with every play getting reviewed. But every coach will be instructing players to do what Zak did in SL & defo in the NRL. When you go down the rabbit hole of a video ref system that's what you get.

faking injury is not the right thing to do, was fine as soon as the ref decided to give a pen which is what they were looking to get from every play at the end... hicks fell for it unfortunately for giants

The problem with the ablett penalty is if the ball doesn't come free, nothing happens. Play on. But because the ball comes free, the ref is then up an alley. He either has to give a penalty, or a knock on, and when there are opposition hands in and around the ball/the attackers' hands the ref will always be inclined to give a penalty. The ref has to make snap judgements. He doesn't get the benefit of video replays. Speaking of video replays remember when that miniscule, pathetic amount of contact from tom briscoe on brough as they both competed for the ball stopped leeds winning the game at headingley on the last play of the game last year? Obviously that was the right call because it was in huddersfield favour.

People moaning and claiming if that's a penalty there's 30 other penalties. But there's not numerous other incidents where the ball comes free at the play the ball. There was plenty of lying on from both teams which went unpunished because the ref wanted to let the game flow.

He didn't fake an injury. Leeds were trying madly against the clock to win the game. You think hardaker's gonna mess around on the floor and fake injury rather than get up and play the ball?

Use your brain.

Hicks fell for it? So Hardaker faked getting shoulder charged and faked Brough wrapping his legs around Hardakers?

What a ridiculous position you Hudds fans have taken.

How bitter are you lot?
