Wet and cold. Again. When does summer rugby start please ?

Injuries messed up our subs Bench but thought we missed both wardle and mason tonight.

Wigan look a cut above the rest this season, your guys had a good go though,

Watch it on TV and you'll see it was a clash of heads.

Seriously?

Looked elbow to me at the time and on replay.

Definite head clash. He hits him in the chest with his arm and he's clear of Lima when the elbow is up. I assumed that the replay wasn't clear at the game because of the booing he received but there really wasn't anything in it.

Shot? It's not often that the person being tackled gets described as a effecting a "shot", especially when it ends in a clash of heads from which either player could have been injured.

Replays have nothing to do with crowd reaction



Im more concerned that Thaler looked at the video screen for Sam high shot where Leroy and Jermaine clashed heads yet didnt give a penalty at the time but never went for that one, he seemed to pick his moments for a few decisions.

The Sam one was a clear high tackle and penalty to Wigan, the Lima one was an accidental head clash with nobody to blame. He got both decisions right. Also note that in both incidents Wigan players were the ball carriers which means Huddersfield players have the responsibility to safely effect the tackle.

Giants owned by a wigan team that never got out of 2nd gear , the decision to send Lunt to Leeds looks laughable right now .

Spot on, it was a clash of heads, overall I thought the ref had a decent game, a couple of decisions, was harsh, the one where Robbo got a couple of high shots yet Thaler gave it as a knock on, and I thought the ball strip on Brown.

Wigan was the better team and won, but I think the first team to score at 12-16 was going on to win and you had 8 mins where you scored 3 tries.

Wigan were ruthless in exploiting weakness in the Hudds defensive line. They spotted Grix a lot and made good ground and quick PTB's through him, and once they are on the front foot it's difficult to stop them.

I have to say Kev Brown had a terrible game in defence. He was very passive on both Charnley tries and allowed firstly Tomkins and then O'Loughlin to get easy ball out to Goulding, O'Loughlin in particular he could have got to. And then in the second half he was very weak against Farrell for his try and then Lima at the end, was shrugged off far too easily after the collision.

Well sad and disappointed we lost. But not too despondent . We can and mostly have played much much better than that this season. Last night Wigan were good , and too many of our players under performed on the night, plus had to put in long minutes.

This season we have won some games when playing poorly ( the sign of a good team ) but against wigan we needed a great performance.

Will be a saints fan next Sunday too.
