Quote: Yippee try yay "Think the Edwards yellow was spot on, there was no fullback and Reynolds was in front of the Huddersfield player, Edwards made no attempt to get to the ball.
Overall I think hicks had a decent game, only gripe was lack of set restarts for Huddersfields messing around in the ruck.'"
It'll certainly be interesting to see if the officials will now be consistent with these decisions. I agree that it was correct by the letter of the law as you say there was no fullback, I thought it harsh as we have seen this happen regularly for long enough but the outcome has just been a simple penalty.
With the restarts there were a few we got pinged for which I couldn't honestly see much wrong with and Huddersfield seem to no better or worse but gave less away. After watching all the 1st round games this weekend some of the set restarts in all the games were mystifying at times.
That said its so good to have the game back in motion.
