We got nilled in the second half due to errors, poor discipline, and a strong Huddersfield pulling their finger out after a first half that flattered us in terms of scoreline. Not his biggest fan, but not Agar's fault today, too many individual errors.

thats what it sounded like, and giving soft penalties away.

We lost the game because of poor decisions and individual errors, add that to a serious lack of ball in the second half and that's what you get. We were never brilliant in the first half, it's just that Hudds were rubbish.

The try just before half time killed us and you could see hudds confidence lift. Were I was sat we were screaming for a drop goal just before they went in before half time!

Let's just hope for a good reaction in the week and that we take it out on Catalans!

That makes about as much sense as pointing out that if only we had lost to Saints the other week there wouldn't have been any posts on here expressing delight and positivity about our prospects. Glad it makes you laugh though...

Genuine question. Judging by the standards Childs was using in the second half when he penalised us 9 times did Huddersfield not commit a single infringement worthy of a single penalty? Yes we were poor in the second half but we barely saw the ball so it was difficult after all that defending.

They were offside a few times which went unpenalised. However, we got more than our fair share of decisions in the first half IMO and scored from them. We also had 2 very good opportunities to score in the first 3 minutes of the second half and bombed them through individual errors. Childs just compounded our own poor decision-making and discipline, he wasn't the primary reason for our loss.

child was shocking today for both sides.

Not the deciding factor I agree but no way were Hudds as squeaky clean as that penalty count suggests especially when using the standards Childs was setting when penalising us. We shouldn't need to rely on penalties but a couple of back to back penalties in our favour and I genuinely the momentum would have swung back in our favour. As it was Hudds just had all the territory and all the ball which gave us no chance. I'm not sure many teams could have held off hudds on the back of all that possesion.

I know he coming back from injury but for me lauaki is still not doing a lot for me - his defnce isn't great and apart from the saints game haven't seen a lot to impress me . Before anyone says I'm not blaming him for todays game we just made silly decisions with the ball in the 2nd half

Fair enough - but IMO we had more than one dubious call in our favour in the first half. The turning point for me was the opening of the second half when we bombed great field position twice in 3 minutes. We said at half time that Huddersfield would get more decisions in the 2nd half, just because things tend to even out. Maybe the swing was more extreme but I thought we were architects of our own downfall with brain-farts when in possession and sloppy discipline.

Has big hair and is Tongan, waste of a quota spot IMO.

Who has said that?

I'm trying to think of these dubious calls in our favour? What was the penalty count in the first half?

I'm begining to think the same.
