apparently had 8 fresh players back who were rested against celtic, good use of rotation. thought before the game we were going to be lightweight in the front row. wish millsy would pull his finger out, get a bit of form goin and get back in the mix.

I think both hull teams today have suffered the effects from a grueling derby match, even though we wouldnt of won today if we had had a weeks rest befor the game

We got beat by a very good side. Rovers have to be at thier best to beat them & they were not. As for the ref some odd decisions early on & Giants were stood in front of him every time.You can not blame them, but can ask why we did not push our luck with him. There was a lot of forward passes which is spoiling the game & why cant the touch judge keep in line with the play instead of worrying about the defence line? I watched the Giants tackling as there has been a lot of press talk obout it, It was not nice to watch but apart from maybe a couple nothing wrong & good luck to them they are good at it, Again I must ask why when the Aussies have moved on & now dont allow lying on we have gone backwards from last year. Last year the Giants would have been penalised off the pitch for laying on now the coaches have got what they wanted they are making the most of it,

very good points there, well made

I'd go with that, Huddersfield used every trick in the book to benefit their game, this isn't a criticism of them, because it worked well. Rovers lacked ideas, energy and any cutting edge and I'm more concerned how we react and recover from this defeat than the defeat itself.

I agree.

It was the comments about him being a 'low life' and 'having an agenda' that i found pathetic.

I've watched RL a lot of years and I've seen enough evidence from Thaler that he simply isn't fair.

Exactly.

I've watched rugby league for a lot of years and i've seen enough poor refereeing to know that i'm pizzing into the wind complaining about it too much.

Referees will always make bad calls and bad decisions but to suggest that one particular ref has an agenda against one particular club is just utter nonsense.

What is your problem?

Five out of the six teams which played in the big 'derbies' lost today. Saints, no doubt would have had it harder if they hadn't been playing another of the teams which played in a big derby on Friday. I think that statistic says it all. Who did Huddersfield play? None other than the division's bottom club.

Also, if you really couldn't see Thaler's failings, I wonder how much you actually know about the game. Pathetic, seems to cover your grasp of RL.

Think both teams punched each other out there mate.

Looks like we're being considered a top side!

Many times we have we moaned that the ref never blows up for offsides, forward passes, etc by Saints, Leeds & the other ex-top sides?

Thaler as been fair to both sides in all the games we have seen him this season.
