some very bitter stuff as usual from the cas forum, considering they were piggy backed up field all night by our indiscipline and silverwood's pedantry
Quote bad gameOn field ref is from Huddersfield and should have picked up the incorrect PTB (he moved at least 5m to his left) and Thaler (say no more) as VR should have called the knock on.
What's the point of referees when they let personal bias get in the way?'"
Quote bad gameHuddersfield are only on the scoreboard because of 2 incorrect VR decisions and a Silverwood piggyback 4th tackle penalty.
I'm sure the officials are just having a "bad game" and it's nothing to do with Silverwood being from Huddersfield and Thaler & Child (one of the TJs) being outright anti-Cas for various reasons.'"
Quote bad game24 points by "Huddersfield" 18 came from Thaler getting decisions WITH REPLAY flat out wrong and the final 6 came from Silverwood piggybacking them down field with a 4th tackle penalty that was iffy at best.
Bought and paid for that game.'"
Quote bad gameIt's been a hell of a long time since I can remember watching a side intent on spoiling as much as Huddersfield has tonight, even more amazed that it we're former players the main instigators, the fact Brett Ferres managed to stay on that field throughout that match, and Huddersfield kept their full compliment throughout, tells you all you need to know about Richard Silverwood, and his ability to officiate at this level, a referee some say is the best of the current crop, on tonight's showing he's now on a par with the two planks who were his touch judges, make no bones about it, were our own worst enemies at times, but Jesus Christ, we've been done up like a right set of kippers, my blood is still boiling !'"
Quote bad gameBut what I did see was that Hudds were so blatantly offside it was untrue. That's something no one has mentioned. Stood at railway end, right in front of me we play ball 6 yards from their line, What astounded me was RS was stood right on their line, quite correctly, yet just at the side of him, were two Hudds players a yard in front of him, and who moved before we even played the ball. That is one of many instances I could give. I am not one for seeing things that are not, but Hudds were so far offside tonight it was untrue, all game long. I said to my mate we should do the same to stifle them, but we would probably get penalised if we did. That's exactly what happened, we got penalised for what they had got away with all night, and led to Crabtree's decisive try. That's what got me, not the video decisions.'"
so despite conceding 14 penalties apparently we got away with everything? god knows what the penalty count would have been if we hadn't "got away with everything"
