NB- The Ref put Hudds on team warning. Couple of minutes later penalise them for offside ie in front of the ball

Why didn't he not send him to the bin?

Are there different types of penalties?

Ps something similar happened in the Cats v Wire game. Player got penalised for moving of the mark when attacking but wasn't sin binned.

Strange that the referee after putting them on a team warning then failed to send one to the sin bin two minutes later.Not surprised really when before the game he was chatting to a family from Huddersfield who seemed to be good friends and then find out via facebook that he used to play for Huddersfield giants academy.
In football if you declare you support a team you cannot referee them.

That used to be the case in RL but Ganson a Saints fan missed out on the big finals so it was changed. I remember Ganson coming to ref Quins v Saints at the Stoop with his son in a Saints top!

Are you seriously insinuating that the referee cheated to lose you the game?
There’s no time limit on a team warning- and no signal from the ref as to when he deems the warning over.

What struck me about London was they have pace, on the break not many will catch you, and you scored most of your tries through our errors and from missed tackles- but creativity was almost non existent. your players made almost as many metres sideways as they did going forward just looking for a space to open up rather than creating that space.
Your pace will win you a few games this season. Good luck. I love my trips to London so I’m hoping you stay in SL.

I did not say he cheated but is a bit strange that he is allowed to referee obviously his favourite team. If anyone was to referee their favourite team i dont care who you are , you are going to favour them.Straight after the warning there were players blatantly offside which he chose to ignore.

London have a habit of going sidewards looking for breaks in the defensive line.It will be a struggle this season as every team are far bigger in size than London bar one or two players.

Re: Huddersfield : Sun Mar 31, 2019 9:39 pm  

Same thing happened at Catalan as you say, ref put the team on a warning after several defensive offences, the following penalty was for what was actually an attacking offence, which is why he didn’t bin him, it wasn’t for the same type of offence, it was same at Catalan.
To be fair after the team warning Hudds stopped messing about.

Re: Huddersfield : Sun Mar 31, 2019 9:49 pm  

Jools, spot on mate, we kept the ball alive going left to right, one on one defensive pattern will look after that. What was noticeable for me for london was the lack of any runners hitting the line at real pace.
The blatant offsides gardener is probably talking about is on the goal line, it’s one personally I hate, but every single team does it, including london and does get ignored.
Don’t forget though any player can stand anywhere, unless they get involved or effect the play it does not matter.
And whoever was shouting at the TJ about offside and why does he not use his flag, obviously has no clue what the flag can be used for, offside is certainly not one of em.

Yep, lots of sideways running and not too much coming from it. Not at their best today, we looked lacklustre at times in both defence and attack.

Re: Huddersfield : Sun Mar 31, 2019 9:58 pm  

To be fair the next Hudds penalty came from a loose ball that came off a couple of players legs, among a melee of players the Hudds player that picked it up had no clue it came forward from one of his own team mates, so more instinct to pick it up.

Re: Huddersfield : Mon Apr 01, 2019 11:12 am  

important win for us, started so well and you had too much to do to get back in the match.

tried to park in the car park and pay £5.... couldnt do it... went on your website beforehand and cant pre purchase one either

wasnt the only giants fan to find this too... ah well you miss out on the revenue. poor setup all round really not super league standard like cas and wakefield.
