[Futtocks]

I have a sinking feeling that it'll be a Huddersfield error that loses this.

Welcome to the life of a Giants fan

That's a belting drop goal.

Okay, I was wrong. Great kick in desperate circumstances.

[Chrispmartha]

Saints don’t really deserve that, Lomax has been dire all game

[Waynebennettswinger]

How on earth was that not played at? 

[Dave T]

Hudds really should have finished that off. Always likely that.

That was for offloads in standing tackles.

 

I might have a nosey in the laws for that though

Nope, it was for the held call. You will not find it in the laws of the game nor your one. Only the basic laws of playing the game are published and not interpretations.

Matchwinners are players who win matches.

I'd love to know the reason it wasn't a reset for Saints, load of giants charge the drop goal, not played at ha ha....

[dkw]

I wonder how Watson will react to Connors bellendery costing them.

[Ullman]

Absolute peach of a drop goal from Lomax under pressure.

Great contest, really enjoyed it.

[Skids]

Ikahahifo penalised for a high tackle on his own player!!

They're playing away?

It's not an away kit - it's an alternate kit.

Hudds don't need to wear it because it doesn't clash with the home team kit.

It's simply commercialisation.

That's our get out of jail free card played for the season then.

It was given against Milner.

Saints HT team talk.

PW. "Wind up Jake Conner".

The end.

I was thinking that 

[StandOffHalf]

Saints were a bit lucky there. 

I thought Hudds deserved to win tonight, and looked the more promising team.

A pretty tense and physical contest.

 "Let Connor wind himself up".

Saints are a very effective team, but very dull watching as a neutral these days. Less the entertainers and more the enforcers.

I'd say Bibby knocking on at least twice with a try scoring chance actually cost us

[dboy]

Of course it's played at!

Well, unless he intends tackling the kicker with his back.

The defender attacks/blocks the ball, not the ball carrier.

Your team doesn't though

I think Hudds look way better this term.

I think enforcers is a massive compliment. Our pack isn't what it used to be.
