I thought the ref was pretty fair. He gave it as he saw it. He got a few things wrong but he had no help from his touch judges who were neither use nor ornament. The touch judges we have these days don't seem prepared to offer any help.

<t>I know the criticism of robjoenz is a bit of banter but I think he deserves your support. The game needs individuals like robjoenz with a passion for the game to give up their time to officiate at all levels of the sport. If we didn't have these officials then where would we be? I know that all o...

<t>Your're right. Higham and Barrett went straight off the pitch at the end of the game. I think I even saw Harrison Hansen back applauding the fans and he'd only recently recovered from a bad head knock. It doesn't take much to applaud the fans, although a few had started to disappear before the fi...

I don't think Calderwood was the worst on the pitch today by a long way. The sin binning cost us dearly but he had no support when making that tackle. I wish some of the other players would show some of Calderwood's efforts.

<t>I was at the game and didn't find myself criticising Gansen which is unusual for me. Calderwood deserved to get sin binned. Can't blame him for lying on in the tackle. If he'd had held the Huddersfield player down another 5 minutes we still wouldn't have had everyone back. I thought calderwood wo...

<t>Great to win at the end. I was getting regular text updates from the game and apparently our discipline was poor. Gave away 5 penalties for mouthing off at the ref. But great to get a win under our belts and I bet there are a few beers downed in the south of France tonight - and no doubt a few in...

Ancientnloyal is right, you need more than 6 to say you have a good pack but it's a good starting 6. I'm hoping we don't have another season blighted by injuries. Surely we can't have a third season of bad injuries, can we???

<t>Fielden looked ready for a well earned rest and he's deserved it. He played a big part in turning our season around and got a lot of attention in the matches he played. perhaps not at his best on this tour but never took a backward step. It's been a long hard season for all the british players an...
