And the Lunt no try from non existent knock on early doors? Hohia voluntary tackle? Stinks

Lunt stretches out to try and put the ball down, loses control and it hits lomaxs leg?

Hohaia didn't even play the ball because the hooter went. A voluntary tackle only occurs if said player plays the ball.

Have you ever considered it stinks because you want it to?

Agree with both those, but the ball steal equalising penalty was very contentious.

It was, but the hand was in there even if it was a soft one.

That penalty was very similar to the one Savelio was pinged for against Leeds. I don't think either warranted a penalty.

This. For me, the only decision Huddersfield can feel aggrieved by is the Walsh incident (who played the situation like a pro) - but stuff like that goes on every week!

I disagree, that was a clear penalty for me.

McGilvary tackles Walsh, the ball comes free but Walsh regathers it before it hits the ground. McGilvary then tries to rip the ball off Walsh after the tackle has been completed which is a clear penalty. If anything he was lucky not to get sent to the bin for a professional foul due to it being after a break.

I'll throw it in there as we are questioning the ref. I did not think the Huddersfield first try was a try. If you watch the first replay. The huddersfield players left arm comes off the ball as it is stuck between his knee and the Saints player.

But when they go to the reverse angle it shows the ball on the deck and the video ref says he can see his left arm on the ball. He can't it's a Saints players arm.

Now it may have been a try but there are only 2 things for certain. His left arm was not on the ball. The ball did get on the floor but there was no definitive evidence of whether he kept his right arm on the ball. If he did not then he lost the ball as his left arm comes off when the ball is above the ground.

As for the Lunt no try, can't understand why anyone would question that, he losses the ball on lomax's leg. Therefore knock on.

Agree totally.

Didn't Lomax also get pinged for a ball steal in the second half which was 1 on 1?

What about the blatant forward pass in the build up to your 3rd try?

Decisions go for and against you.

Stop whinging like a b!tch about it. I've lost respect for Huddersfield this week after the comments coming out of the club including a pathetic statement.

Yupp!!

As always only the last dubious call is taken as the key call. That ball steal could have lead to a try for us and so the drop goals would be irrelevant.

Fans always go on about the last call and miss the 200 calls that are questionable before it.

All taken in isolation can be seen as key to the game. Take Saints v Leeds our penalty try that was never looked at, for a dubious knock on call. But it was not key in that we took control and continued to play to the final whistle.

Huddersfield could have won had they made 6 tackles and took it to golden point. They instead switched off and did not pin us down. Even if they took the drop goal there were 120 seconds left, plenty of time for a short kick off and our own try or drop goal.
