26-0 home loss<\/a> to Leeds Rhinos.<\/p>\nRobinson felt it was an improved performance from his men after their 48-2 drubbing at Wakefield Trinity five days earlier, but he was left \u201cfrustrated\u201d with how the game was controlled \u2013 and angry at one incident involving Joe Greenwood and Leeds\u2019 Brodie Croft.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey have been playing red hot and they are one of the form teams in the competition,\u201d Robinson said of Rhinos.<\/p>\n
\u201cI thought we got a response from last week and I don\u2019t think the scoreline reflected the game. It wasn\u2019t how the game panned out.<\/p>\n
\u201cI am really frustrated, I think there\u2019s a bit of an issue within the ruck in our sport. Greeny gets up and we\u2019ve got the ball, he stands on his feet and Brodie Croft pushes him over.<\/p>\n
\u201cTwo touch judges and a ref and the cameras don\u2019t see it. There\u2019s a fourth official. It\u2019s not the reason we lost the game, I don\u2019t want to come across like I am making excuses, because I\u2019m not.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe weight of possession eventually took its toll against a really good Leeds side who are playing really good.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s not the reason, but certain moments have bigger impacts within a game. That moment is massive. It really frustrates me anyway, the ruck area.<\/p>\n
\u201cPeople don\u2019t roll away so when a quick play-the-ball happens, if someone lies flat behind the ruck, the hooker \u2013 not only for our team, for every team \u2013 has to step and move.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou have to make an effort to roll away. It affects momentum then. I just felt like that was a massive turning point in the game because we were on the front foot at that point in the second half. I just don\u2019t get how you can\u2019t see that. It should have been a penalty our way, they got a penalty their way.\u201d<\/p>\n
Huddersfield Giants received just three penalties and one set-restart to Rhinos\u2019 seven and four. Robinson admitted: \u201cWe\u2019ve got to find a way of altering that and getting it swinging our way.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019ve got to start swinging the penalty count and six-agains in our favour, because we don\u2019t get enough of them. We need to find a way of us being able to influence that so it comes our way.\u201d<\/p>\n
Looking at Giants\u2019 performance, the coach insisted: \u201cI thought our lads defended gallantly. At one point, we defended 34 tackles inside our 20 before they scored. I thought that was indicative of what the lads\u2019 attitude was coming into the game after last week. Our effort was great, but I thought we were a bit blunt with attack, we weren\u2019t very potent.\u201d<\/p>\n
