That being said, Hull were also very very poor. You shouldn't concede 76 points no matter how good the opposition are at this level. There were some tries that Hudds had absolutely no right to score. The first one, Yeaman didn't even try to move. A Huddersfield player didn't make him do that. He didn't have to do anything!
Absolutely awful stuff.
Paul Anderson should be concerned about letting 18 points though against a side that couldn't attack a pub dinner.'"
In fairness, our first try was lucky. Our second, I think McGillvray had just switched off a bit. Not hugely surprising given the game was done by then.
Our last try was actually a fairly well constructed effort that included some quick handling for a change.
All in all not something to be hugely worried about.

| I wonder if Adam Pearson will make it an ongoing policy for mandatory refunds to all fans who turn up to games where the performance of the Hull team is considered embarrassing and unacceptable?
That should effectively halve the cost of a season ticket for regulars there.

He was worse at Wembley. He shouldn't be playing for the first team.

As your first question calls for a subjective answer, who will decide if the performance is satisfactory.
Secondly, its really got nothing to do with you.

I think its called irony.
for years we were poor ,we were easybeats,we were rightly mocked and scorn was poured over us,we accepted that,we deserved criticism. then when we started to improve people were saying its great that another club are challenging the top clubs.
now that we are right up there as GF contenders and have just walloped the 6th place team,a team that got to the cup final no less,in record fashion, it seems that only happened because hull were poor,the play offs are set up wrong,the RFL are useless etc etc
we are enjoying what we are doing now after years of crap,we are loving every minute of it, but it seems some people just cant or wont accept that we are a decent mob this year.
ironic that people called us for being crap now we are good its because of other factors,its quite amusing and complimentary that we seemed to have rubbed a few people up by becoming good

It happens, as a Leeds fan we've had to hear whinging about the success we've had. In 2007 & 2008 it was wrong that we came 2nd to Saints in the league but beat them in the GF....we weren't worthy champions some said. In the last two years we've heard a load (even from some of our own supporters), we're almost solely responsible for making the regular season meaningless simply because we fought like the team that wanted it the most come playoff time. We showed that the format is fatally flawed and that 5th is easier than 4th because we knocked that team out twice.....We just knocked 5th out and 4th is a home game away from Old Trafford. SOME people couldn't and still can't bring themselves to say "we'll done & congratulations".
Note for Giants fans, if you do win the GF, this year or another, then some people will still knock the achievement. Hell you can't say you've not read or heard Giants fans do the same to other teams. But on the other hand you'll get fans congratulating you, I've already read a few posts from fans of other clubs saying they hope Hudds reach Old Trafford. So calm down and stop worrying that the rugby league world isn't bowing down to your feet yet.

Get rid of the chips on your shoulder and get used to it. It's what happens when you are successful. Take it as a compliment.
Leeds have won 6 grand finals in the last 10 years and each one was discredited by some on here. It was the rain, they had an easier run, lucky with injuries, they shouldnt have had that penalty for holding down in the 36th minute, the playoff format made it easy, etc etc. So if you are waiting for people to bow down and worship huddersfield as the lord and saviours you're going to be waiting the rest of your life.
Just enjoy the long awaited success and don't get so het up because people aren't jizzing themselves over you.

Loads of people raised eyebrows at the team finishing 5th winning the playoffs, but most people I read ( and it's certainly my opinion too ) also did indeed say "well done and congratulations". You can only win the competition as it's laid out at the start of the season, and if that means a strategy of 'just stay in the mix and make sure you peak at the knockout stage', then fair play to whichever team does that best. BUT ... it's still fair to question the effect of the structure on regular season. I'm sure there are a few people out there that somehow had a go at Leeds for winning from 5th, but in my experience, I've rarely heard anyone say anything other than, "fair play to Leeds...not sure we've got the structure right, but fair play".
