but no-one can put their finger on why we have gone from a well rounded very good side whose defence was outstanding and were clinical on attack, we could put any 17 on the field and they all looked comfortable playing with each other, to a team that seemingly has absolutely no confidence, has poor defence, and very limited attack-wise.
this isn't a knee jerk reaction just a view on where we are right now.
we have gone from been challengers for the league leaders shield, and grand final contenders as well as looking good in the cup to looking like we might even miss out on the top 5 come september.
unfortunately i've missed the last 2 games but the words "disinterested" "resolve" "spirit" "lack" "of" seem to be bandied around a lot, can anyone come up with any reason why we are suddenly one of the weakest teams at this merment in taaarm?

Because some of the players are disinterested and seem to be already looking forward to their end of season break.

Annoying thing is that the players rumored to be leaving like Griffin and the ones leaving like Hodgson are not the ones not trying!!!!

Anyone who can get the Giants to perform week in week out for a full season and win a pot please send their CV to The Galpharm Stadium.

Poor performance, u don't lose on purpose but u go down fighting. We sparked up ten mins to go with wood at acting half Robinson to first receiver. Then start of 2nd half Robinson back to acting half.difference today was castleford,s halfs knew wot they and there players where doing. We go sideways too much and forwards never know if they getting ball or not. Crabtree toiled hard as did griffin,grix,mcguillvary, . But players couched like robots these days for me

Our season is over. Something has happened, we don't know what and we wont get to know despite all the nudge nudge wink s inferring otherwise.

When our prop forwards are making less yards than your wingers it's obvious where the problem is. Our backs played well today despite no go forward from our forwards.

Teams know out pack should be superb so they work extra hard to get to them.

It's damned frustrating for sure to know on paper we have a team that's capable of winning things, but isn't for some reason.

Though for some reason we just aren't starting games like we can and should.

Our forwards looked tired,but i think are playmakers were poor to day at times they looked lost LR apart,Chase and Or just ran the show for Cas, it looked at times like our players were strangers with one another and Cas had a feild day down are left hand side.

Our playmakers can't play if our forwards don't lay the platform. And the just didn't (yet again) today.

Mate dont tell ya granny how to suck eggs,platform this platform that we had enough of a platform at times to score points are play makers just did not create anything like i said Or and Chase did.

You lacked the guile in attack that Brown gives you. When he is back you will be a different team. The only matches that matter are the ones in the play offs! A few bad weeks now won't matter to you if you get to the grand final. That blip in July will be a distant memory.

I thought Wood did ok today. Looked sharp.

Where's our defence gone?
We were proud to be miserly in defence , but now we look soft.
I think I was more disappointed that we conceded 4 tries and that flattered us.

I wish you were right. Sadly, you are not even close.

He is right mate we missed KB badly today we looked clueless in there 25.

Pretenders.

Worse goal line defence in the land at the moment??

players obviously wishing they were anywhere but playing for Fartown right now andits bloody sad to see !!
something isn't right and the fans can see this , why arent't the players playing ????/

And yet this post from this tool here gives me hope.

Were my passion a flickering flame tis now a roaring inferno. And you, sir, shall be forever a total tool.

B'dum tish.

can anyone out there point out the players who arent putting the effort in, cos me for one am missing it, we must be the most negative bunch of fans in the league, name the ones you think arent doing it will u, me thinks its more to do with the amount of injuries to key players over the last 6 weeks that is the main reason for us not winning at the moment.which in turn has led to less than capable replacements at half back, such as grix and leroy in pivotal positions.

IMO pick any of the forwards !!

Absolutely! When your winger makes more yards running up the middle than your forwards then it's obvious! 5 meters per carry is PANTS!

Griff putting the effort in as is Mason and Fooey today, not sure what happened to Fergy but we turned him from a great player at Wakey to mediocre today, didn't seem to be hitting the ball at any pace at all and Larne seems to have hit a brick wall

If griff and mason are putting in the effort why aren't they making yards?

Answers on a postcard please to .............................

The poor fella must be totally frustrated !!..............and why not?

I think the players are not happy due to the fact that their not winning, and it's hard to get confidence back. One really good game and the giants will come storming back. Its all about the league now and that can be their main focus. How it would be nice to have got to wembley me personally am not too bothered as we are still in a strong posistion in the league. As fans we need to just keep the faith and show our support starting at hull KR on Saturday.

Fergy looked absolutely shot. Every time he got the ball he struggled to go forward and got put down pretty quickly.

For me I still think it is a physical issue - the team look buggered and are picking up more injuries than points due to fatigue.

They desperately need a week off imo.

If they can get their energy levels back then their concentration levels and sharpness improves which means a few little bits and pieces start to come right and then the performances will improve. Add that to key players starting to return towards the end of the season then I think it would put us in contention.

We boast the biggest squad in Super League yet Andy Raleigh and Graeme Horne don't seem to get a look in when other second rowers look to be absolutely shattered.

For me the effort seems to be there, the players are putting the effort in but nothing seems to be clicking or coming off right. As such the buck stops with NB, it is his job to put the team back on the right track.
