| They need to take a long hard look at themselves.
The effort and desire not just today but the past two weekends has been nothing short of appalling. Today was worse. The fans, the coach and the owner deserve far more.
The whole coaching set up should resign with immediate effect. If I was coaching that team I would ask what on earth my positive impact was? If you're not part of the solution you are part of the problem. This club has been allowed to sit in its comfort zone for far too long.
Surely this season is a wake up call. Thwelis likewise - part of the problem.
Ken Davy needs to act.
Before you start, this is hardly a knee jerk reaction.

| The performance was awful and we had zero idea with ball in hand but to suggest there was no effort is wrong.

| As badly as the team played the decision to try and take two clearly came from the bench. Having defended several repeat sets we threw away a momentum change and told the players our coaches had no faith in them. Terrible terrible decision entirely down to the coach.
Think about it, our coaches did not have faith in the players to go for the win against Wakefield. That was it for me with Anderson, I think he is a good coach but he is floundering and I think the time has come that both club and coach need a change.

The performance wasn't awful it was woeful, in regards to effort, for the Wakey try it was a hopeful grubber into the in goal, where was the effort from our players to make sure the situation was defused, there wasn't any we stood and watched and invited the try so yes there was a lack of effort, put this with our line speed when defending and there is a case for lack of effort

| Wakefield scored one try. No lack of effort in defence! Clueless in attack!

Just remind me where was the effort to stop the Wakey try, as I have said in a previous post it was a hopeful grubber and not one Giant made the effort to get to the ball, it was a bloody gift

| Should have gone for the try!
We need a full time captain to lead on the pitch. Hate to be critical of individuals but Hinchy was totally ineffective, disappointing and lacking in leadership today.
Totally inept and disappointing performance yet again.

| nothing wrong with going for the kick, brough wanted to play on but if he could actually convert the kick then we would be drawing!
we couldnt score a try or would have knocked on the next play so right decision, ellis could have taken it

| What really grinds my gears is how some of the players go and see their families and friends straight after the final whistle - especially after defeats like the last couple of weeks.
They should be straight down the tunnel waiting to take the -kicking they deserve.
These are professional sportsmen. They can catch up with their families after they have had a debrief, shower and necessary treatment.

| Are Ellis, Wood & Leeming super league quality? not so sure
Are they good enough for teams looking to win a trophy? definitely not
Are there players better in the championship? yes
Would they get in any other super league team? nope
For me none of them would stand out in the championship. Once Brough retires we are literally doomed.
Hooker and a Half Back are priority for me signings wise for next year. I would not be too fussed if Hinchclife was released to go home early to make way for a new hooker.

Just watched the highlights on Sky. You must have interesting lenses in your specs for it to been seen as offside. Even on freeze frame, when the ball left Finn's foot shows him onside.

That's the problem when you play a rubbish team, they tend to drag you down to their level, hopefully when we play Leeds next week we will be able to aspire to our normal high standards.
Good luck in the middle eights' something tells me you'll need it in buckets full

What level did Hull KR drag you down to last week, and as far as the middle 8's go we are there because we deserve to be , probably a great kick up the arris for all concerned, now we will have to see what they are made of, on the other hand at least we have an easy match in the next round od the Challenge Cup

grix gives a try a away every single game that is 100 percent guaranteed
today that 1 try would of been enough to lose us the game so makes no difference

Hull KR were worthy winners. They had players back that had been missing for many of the games they've lost. No one at Wakefield were making excuses for that. The team has built up plenty of credit already.
As for your dig at Wakefield? The days of Giants fans looking down their nose at Wakefield are long gone. You won't get any bites on that. Just pity.
Having been where you are, we know a change is needed. Psychology of a losing side is very hard to change and needs an expertise I think Anderson lacks, or at least has no experience of it to call on.
The telling thing for you was that even though Kirmond looked a bit off side, he was miles from the ball and ran past 3 Giants who were closer. No attempt to get to the ball all looking at someone else. That's an attitude that's hard to change.
Brian Smith did it for us as Kear did before him when the current coach had lost the team.

What is your fixation with Grix, I said we had players stood not attempting to defuse the situation which is correct, what has Grix got to do with it jeez
