If nathan brown thought he was going to rest some of your players against us turn up and take the points it has backfired good time the scoreline flatters you we were so superior in every department and tired at the end to give the score some respecability i am a believer of playing your best team week in week out any team on their day can beat anyone in this league

They weren't resting players, dont you know they have a terrible injury list!

thought it was quoted he was resting their best player in hodgson and also big earl was being rested

Yeah, but remember, huddesrfield 'new force in world rugby league' giants have great strength in depth!

Their squad building and management, as pointed out by their fans is something less successful teams......such as leeds, should take notice of!

don't post anything too critical of the mighty fartowners or the thread will be locked!

Nah this will stay open

Yes, youve have already locked one for percieved criticism.

fill yer boots people

What you perceive and what i do will be very different

One topic is enough

Totally agree with title of thread.

well it has backfired on the giants today, we went there with a team that brown thought could get the win but we didnt

resting brett hodgson, crabtree, mason and gilmour was a big mistake but lessons learned, resting these players disrupted us too much.

griffin and faiumu only players to have any credit today

and i wouldnt say it was a complete lack of respect, we have invested in a deep squad and over the easter period decided to rotate the squad thats all, just back fired but maybe we will see the results next friday when we win and other teams who havent rotated really feel the strain of the easter period.

but lesson learned and roll on next friday against cas!

good giants following today, shame the team didnt turn up ... at least out points differance didnt take too much of a knock

disappointing for how many fans we brought. Players just didn't seem like they wanted the win from kick off.

It certainly bit us on the arris today, we were well beaten, our kicking game was crap and we didnt get the bounce of the ball (2nd half kick off, prime example) You cant lose 4 good players, give 2 people a debut and shift people into different positions and expect to win convincingly. After the cats game I would have thought a full team would have been ok due to the lack of bumps and bruises.

One look at the team sheet and that was Salfords team talk.

Decent away following, one of the biggest Hudds crowds I can remember at the Willows for a while.

Didn't have much to cheer about and were hence pretty quiet though.

Did think the "What's it like to see a crowd" chant was laughable but not quite as bizarre as the "Easy, Easy" chants when Hodgy went in to make it 24-4?!

It's really no suprise what brown did.

In fact it's sort of symptomatic of the type of attitude that seems to be sweeping through, first the fans of hudds, but now the coaching staff.

Oh we beat leeds in that one league game and are in the top 6. We've officially made it, and are now at a level where we can rest players and still chalk up wins.

Well no deal!

Has the bubble burst for the 'new force in world rugby league', the huddersfield 'ot won a title in 48 years' giants?

How did Wakefield do today?

"Wakefield got a foothold in the game when Wigan ran out of players"

Nice to see that you're not still bitter about that defeat then?!

'new force in world rugby league'

I've never seen or heard anyone actually say this, yet it's popped up on here a few time from opposition fans?? Has anyone actually said it?

got tonked by the tabletoppers ta. yourselves?

anybody would think we lost by a country mile! 4 tries a piece... just shame about the kicks

whereas you didnt because you decided to to field a weakened team and got what you deserved.

The side out there was irrelevant. It was a half a4sed attitude that cost us this game.

If that team had played to its full potential I believe it would have won. It didn't. It barely went through the motions.

Very disappointing.

Huddersfield boss Nathan Brown:

"We weren't at the races from the start but Salford are a hard team to beat and maybe some of our players did not give them the credit they deserve.

"When opponents kick off in the second half and score those are signs that maybe we were not hungry enough.

"We will have learned a lot from this. There was always going to be an upset over the Easter weekend - unfortunately it was us."


what was the crowd today??

Wasn't my quote and I'm not in charge of team selection. The general consensus agrees with you though.
