| the weather today played the biggest part....neither side created anything of note and the game was won by them kicking their penalties on offer and holding the ball a bit more than we did !!

With it being so close at the top of the table mate i'd have said it mattered today to keep up with Wire. As it happened a win would have put us clear. These lacklustre performances against the lower clubs could cost us a home draw in the play offs with just 1 game away from Old Trafford.

Summat for Nathan to sort out,we weren't good today,some of the fringe players didn't impress much.
Luke O'Donnell,Doof,Fooey etc to come back though it's no worries.

Is that a fact they really think that or just your opinion

| It's a view I think a number of our fans had, I heard a number of Giants fans saying that we'd still win this easily at half time.
I felt slightly arrogant of them and clearly they thought all we had to do was turn up and we'd win.
Not a view I agree with, we were making alot of mistakes, you could see the players were trying their best to fix, but despite their efforts it did not materialise, then again alot of the games played today were close and riddled with handling errors (even the Leeds game was close for some time), the weather was always going to make games tight.

| One thing that I did learn from today and it confirms what I have thought from several years of seeing him as a junior is that Kyle Wood is not a Super League standard player.

You sure about that,I wouldn't be so quick to write him off.You are judging him on one game back into the first grade.
He's got a lot going for him has Kyle in terms of ability,if you can't see that well it's just your opinion.

| Totally down to weather conditions today. We only had Robbo backing up and he did better than most. The squads put out today by all the top four clubs should have won their matches. The conditions just made the games a lottery, and we should have reverted to pre super league winter time rugby tactics and not overplayed the passing game.

Totally?! Does it not rain in Huddersfield? Did it only rain on one team? Are your players made of sugar?
Give us a bit of credit - our lads out-enthused yours and played the conditions much better; I'm sure that in the first half for example, you failed to complete six sets in a row due to handling errors, compared to our one.

| Typical that I turn up from 5000km away and the players don't turn up from 20km away! Still, congrats to Wakefield. I had a good time today on my holiday in Wakefield, sunglasses and all

| Our forwards lacked effort today, we barely made any metres and had virtually no decent field position, in those conditions the forwards should have been taking the ball up on the first and second plays but weren't. Kyle didn't do anything wrong but he had very little platform to work with pinned in our own half. Brown looked crocked, robbo looked tired and all Jerry had to do was hold the ball in the tackle. VERY disappointed in our lack of commitment- how many times did our players looked shocked because a wakey player came from nowhere to track back and tackle. If we had shown that level of commitment and played with the line speed we are capable of we would have won that game. Another case of playing a game at the level of the opposition instead of our own level.

| My take is this. The only point Wakey scored from their own effort was the drop goal. We failed to hold the ball and then failed to make a tackle for George to score; ill-discipline gave them 3 kickable penalties. We scored 2 tries.
The main difference between the teams.
On the day Wakey deserved the points, we didn't.
Will we ever learn to demolish poor opposition?

Except, of course, the Dragons and Leeds.
The Dragons are only 3 points behind you now, and maybe only 1 point behind after Saturday!
The most consistent team at the moment having lost only 1 of their last 10 league games.

You really are a two faced big headed wally, don't ever change
We are hardly the worst team in SL as you suggest in another post, give us back our 4 points and we would be just outside top 8 - so to dismiss us is a mistake.
To be honest you lot are all wrong, it was nothing to do with being disinterested or any other poor excuses - it was an impossible day to play good RL in and one team handled it slightly better and had a bit more resolve on the day - but it was still a lottery.

The main difference between the teams: Wakey held onto the ball better; Wakey didn't give away stupid penalties. Wakey only out-enthused us in the last quarter.
We were awful, Wakey were almost as bad, but not quite bad enough to lose the game which is what we did [as opposed to Wakey winning it - subtle difference.
On the day Wakey deserved the points, we didn't.

Jeez what a load of crap, what do you expect in those conditions - also neither of you tries were top draw, both were very lucky indeed.
You can't demolish us because we are not a poor side you big headed fool - and that is why you will never win SL, YOU'RE NOT WHO YOU THINK YOU ARE.
