squad announced - Connor in for Grix!

Connor or Murphy for full back?

I would go with the young lad, but Murphy shouldn't lose his spot on the wing.

I did wonder when Connor didn't play last night and also Connor not named in the academy squad to play France- Think it's a good idea to give Connor a shot now.

You need to bear in mind we gave HKR, Catalans and Widnes there first points of the season, WE are a very altruistic team !!!!!!!

think broughton may return in place of murphy this weekend

Think he may keep Broughton for the wide open spaces at the Etihad?

Oh Dear what's happened to Jake Connor?

And now Jerry's gone off aswell! What's happening is there a sniper in the crowd?

Both gone off with right ankle trouble!

At least we're getting battle hardened

We are too big for our own boots. We make all the noise in the papers about not taking people lightly etc blah but it's garbage. They think they can just turn up & win, time after time, and they never learn. It's embarrassing. Anderson needs to sort this out, and fast, or he should do one because it's just not good enough. They don't try hard enough! Unforgivable.

Looks like it's Mr Hyde who's turned up to play this week, pathetic!!

Hasn't Anderson set the example though by resting some key players - Grix, Murph & Robbo?

Players should still be doing better but it sounded like we were doing ok until we lost Conner and Jerry in quick succession which with no direct replacements on the bench is bound to cause disruption.

Ultimately the buck stops with him and if we lose this game today, injuries or not, then the pressure is building IMO. Big time.

We don't appear to be learning from our mistakes.

Sounds like the ref J Roby is his usual crap self. Radio commentator left scratching his head a few times after some of his decisions, still sounds like a p*ss poor effort from the team today though.

Absolutely irrelevant comment.

Stupid penalties, dropping the ball and a lackadaisical attitude is what are the key points.


The one thing i would ay is that the way the league is panning out at the minute Points difference could be important and we are doing ourselves no favours on that score.

Why is that an irrelevant comment? He is clearly listening to the game on the radio and has given his opinion... Sounds a terrible game, but the two injuries will have caused bid disruptions!

job done, another 2 points, 4 wins on the spin, and still not playing well!
people can moan all they want about performance etc but performance doesn't earn the win,you don't get bonus points for playing well ,we are doing enough to win games at the moment so im not complaining

Well we got the two points. London were always going to be up for it losing there coach. They have been improving also.
Conditions haven't been good and we had two injures.

Sounds like our forwards had a decent game.. Just couldn't finish our sets off too good.
Errors are still a problem.

This will probably be the perfect run out to have before Bradford next week. A walkover over and an easy game wouldn't have done us much good.

Well done Giants for the win. Well done London for pushing us hard for 80 minutes.

spot on!

Why irrelevant, commentator says clear high tackle on Connor- no penalty. Clear high tackle on Lunt (ithink)-no penalty. Quite a few blatant knock ons by both teams - play on. Tai pounces on loose ball- Penalty (offside) London (giving them a 3rd set of 6 on our line), commentator left scratching head. Sounded like quite a few strange decisions were given today., Think when the ref is having what sounds like a poor game it is relevant, the ref may not drop the ball, give stupid pens away, but teams win matches on the back of sh*t decisions and penalties given away willy nilly by poor officials.

Well we did enough to win - just.

Not a good performance though we lacked aggression in defence and was either one out in attack mostly or very slow to spread play. Moves were too predictable or we tried to force the pass.

But we won - bring on the Bulls

I'm not sure how sensible it is basing an opinion of a ref on a biased local radio view,

I thought Roby was ok

Giants didn't play well and missed Robbo and grix. Connor and jerry going off disrupted things.

London were ok.

Loved the ground (apart from the rain) and some good banter.

Another banana skin avoided.

Easy to criticize only based on the score of 16-10 at half time, but in a game where two backs are injured only a short time into the match the whole team is disrupted. Not to mention the ball becoming a bar of soap in those conditions! Be happy with the win and hope it's sunny next weekend

If we can keep picking up the points and not playing well then hopefully at some stage we will click and start playing well and then....
