Totally agree with the above. If Brown wants to leave, why wait until the end of the season? The commitment isn't there as he knows whatever happens he won't be staying next year and he can just keep collecting his cheques until then knowing his reputation back home will be greatly enhanced on the back of, if nothing else, last season.

I'll continue to go and support the team, I love them and they are a huge part of my life. We have a hard core following, but we do have a lot of daytrippers (as proved at the cup final) and glory hunters who won't turn up on a cold friday night against crusaders or salford.

I'm well pi$$ed off, I can take a defeat and fair play warrington but we got taken up the poo pipe today.

that last comment summed it up perfectly lol

David Hodgson played like he was ed on the wing, what a disgrace!!! The Giants normally bully teams into submission but like all bullies, you got some of your own medicine today and your reaction was coward like.

bet you they get Barrow at home or Halifax

not that bad for the Cup with game on TV better than the 5500 at the Whinos last night

That display today was awful to witness, I didn't think Warrington (who were very good) did anything fancy, just kept working away and not coming up with errors - unlike ourselves who looked like the proverbial startled rabbits in headlights. Some of the mistakes such as failing to play the ball, not finding touch, penalty from the kick off, were basic errors that shouldn't happen at this level. Some (most??) players had absolute howlers today.

This has got to be up there as one of the worst performances I've seen - and I've seen some bad ones over the years - so something must be going wrong, maybe it is all the future uncertainty??

I left on 71 mins (the first time I have EVER left a game early) as I couldn't face the stick I'd have received from the Warrington fans. As for the 'Hodgson is a Wire' chants today, he might as well have been.......

Roll on next week where we will find out if it just was 'A bad day at the office'

against blackpool?


5,500 against blackpool isn't such a bad turn out imo
wouldn't be far off your average for sl would it not?

super league average over 8000

Not come on here to gloat.Afterall we've been thumped many times in the past + i know it's not nice.Would just like to say your a better side than that today(prob didn't need me tell you that)+ everything we did just came off.As a neutral there defo seems to be something wrong in the Hudds camp as this game was expected to go to the wire,pardon the pun.Chins up + goodluck for next week.

goood luck

how much was it again for a season ticket?

i still cant believe the attendance

what is wrong with your fans

people say its on bbc and your at home

from what ive seen on this thread there was a better crowd for hull kr than wire that says it all

That today was a absolute disgrace!.

Firstly as has been previously said the tight s in Huddersfield couldnt be bothered to get to the game - I am seriously beginning to think the Town doesnt deserve Super League Rugby - although todays performance certainly wasnt that!. Maybe the shopping delights of Huddersfield hold sway or rather cosying up at home.

I dont like singling out players but:

Brett Hodgson - I would let him go to Wire now. He was shocking - anonymous - one fan behind me gave Leroy a doing for passing to him when under no pressure (when Brett dropped it). How many times has Brett done this over the past two seasons ? .......numerous yet when done to him he dropped it.!. He looked flat, short of confidence almost Thorman like!!!!!. Yes he is man of steel and we have to manage without him but he looked way of the pace today. Captain and current Man of Steel looked almost disinterested.

I think Nathan Brown's comments are gonna come back and bit us on the backside I really do. He could have done untold damage - I fear for the next month or so as we are now way off in terms of quality. I think he will be off come the end of the season anyway - his recent outburst I think more or less confirm that!

Warrington were impressive today and we were INEPT. It was like back to the dark days of Super League when beatings by that score happened every week. So many unforced errors, gutless completely gutless.

You could see the team couldnt be a""ed with about 20 mins to go.

All in all a pathetic display and attitude and a dismal trip back to Shipley this afternoon by me and the boy.

LAZY, DISINTERESTED, TIGHTWADS,

Mine was £175 with discount for being in the Giants Express or whatever its current name is.

I don't think his comments about the RFL are the ones that have done any damage. I think the ones about his own future are.

didn't the giants offer a fantastic offer though ?

I don't think his comments about O'Loughlin are going to help you much when you play against Wigan in the next match.

No doubt Wigans forwards will be "looking after" their players and they'll probably have Fa'alogo and Mason slap bang in the middle of their sights.

Just the small matter of a rematch with Warrington to come the week after that then Bradford and Saints.

Today was a game where everything we did, came off. All teams have them.

Hope you get your game back on track, do the Pies next week and it would be great to meet you again at OT in October.

If you'd heard the interview, which is on the BBC website if you care to have a look around, then you would realise his comments weren't just about the O'Loughlin tackle. So your point is kind of redundant.

I doubt they'll have Fa'alogo in their sights anyways seeing as he's out for 3 weeks yet.


ATEOTD it doesn't matter who we play because playing like that we will lose. When we play at our best we're a match for anyone, it is now up to Brown to get them back up again.

Are your little guys alright? thats the main thing.

Pretty appalled by today's performance. Only Robinson, Aspinwall and Mason semed to put the effort in.

Hodgson was poor and unfit.

Leroy terrible whilst it was Hodgson that dropped the pass it should never have been made. Hodgson is not going to go 80 yards and you could see the defensive line was well up. It was as bad a piece of judgement by cudjoe as it was a catch by Brett.

Eorl had a poor game and to be honest has not hit his form of last season at any time this year.

Gilmour makes too many mistakes.

Horne why was he picked. despite injuries to other players he offers nothing.

jammer has obviously forgot how to play after his week off.

Fatz looked as though he has already left the team.

I would rather Nathan go now and we start building for next year.

We are out of the cup and it is clear that we will do nothing in the playoffs.

We will not beat Wigan, Wire, saints, this year not in a game that matters. ( we may pick up a couple of league wins depending on what happens to them in the cup If wigan get a tough draw in the cup they will rest players next week i think.). and we would not beat a full strength Leeds.

We have got worse this season and some other teams have got better.


The big concern i have is that todays performance was by a team that has given up. there is something going on behind the scenes that have unsettled everything. The Police investigation, poor management by club officials over negotiations, coach leaving, players leaving or whatever. something is not right.

All the good work done over the last five seasons looks to be going down the plughole.

We will see next week whether the team is on the way out. If they come back with a good performance and win then there might be something to play for. Another performance like that and the club will be down in the gutter with salford.

I don't think it's THAT bad. I think that we can turn it around but that without doubt there is something going on that has affected the players. Looking at time lines the Brown/Hodgson events are the two likeliest suspects and not the Newcastle thing.

The players can do it and we have seen them do it this season. But whatever has happened it needs sorting out as soon as possible.

We've been in the dumps since the Hodgson affair and then it was compounded with Brown basically saying he's off as soon as the first decent offer comes. We need the coach to say he's staying put or not. If he's not, foxtrot oscar now.

I agree. Your fans don't deserve a top SL side. I say fans because they certainly aren't supporters.

The turnout at Wembley last year was embarrassing too.

The Wembley turnout wasn't embarrassing. 20k+ turned up for us, it was just Wire took comfortably more than that.

The diehards deserve the very best because they've been and watched through some right crap over the last 20 odd years. For you to say we don't deserve the best is just ignorant and foolish. Come from where we've come from and tell me how your lot would do. Some of the oldskool fans we have are the mutts nuts, the best fans in the world. It's easy for some fans to sit in judgement but ATOETD if anyone knew half of what our club has been through then they wouldn't make such ignorant comments.
