what a shower of S**T...! how have you won 2 games?

I think Huddersfield are a good side! They just seem to make too many errors, by trying to be too expansive in the wrong areas of the field. Saying that, we should have won by more, as we had control of most of the game, but didn't capitalise on it! Still, played 4, WON 4!

Lost the game in the forwards IMHO korkie well the less said the better

from what i saw on the TV we made far too many costly errors - against a side like FC you cant do that and get away with it.

credit to hull,they took their chances and desreved it

they even tried to cover the bad passes by saying that they was inventive


I saw some tricks that you can teach a seal

Too many stupid penalties if you ask me

cut them out and your a top 5 side easy

We were absolutely terrible tonight. We beat ourselves.

Four tries each, tickle's goals won it.
Hudds need to complete more sets. Do that and you'll have an OK season.

No gripes about the result, Hull deserved the victory but we gave it them by too many errors

Work to be done

the better team won on the night, would be a good game for the neutrals not me though i have no finger nails left

Think both teams were pretty evenly matched tonight, the difference been in the handling errors.

With a bit more polish, both look like play off teams to me.

Terrible night for us, some consolation that the score was still so close, had we been able to hold onto a pass, well, it might have been a different result

i think the scoreline flattered the giants tonight, they are still a good side who will go on to do well this season, so for me any win against them is a good win.

if i was martin aspinwall i'd be venting my anger at his fellow backline, twice he got 2 stupid passes, one that cost you a try, another nearly led to another mistake

decent attendance, the score wasn't that bad

have you lot got higher expectations

Yeah, Messers Hodgson need a kick up the backside after some of their passes tonight.

I amazed we werent on the end of 50 points tonight

Passing was . Not only was accuracy bad when unpressured, but the decisions to pass when under great pressure exhibited immense panic/desperation. It was not even a moral victory, unfortunately.

you a good side top 8 easily imo just cut out the errors and penalties and u will do ok , u got a good coach and a great full back , and you got try scorers all over the field,

No complaints from tonight, the better team won. Too many silly peneltys, and too many errors threw the game away for us tonight

Well done cod heads

Spooky, you will get your pint the next time i see you

Hull deserved to win by more last night, we were awful. Hull didn't win the game, we lost it. That was as bad as it gets I hope. Some predicted the loss before the game due to SKY showing the match. Why do we bother getting the big crowds in only to let them all down?

I think Hull's defence pressurised you into trying to force the game resulting in most of the errors. Our defence intensity was the best part of our game. Our failure to turn pressure into points was the worst and the game should have been over by 1/2 time. Both teams have a lot of improvement to make for me but from our point of view we have a lot of players to come back/in so the early signs are positive

well where do you start with that one we were DIRE. Not that i am surprised. I just knew it was gonna happen , big crowd, big anticipation, sky cameras ( extra pressure on the players to put in a big performance leading them to panic.) and then the curse of SKY. I have' nt watched it on Sky yet but where do we start.

Firstly the scoreline flattered the Giants we were out muscled in the forwards and lost that battle. they appeared to make more metres in the pack. Also they appeared stronger we regularly had three players in the tackle and could not put them on their backs.

Their rush defence was very good ( bordered on illegality at times as regularly looked offside) but they played to the ref and it worked.

We seem to have difficulty in our forwards in sucking in defenders and making gaps. It seems pointless to me to be playing those short passes around the ruck UNTIL you have either tired their forwards or are able to get quick PTB and exploit the gaps. too often we seemed to be sending our back row into heavy traffic this only tires them out and reduces the enegy levels.

Passing

i am not sure what was worse our passing ability or decision making. some of our passing from Dummy half was appalling Moore and Brown seemed to be guilty of some of it( will check later).

Suicide passing in our own 20 metres . i fully understand the need to protect hodgson as our most creative player and also to try to counter attack from anywhere but trying to string several 20 metere passes together is a recipe for disaster ( or knock ons).

this allied with some of our short passing around the ruck is only going to lead to some of our players ending up in hospital.

Creativity and organisation too much responsibility on Brett Hodgson to be our main go to man. He needs some more help. I could not believe that when we were attacking the Hull line in the second half that we had Jackson at first reciever on the 5th tackle.

goal kicking is not good enough the first conversion miss was inexcusable. I really thought that it would be sorted now. It is dispiriting for the fans and the players to know that unless we score within 15 metres of the post we will only get 4 points.

Discipline giving away penalties is part of the game and is always open to interpretation but leap frogging an opponent getting off the ground or straddling him with your legs whilst getting up is silly.

Whilst i accept that too many indavidual errors may have cost the game yesterday s but some of the above points are recurring patterns which need to be sorted.

I would be happier if we played a little bit more conservatively for a while until a/ the players are better equipped skill wise and b/ Brown has recruited players that he wants.


Trying to play the fast attacking way Brown wants may work in australia where skill levels are higher but not yet with the crop of players that we have. I think tim Sheens at west tigers was recently talking about gareth ellis and he was saying how shocked he was at his poor skill level. well if ellis was not up to scratch then i am sure some of our players require remedial work.

I may be wrong on some this as it was the way i saw the game yesterday which is quite difficult when you are trying to get the crowd going and in pain after having a cortisone injection in my knee that afternoon. I will watch it on sky and reserve the right to amend anything and everything i said.




Still at least we can look forward to an away game next week without sky

We are on SKY next week

I think Huddersfield have the make up of a really good side but it's at halfback where i think your weak.

But we are playing away so we do not have the curse on us.

Hmmm I thought that up until 8pm last night
