Don't often say this after such a loss but fair play you were much the better team today.

JM was complaining today but even if we had have gotten a few more decisions our way we wouldn't have deserved the win. Our performance was summed up perfectly by Dobson kick for touch.




You brought good numbers today and you look like a good no frills team that plays the odds and executes a game plan to perfection.

Good luck this season and maybe you repay the favour at the Galpharm.

Great post.

Many thanks fella.

thank you , very gracious of you !

good luck to your lot too

It is my own version of self flagalation.

Sounds a bit like self abuse that bud.....

I dish out enough grief to Rovers fans so it wuld not be right if I did not tip my cap to them for being so gracious in defeat.

<tips cap>.

Gotta say your pack is a match for anyone in SL, i think you are serious contenders this season. Rovers were dominated all over the park in a manner i have yet to see this season and it wasn't all crash, bang, wallop. Robinson (someone who i didn't rate) pulled all the strings and your backline looked so dangerous i felt you would score everytime you had the ball.

Looks like your board made a shrewd decision to bring in Nathan Brown and offload your dross

.

Brought more than in previous years so as you say its improving and well done for that.

Played us at the right time 3 days after the derby but even if that wasn't the case think playing like we did today (similar to your performance against Hull) you'd have won anyway

Really? We were dreadful in that game. Yet lost by only 4 points and scored 4 tries like they did.

just to add whats being said we was beaten by a better well drilled team yesterday your coach is bringing out the best out of your lads and crabtree has improved 100% imo. you deserve to be in 3rd place well done huddersfield good luck for rest of season

I'll echo that. As I have said on another thread I thought we'd get beaten. After a hard derby probably the 3 teams you would want to avoid would be Saints, Hudds and Catalans as a) they are the form teams and b) they are big and very physical, the last thing you would want to meet and would need to be fully fresh and on top form to deal with. After Friday I knew we would be far from it and clearly Celtic took a lot less out of your tank. Also your bench was awesome, much stronger than ours and it was a surprise to me that ours was so lightweight in comparison. Crabtree is always a thorn in our side, he always plays well and tries to offload and hoped we might get him last season. I don't think anyone on your side really under performed, Robinson kicked us to death and Hodgson is top class. Really hope you break the Saints/Leeds domination!

By the way, I can see now why you offloaded Thorman on to the Thundersharks! He's been tripe after an initial burst! Sharp seems to be working his magic there now also. Your new coach seems to be bang on in comparison!

i'll second that!!

credit to rovers for their graciousness

Yes similar to your performance against Hull, Its not our fault they are tripe
