How many Giants fans there ?

Sounded like Wakey maybe won the forward battle seemed to make a lot of big yards

Tougher game than I expected thats for sure.

Radio Leeds says that Ref got it right with the last minute forward pass by Wakey.

Have to say the commentary suggests that we got a bit of a let off

Makes up for their win at "hootergate" then

Was forward but a lot of refs would not have given it. The game was very scrappy and the Giants really need to start respecting possession.

Perhaps a suspicion that we'd win this one comfortably coming back to bite us?

I also think when a team scores some quick early tries they can switch off a bit and find it hard to get going

Thought we had blown it. Got to win the tight hard games but bar saints we have made life hard for ourselves. Need to increase line speed in defence, get into the faces of the opposition. No good letting our big lads get run at...get into them and hit them hard!

Wakey text on Radio Leeds saying Giants support was poor!

sounded like wakey put us under pressure in the last 20, it's all very well racking up big scores but the games we win when we tough it out like today and last week are just as satisfying.
listened to a bit on radio and said about 1000 giants and they were very complimentary about that as we dont usually travel well.

Giants support was pretty decent - a good 1500 or so was good to see.

Gutted by the result as I thought Wakey despite turning over too much cheap possession and a gifted 4pts by the sticks were slightly better today over the advantage line.

Tough but enjoyable game of rugby. Just sucks to lose like that.

I thought you had won it at the end. From the commentary a bit of composure particularly at half back and you could have won.

Cannot understand what happened when you played Bradford

Paul Anderson not happy we gave the ball up so easily and should have killed them off earlier.

Jerry nasty cut both inside and outside his eye.

Pleased with scrambling defence and attitude but average when we had ball in the hand.
Need to work on the offence next week.

Said the best team lost today.

That's rubbish. We had loads down the side. Missed kick off queing to get in there was that many if us there!

Think the Bradford game was just one of those games. Think the disruptions with returning players and lack of game time for a few didn't help.

I was cheering with the rest when smith went over. We'll see many given like that all season but this one wasn't.

Can only take heart from a good effort and performance. Play a bit smarter and we will hopefully make playoffs again.

Good start for you guys so far.

Correct, at a guess 1200 but its hard to tell.


Great support

Half a dozen poor passes went to ground and half a dozen dropped balls by players not switched on.


You can't win if you play like that.

Final pass was miles forward and correct decision, awful game really in which i thought we got on top of before they resorted to roughing us up which worked cos they got back into it
on another note the allocation of only 2 turnstiles for away fans WILL cause some problems for wakefield this season it was an absolute farce today.

It's a sign of a good team when you play poorly and still come away with the 2 points. It's a new team with new ideas and we are still on a learning curve. Times are looking very bright at the moment.

Daz, away fans can enter from Donny road (main entrance) like they always have done.

awful scrappy game today... we were very poor..prob wont play as poor all season!

but sign of a good team if we can get the win and still be so bad.

still 100% and top of the league

mcgillvary prob out for a few weeks with his eye lid injury.. george in next week now.

thats makes it head to head

Giants 24
Wakefield 9

true i was straight inno problems.

Worst performance of season from us today which sure players would admit to. Wakey went well and forwards got on top due to our non existent line speed. Also gifted them too much possession by dropping balls and silly offloads. Lets get back to good old hard running in the forwards, fast ptb's and playing on the front foot. In defence get back to fast line speed as smashing them hard, Poore didn't want to know today and if we had smashed him early we would have set the time for the game. Let off today and need to step it up again cos when u top every team wants to be the one to knock you off and play 10%~20% better than they normally would. Still played e and got the 2 points but that's last of the bad games now, everything going forward needs to be an improvement

I thought that the Huddersfield support was very good today.
