no way we will be winning what i believe a minimum of 7 games to make the top now.

so we need to start preparing now for the middle 8's

no rushing players back from injury, just make sure they are ready come August for the big games.

anyone fancy a trip to toulouse and toronto!?!

Players not good enough
Rankin
Smith
Macintosh
Roche
Turner when at centre
Gaskell
Wakeman
Walne
Dickinson
None of them going anywhere though
Never fit
Mamo
Symonds
Mellor

cant argue with that and like you say they aint going anywhere!!! this is why the coach has a massive job on his hands.

Brearley when our players get injured it's usually a half season at least, so nobody gets rushed back.

If we finish in the middle 8 and then the playoffs it will be exactly what the club deserves, You can't go on indefinitely bumping along the bottom and making up the numbers without sooner or later paying some price.

Getting relegated might be the best thing for the club, or it might be the end of it, either one would be better than the sorry state it's been in for years.

true fan not even wanting a club in huddersfield. dont know why you bother wasting your time posting as its nothing but a downer on everything anyway

I was a true fan before you were even born, and i can see that the problems were here long before Brough who is your present scapegoat, was here to be blaimed for everything. But carry on dreaming of the time that our day in the Sun will surely someday come, It's 56 years since the last one .

You do your fair share pal ! Want me to pull a few out ??
When you post 24/7 and its in black and white you ought to think before you press the keys !
Kettle calling pan springs readily to mind !

When youve done 70 years or near you can criticise other fans - but till then just treat everyone to your superior "insider" knowledge and let others freely express THEIR opinion eh?

Wish there was a like button Crackerjack!

There is! Bottom right of the post

so some agree that not having a club to support at all is better? because that is what i didnt like to read. sorry but i would be gutted if the club folded which is want some want by looks of it.

not for me, id rather have a team to support or even moan about!

Your opening post started by saying we would no way win enough games to avoid the middle 8 and then accuse me of writing downers, and nowhere have i said i didn't want a club in Huddersfield, That has come out of your head.

I freely admit i do give the club some stick, but that is because i want someone ( who can ) to do something about it while there is still time. My point was that if they don't then we shall get what we deserve.

Playing as a force in the championship might be better than being kicked around S league making up the numbers, It might at least give us the chance to clear out and start afresh, But even that would require some people running the club differently than they do now.

as above!

You are spot on with a lot of what you say. A lot on here don’t want to accept that the club is run like a shambles and anyone who posts anything negative on here is not a fan. The evidence is sadly overwhelming and unless structural change is made I fear for our future in the top flight

i dont believe we will win enough to be in the top 8 now no.

in your earlier post you wrote


''Getting relegated might be the best thing for the club, or it might be the end of it, either one would be better than the sorry state it's been in for years.''

so being relegated or relegation being the end of the club is better than what we have now??? sorry i wont agree that not having a club is better.

so it hasnt 'come out of my head' as you say as you have written it unless you meant something totally different but cant see how.

Not on my version!

Yes i did say that brearley but that is not the same as saying i don't want a team in Huddersfield, ( which is what you said ).

I happen to believe that something as drastic as getting relegated or even going bust and starting over may be the only way that things ever change.

There used to be people who talked about Huddersfield being the sleeping Giant, I would say that for most of the last 60 years they have been in a Coma.
I don't know how long you have watched them, Myself i started when Murphy was the coach but it sounds like Crackerjack has been turning up for more than double that time , God knows how he has stuck it that long.
I was at Odsal in 1962 when they last won the Champs, I was supporting the opposition that day but Huddersfield won it Fair and square, and that sadly was the last time they won anything of any note.
They have had the chance to get out of the doldrums under the ownership of Mr Davy but they have well and truely blown it, Since A Murphy only Nathan Brown has shown the way to do it , and after that went pear shaped we were going backwards in our style of play so fast that we lost somewhere in the region of 3.000 fans despite lifting the Hubcap.

But fine if you would be happy to turn up to watch today's equivalent of the team that used to pull in the famous 300 in the lower league, good for you I wouldn't, If we could have a fresh start and showed some potential to be a half decent club, then yes, but another 50/60 years of what we get now both on and off the field, no thanks.

We had our chance to get back up there with the big boys and we missed it . Now is the time to sort the club before it's too late, If the powers that be don't make some very serious changes soon , the club will get exactly what it deserves, and you might well get to be one of the 300 that still turn up.

5 sides currently in the championship have SL aspirations and are all going to be tricky opponents in the middle 8's

Toronto
Toulouse
Featherstone
London
Leigh

I wouldn't relish this years middle 8's

Add Catalan to the mix and there will be some cracking fixtures. I think there could easily be 2 or 3 coming up from the championship this year and if that happens they will have deserved it. To me that shows the middle 8's is starting to work, we have promotion and relegation. If we are relegated then we will need to work hard to rebuild or face a prolonged period outside super league, that's sport.

toulouse v catalans would be a cracker!

wonder if the giants will have to travel too toronto... not sure how it works or if toronto play their games here

the higher you finish up the sl table the more home games so we need to grab 9th or 10th

another nail in the coffin today

but we knew it was middle 8's for us weeks ago.
