I had a similar thought hoping this week isn’t the one that clicks for them.

Not as confident in Wigan as I was last year.

Think we’ll be same again. Nsemba is knocking on the door though, hatrick for the reserves. Hopefully he’ll get a game soon.

Agree with previous posts about this never being an exciting fixture, but I'm actually looking forward to it.

I have concerns about our pack in wet weather football. We've shown that we can raise the intensity and our strike in the backs will always make us dangerous, but in weather like this when the game will be played 90% through the middle I have concerns based on past games which hopefully we can answer some of tonight.

Same 17 as last week

We won, move on, the end.

I think seeing the condition tonight I’ll credit the lads for winning. Same as last week. We really struggled before in wet weather. Obviously against a side low on confidence but still good to get under our belt

Honestly, this stupid bloody fixture. Drenched. 2 points. Yay.

Dreadful conditions, happy with the win and move on, as people say. The only real takeaway from the game I could add is to continue my belief that French won’t work at 6 unless he is prepared to run the ball. He is very very rarely taking the ball in to the line and unless he adds that, it just can’t work. I’m not writing it off, I called for patience in the week and think it absolutely could work but not if he continues to play it as he has been these last few weeks.

Anybody know who got put on report right at the end ?

Think it was Shorrocks

Wondering the same myself. It looked to be in the right sided second row/centre channel, so maybe Shorrocks or King but I totally missed it.

God I hate Huddersfield. Everything about them, right down to their $hit kit colours aggravates me.

Was disappointed when I saw the weather.

Made for a dull game.

Harry Smith kicking superb again.

Miski had a brilliant game.

We move on

Great win for Wakey tonight, I could honestly stand getting beat next week knowing it would drag Hudds and Cas right into a relegation battle

Win is a win. Slightly off topic, Leyth look bloody good these days.

I think that answered my concerns in that we weren't trampled over, but then again, they were awful.

Take the win, move on.

We were the only team that looked like scoring. Only six points conceded., it will do me.

I hope we get them at Wembley l.

As it goes, I couldn't make the game, but I figured before the game that it wouldn't be the worst one to miss, and so it seemed. I've seen the brief highlights, and some nice tries, and a win, in ugly conditions. Surely, all good, we move on?

Dreadfully dull affair in a poor atmosphere, as it was always going to be. But we take the comfortable win and move on.

My worry now is are we going to get a couple of bans?

Havard shoulder charge is likely to see a ban, no idea what Shorrocks was put on report for but it adds to the worry and wouldn't be surprised to see Singleton get 1 match for his tipper tackle (absolutely shouldn't be, just wouldn't be a shock).

Miski great game some good kicks from Smith , as others have said French needs to run more be a bit more direct, some lovely long passes from Smithies he has more skills than some would have you believe, what was the point of Magos first spell, Havard may get a ban for the shoulder. The Giants are lucky Wakefield lost all those early season games

Definitely can see them beating Saints at this rate.

Just watched the incident that got put on report and I'm struggling to decide which is the most staggering part of it- a) that it was a penalty b) that it was put on report or c) that Watson moaned about it post game.

Russell passes the ball and as he is in the motion of passing, he is tackled around the legs by Joe Shorrocks. it isn't late and is just a bog standard tackle, in which he presumably picks up a leg knock. As Shorrocks goes around the legs, Russell does run in to the upper body of Havard but that is literally all that happens, he just runs in to him and there is next to no contact.

No bans at least.

Aye, good news. It’ll be a tough game on Friday I reckon, now Wakey are building some momentum.

Couldn't be bothered commenting on Friday (too focused on getting dry!) but one thing that did stand out was just how frustrated Bevan French looked. Angrily yelling at the sideline, throwing his hands up in the air - he knows the role doesn't suit him and he knows its not working.
