He’s even worse without the ball. The bloke just can’t defend.

I think Huddersfield deserve some credit there. They out played us by a long way.

Why change a winning team line up, it isn't as though Lino is a world class player, we know he's a half back, but to me, he should not have walked straight back in to team, after all we have looked better the last few games when he hasn't played.

Lino was the worse player on the pitch by a mile, he gave your lot absolutely nothing to work with and looked like a trialist who'd never played a game before.

I think that it took us 18 minutes to get into the Hudds half with the ball, but I may have fallen asleep and missed something!

Not every escape plan worked in the Great Escape. They kept trying and eventually made it.

It was always a tough ask away at Guants.
Patch up and try again.

No time to dwell on the defeat but, Applegarth has some huge decisions to make for the wire game.
We missed Whitbread in the pack but, Lino looked so pedestrian in the halves.

Also, you have to say, well played Huddersfield. They were playing pretty hot tonight

The loss of Dagger so early in the game was a big blow too.

Huddersfield did a job on us last night, basic rugby league, run hard hold the ball ,,get into great field position and play with flair and slick hands. They kicked well, pinned us back and their line speed just battered us. As for us dropping the ball constantly, can't play the ball, kicking out on the full, our kicking out of hand finding the man. In one set proctor, atoni and fafita passed round the back, they're the biggest players we've got so plough it in. We constantly threw the ball to the floor and we offered no threat at all. Huddersfield line speed was fantastic and they just battered us. Bad bad night and wants fixing up quickly, any news on jowitt cause he looked like he'd done his knee in

Exactly mopsey. Game over after 15mins. Dropped ball on first set and kicked out on full from first try. they then just kept pressure on.

That's how Shuds play the game, they are coached to play that way week in week out
Its also the reason why Watson bets so angry when they don't stick to the plam

Lino was struggling, but did not help playing most of match with out your six , and Hood getting a bad knock early on(you no I not is biggest fan but gone ok in last few matches) . The passing from all the team was poor, and the sooner Langi moves on the better he was shocking , With ball ,do not think we completed a set above 4 times in the first half .We looked what we are ,a very old slow team ,who can play a lot better . Huddersfield away is like ground hog day the same things happen all the time.

Good turnout, pity about the results https://twitter.com/TheGameCaller/statu ... 44/photo/1

I was talking to a bloke at the game last night that was saying we have plenty of opportunities left to make up the difference, I actually don’t think we do - with that laid back outlook we are we are banking on Cas not winning another game.

For me if Cas win today, which I have a feeling they might it’s near enough nail in the coffin for me. I agree by the way I thought it was a big ask but honestly we really didn’t help ourselves, we beat ourselves last night.

Two more losses and that’s it.

For me we need to win another 5 games, not impossible but very unlikely. We have left ourselves far too much to do but there is a chance, which four weeks ago there was none.

One of which is whether he should step down!
The task of avoiding relegation is going to be hard enough with this group of players, we don’t need to be hamstrung by a coach who’s out of his depth!

On reflection, it was as many feared, that shuffling things around to accommodate Mason Lino was ineffective to say the least.

Never say die friends, specially for the supreme escape artists that are Trinity. I have to say you did look very poor last night and that coincided with Giants coming back to something like the team they were last year, But i know you can play much better than that, you don't beat the teams you have without playing some decent football. I really don't want to see you go down just when things are turning round for you off the field. So good luck with the rest of your fixtures, The fat lady isn't singing just yet, you have time.

Hull FC ran away with it in the end. 36-18. It's no change but Cas gain 10 on the points difference.

The run from Chris Satae that put Swift away was a cracker. Memories of Michael Korkidas in 2004 at same venue.

It’s a straight shoot out between us and Cas… and it might come down to points difference..

Sadly you could combined the squads of the two teams and you still couldn’t field a team to bridge the gap to Hudds/Hull/HullKR/Leeds… whoever survives will need to invest big time to compete!

If he didn't step down when we were 0/15 he certainly isnt going to step down now.

The disruption to the side, with Whitbred not making the starting line and then losing Hood and especially dagger didn't help and we were unfortunate to meet Huddersfield on one of their better days.

Hopefully we have our first choice pack (apart from Tangianoa) available for the Warrington game but, the halfbacks are still the big decision.

That’s just minor adversity the sort of which every team & coach has to deal with every other game. It’s excuses, excuses, excuses

I agree with you to a certain point about him not resigning after 16 straight losses etc but as the matches start to diminish so do our opportunities to drag ourselves out of this mess. If he really has the club at heart, and isn’t just acting through selfish delusional denial, then he must accept that he hasn’t got the gravitas or experience to get us out of our dilemma.

Maybe we survive with him because of Castlefords rapid decline but that doesn’t negate the points made above.

5 week ago the points difference was,150 plus and 8 points difference .Some big home games coming up for Wakefield be side the Cas game All we can do is get down and support them .Do not think we will make it ,as said too old and slow , but more hope than 5 week ago
