It may only be 13 minutes in but MB has already been the cause of 2 of the 3 tries we've conceded.

The first he was badly positioned to stop the 40-20 attempt from reaching touch and for the third he's hit the ball out of play for a scrum rather than hitting it dead for a drop out.

Murphy needs to move to FB with Blanch being put on the wing - Blaymire can hit the showers now

And just to prove my point another positional howler from Blaymire is rescued with a fantastic cover tackle from Murphy!

Doesn't matter who plays FB. Huddersfield are ripping Trinity to shreds across the field, again.

get them all off sh*t nop other word for it

Poor from JD. Madness to go with three props against Hudds

It's madness to go with 3 props against anyone!!!!

If Blanch was fit enough to be brought off the bench after 20 minutes he was fit enough to have started. That way we could have had King on the bench giving us another prop and CalaMatty Blaymire could have been where he should have been all along - as far away from the pitch as possible.

Could not go tonight due to recent op

I am struggling for any interest in RL in general this season for some reason and tonight is doing nothing to help we are making Huddersfield look a better side than they are Brough and BJ are invisible
Also what the bloody hell is JK doing playing only 1 prop on the bench again it is far too lightweight
The fact is we have signed a dud in King he is finished at this level
We need to pull some fingers out and sign a bloody prop

I do like Blaymire but Murphy has not put a foot wrong all season at Full back so why change it for the sake of it

totaly pd off by this performance tonight all we can do now is come out and win the 2nd half

JD hasnt looked the player he used to be this year.

He's having a mare. Just nothing going right for him. He will do well to keep his place next week. Although the whole team have been well below par.

JD has looked a shadow of his former self from what i have seen of the other games too which is a shame because i have always rated him.

in defence of Brough and BJ, the latter picked up a knee injury in the first ten minutes and it was while we were carrying him that Huddersfield gained the ascendancy. As for Danny Brough, I'm surprised he's actually playing tonight after the head injury he suffered in St Helens. Not only did he suffer a nasty concussion but he also had a deep laceration to his head which severed a vein.

Couple that with our pack being absolutely dominated by the Huddersfield forwards leaving our halfbacks with nothing to work with.

Agreed, he's been wonderful for us but is this a season too far? We cannot carry a player on nostalgia but we seem to be doing just that at the moment.

Poor selection tonight, why have Blanch on the bench, should have either started with Blaymire dropping out or should have been made to wait another week, why sign King if hes not going to get a chance? For me only Moore Murph, Morrison, Sam and Hendo seemed interested.

blaymire was poor last week also against saints...has he been brought back too early? murphy was making that position his own..

very disappointed after tonight, to me it was the worst performance since cas at hom nearly 2 years ago. i don't know why king wasn't part of the team tonight but it was strange to see blanch on the bench. did jk know that somebody had an injury?

oh well hkr next week !

Cant be blaming blaymire imo no one would have stopped that bombardment of attack with 5 players vs 1 with the amount players backing up.

Worst performance since the corresponding fixture last season for me, Trinity like to save them up for Huddersfield.

and his junior rugby effort with eastmond last week? and at least 2 missed tackles tonight which he should have made ? not having a go but the question is was he brought back too early when murphy was playing so well?

I don't know whether he was brought back too early he had played well in the 2 warm up games looking very sharp apparently, and he was a solid performer last year.

Murphy was playing very very well and i personally don't think he should have been changed but ....
I don't agree with the eastmond argument and try. 2 missed tackles ? don't think he was the worst of the lot by someway. FWIW morrison was excellent today imo our mom by a long way.

agree about morrison.

Everyone may have had a stinker last night, but what is up with Blaymire?!?!?! Any more performances like that Matthew and you can F.R.O. back to York! Is that clear?!?!?!

grow up Paul What the hell could matt do when the right side defence was non existant i would point a finger at our centre and 2nd row before having a go at the easy target Blaymire or Morton in skys case

Well morton was shocking last night was pointed out for missing 7 tackles and not making one!! it just looked like he never wanted to make a tackle

He was like a kid in a sweet shop, he had that many players to pick from he did not know whether to stick or twist. A bit of help would not have gone amiss

Should this thread not be about Gleeson whose defence was awful and let most of the tries in down his flank???

think sky said he missed 6 and made 9 i blame his centre and 2nd row not all his fault when you watch it hes a good young winger who has done bloody well for us

Correct

I would also like to add he has played 5 games already which is more than enough for someone at the stage of his career. We have asked a lot from this kid by getting him to step up to this level and last night was probably one game too much.

He will learn and also improve with time and be better for the experience.
