we have lost one match, give the lads a bit of slack ffs, Oconner looks a very good signing imo

We don't do Thursday's very well, have we played 3 lost 3?

I don't think anyone is going over the top, poor performance by most, we have a good break and need to react.

Oh yeah, good point mate haha! Not thinking straight after that calamity!

Got what we deserved. Forwards didn't win their battle and halves (possibly as a result) went too lateral too early. Easy to defend. Need to be much better next game.

I think we've taken this game as free hit and played like it and came up with nothing

The team have salvaged many games this year so we can cut them a bit of slack tonight. They've earned that over the year.
Sometimes you learn more from a loss. Been coming for a while .
Thought Carlos looked better at half when Pryce got taken off. Connor could also play that role with ease on tonight's performance.
At least Yeaman can't cop any flak tonight.

We'll still be top after the weekend. At some point in the season we were going to lose another game and it happened to be tonight. Sh.t weather as it was at Leeds and we couldn't seem to change our game to suit. Lets not get on their backs, they'll be as disappointed as we are.

Important not to go overboard about the loss which was probably due.

All about how we refocus and start another winning run.

Didn't cost us the game but it was a poor refereeing display from former Huddersfield Giants academy player Chris Kendall.

I was all for Pryce coming back in, but he failed to take his chance, although he did play behind a beaten pack.

Oh well. Short turnaround and a few big players missing. I'm not too disappointed really. Let's see how they respond next game.

One of the positives atleast was Connor ("the cast off with poor pedigree"icon_wink.gif looked pretty good.

Agreed. Debatable whether he or sneyd was the worst.

IMO we really looked flat from the off, tbf hudds played well and did the basics, we now have a few days off and players to come back, important we hit back against leeds, still top of the league whatever happens this weekend, COYH

Really? Has he?

Talk about over reaction



The talking back to the ref was stupid, granted, but I don't recall offloads and wayward passes from him. Tonight or in any other game.

Glad we got that performance out of way.sometimes a loss is what you need to bring everyone back to reality and focus on what it was that earned you the wins. I don't want my team to lose any games but I would of been more nervous if we was still unbeaten going into the semi.makes the leeds game a lot bigger as people probably seeing that as 2 nailed on points but tonight proves when it comes to game time league positions count for nothing.

Moanaire won't see it like that. Yeamo was a big miss but for me, again we missed Watts big style and of course Ellis. I think barring injuries, that's the last we see of Pryce in the halves, he was awful. Carlos looked the part when he moved to stand off. Naughton for me showed up well but he isn't Shaul, he would have looked better if we'd been on the front foot. Ne'er mind, onwards and upwards. Won't be here for the next 2, so probably be be big wins

Horrible wet night and failure by us to play the conditions. Impressed with Huddersfield without Brough tbh, their defence looked good and they've stepped on and maybe turned a corner.

Our energy was poor, perhaps understandably, we never really got going. Jake Connor looks a right signing.

The response is important. Can see Leeds winning this weekend and looking to get on a roll with players back. Big week in training.

Probably Sneyd, but at least he tried thing, Pryce seemed to be no way to be seen.

hudds played well and deserved the win. Out enthused us and defended really well I thought.

We were awful from the off. Lacking in energy, aggression and ideas. Like some have said, that has been coming for weeks. We haven't been playing well but have found ways to win. pryce woeful, sneyd probably his worst game all season, forwards struggling to get into the game. We missed yeaman on our left edge and I doubt they'd have scored those 2 tries if he'd been playing. The decision for the 3rd try was a joke but you get those and have to deal with them.

Hopefully we can draw a line under it and win next week but we've missed a golden opportunity tonight to really turn the screw on the rest of the top 4. Potentially we could have been 4 points clear by the end of this round, now we may be only top by points difference.

fonua has been great for us in recent weeks yet barely touched the ball tonight, radford left manu on too long and I presume pritchard picked up a knock as he only played about 20 minutes.

Thought Naughton looked knackered gave up on a ball he. Old have should have challenged.

Lack of brains we have Fonua on the right against a young skinny kid and we keep attacking there right were there two best players are.

pryce imo unless injuries strike shouldn't be in the team, tuime looked a lot better at stand off and should play there from now on, manu tackled his heart out and imo was one of our better players, we just lacked any go forward and looked tired from the off, leeds a big match on fri and already looking forward to it,

Bloody spell checker. Gave up on a ball he could have should have challenged

Naughton picked up a knock in the first half I thought.

Wasn't totally convinced that we didn't need a new half next year, but as you say Carlos looked the part when he switched there. Given the fact Connor could play as one of the pivots as well, think we'll be okay next year.
One of those nights. Regroup, refocus and get the defeat out the way before we play the Dobbins.
