but we dont have nines only Houghton so we will never know if our nines would find it difficult

It's better than it was a few weeks ago, but we're missing Swift, Carlos, Griffin, Sao, Mau, Savelio probably Cator from our 1st choice 17.

Only the second game that spine has played together.

We're still up against it for me. Hudds had a few injuries admittedly, bit they've not been anywhere near as disrupted as us. Which has probably helped them finish higher up the table.

Like I say, disappointed to lose the way we did, but it's not the end of the world. Get Saints out the way next week, then hopefully we can get some bodies back and have a decent last month.

Still dont rate him as a coach and a very lucky man to still be in a job

well pleased tonight ,good effort away at hudd.strange last week after the toulouse game,bonaire didnt post at all,good effort but a loss tonight and hes posting a plenty with the usual drivel.

Really good game IMO. Huddersfield deserved winners but can't fault our effort. Are we after Longstaff long term? Thought he showed up well again.

Matt Shaw seemed to think he didn't have a future at Wire. They've signed Nicholson and Josh McGuire. Plus they've got Holmes and Currie.

I'd like to see us keep him

Great effort, couple of poor plays second half and a bit of kidology from hudds fullback turned the game, always in the back foot last 10-15.....couldn't buy a penalty tonight yet hudds were getting plenty from the same infringements, never offside once in the defensive line!

Sign longstaff permanently to replace Mau then try sign Peats using the quota spot if Toulouse go down?

Oh he will be on here all next week

Hodgson has just alluded to something similar on radio.

Nearly all the second half seemed to be played on our line and that constant pressure told in the end.

Had to cope without two of our main forwards for the full second half which was bound to tell. Could really have done with Evans the way he was playing.

Sounded like a great effort which is all I ask for.

Jack Brown popped his shoulder and Evans has a knee issue. They'll both probably miss next week.

Just gets easier

I thought you guys played well this evening. Plenty of effort, you could tell they wanted it, thats half the battle isn't it.

Longstaff is a great player, I'd have him at Hudds in a heartbeat, big future. I don't personally rate Simm, he's still a kid but I've just seen too many errors from him this season. He'll probably bag a hattrick against saints next week

Smith will get a ban too.

Simm might not be able to play either (which isn't a big loss IMO)

What happened to Mitch?

Think Mitch was ill, according to Hodgson.

A very solid effort from the boys, it’s a tough one to take as I really thought Huddersfield were there for the taking. We have to be realistic, that was still a very understrength side which pushed one of the standout teams of the season right to the end.

The difference between the two sides was a hooker which comes off the bench and makes an impact, please take note BH

I think we are all coming to the same opinion



Having said that I wish he would give Simm a go at centre to see what he can offer there as that is suppose to be his better position but it seems that isn’t going to happen.

BH said Simm can play next week as far as he knows?

Shock horror Josh Jones is in the middle of it but according to some people there is no ill will between our players and him

Were both players Yellow carded or just Smith?

Just Smith, for the shove to the face.....

Losing Kane Evans and Jack Brown killed us. Convinced we'd have won that game with both of them on the pitch. Nothing more gutting than conceding tries from dummy half, hate seeing that.

For a coach who has bottled every final, Ian Watson is a smug git.

Wasn't at the game last night as can't get there on Friday's (no idea why clubs choose to miss out on away support, Huddersfield Town were away last night so it wasnt due to Football)

Think a few fans on social media need a reality check, in the SL era we have been a mid table team, I had us down to finish 6th this year but we may end up 7th-9th, but in the grand scheme of things it doesn't really matter, I can't see any teams in this weak league getting to the Grand Final from 6th.

As long as we are competing in games like we did last night, and continuing to replace the deadwood with younger, faster players then we are heading in the right direction.

Agree 100%

One of our current issues, is the fact that our backs aren't very good at making metres, very rarely do out backs make over 100 metres in a gane, really miss Carlos and Swift for their work and metres, eve. Griffin was good for helping out the forwards.
