A couple of queries from last night...

1) Did Richard Wright do last nights team talk??

2) Is McGoldric and Clayton, Mattersons love childs??

Poor performance last night. Huddersfield beat Cas in every department. Their forwards made more yards, they were a heck of a lot quicker around the ruck, and Robinson ran the show for them.

But was one game and it was a pre-season game. The postive out of the game was that the club now know exactly where they are at and that a lot of hard work is required.

I think showing for the heads of Matterson and McGoldrick is a little early.

It seems to happen every year though, regardless of our performances; and always by people who can't answer the question "So who would you realistically replace them with then?"

Thornton & Owen both FAR better then Matterson & McGoldrick.

Yeah, but two weeks before the season even starts? Is this some sort of record?


As a sidenote, from 25 years in journalism I know that purple ink is a big sign that says "IGNORE THIS CORRESPONDENCE. IT'S FROM A LOON"

Are you really comparing someone who's been our coach for over 4 years (with relative success when put in perspective) and spent pretty much his entire career at the top level of the game; with someone who has no experience coaching in the top-flight?

I have no problems with Matterson and i believe he is a good coach, who as done alot of good for the club.

My problem is Ryan McGoldric keeping Owen out of full back, whenever Ryan was on the pitch last night (around 70mins) he was full back and Owen on the wing/bench.

I believe that Owen is alot better full back, and doesnt give away alot of daft penalties like McGoldric (like last night at Hodgson conversion attempt). Surely we have to look at the bigger picture here and see Owens are number one full back and put McGoldric maybe on the bench for the Leeds game.

I think you're pretty much preaching to the converted there and you're absolutely right in what you say IMO. There only seems to be one person who thinks playing McGoldrick at full-back is the way forward, and that's the one bloke who picks the team.
