Defence wins games... Our D will be too good for them this week. They will struggle to make ground and where we will win it is around the ruck. I'm going for a 18-8 win.

I wish I was going now it should be a cracker

Leeds rout ?? hope you don't play the lottery.....

Unlucky

What was today's penalty count?

I left with the impression it was heavily in the Giants favour.

I thought so also,but we still cheated according to some

Our discipline was as bad as early stages last season and Silverwood was not to blame for that.

My only issue with Silverwood was his failure to penalise Crabtree for using Ali's arm as leverage in the 2nd half and then penalising us for exactly the same offence in the Giants next set of six. Its' a nasty little tactic creeping into all teams (both sides were penalized for it on Sky last night) and I'd have liked Silverwood to have handled that fairly as Ganson did.

I am sure many Leeds fans will be blaming Silverwood for our defeat but we had plenty of opportunities on their line in that 2nd half and looked very lost with the ball. Again, I expect the halves to cop some flak for that but there was an appalling lack of runners and an even more appalling lack of set moves. Once JJB and Keith were forced into the centre wing combo and we had an immobile, slow back row of Peacock and Kirke it was hardly a surprise.

A bit of a a gaff tactically from our coach today, IMO.

agree with a lot of that G1. one thing that did get on ma nerves was when we did get the penalties from silverwood, the kick into touch was woeful. sideways just about every time with hardly any yardage made. Some of Huddersfields penalties were making massive metres and giving them real momentum.

Very lazy kicking and sums up the lethargic start to 2010!

Mmmmmm not sure but a more interesting stat would be when then penalties were issued. Alot of fans are wise to the fact that when a team is on the wrong end of certain harsh penalties the ref will try balance it up once the game is over either way so the after match report looks a little fairer.



Did Silverwood not penalise Raleigh for a facial on a Whino's player but say nothing when Big Eorl was having his nose re-arranged?

Did Silverwood not issue Leeds 2 penalties for holding down before halftime but none to Giants for same offence until well late into the game once we were back in front?

Onto one of your other points other teams are all struggling with injuries too
