On the basis that you would seem to prefer a % based, mistake free, meat and potatoes down the middle gameplan, which is what Huddersfield do - badly. As spectator who regularly attends the games, that's the last thing I want to see. Smith's vision of the game, which was very well executed in the first 40mins against Saints, is far more appealing to me. I accept that because of it's ambition mistakes will inevitably occur. The crucial thing for Smith, is demonstrating that he can win games on a regular basis with this approach to coaching. Now that he largely has he players he wants I think it's fair to judge him over the first dozen games of the season. I'm really hoping he can pull it off.

Agreed, I go to the rugby to be entertained not bored to dearh with % style rugby, as it happens though we are actually completing sets percentage wise, even with our style.

I can start to see our identity now, and to be fair we have won all our games in different ways.

I don’t think we’ll be consistent enough to bothering top two league positions but I think we can best anybody on our day. We were like that at points during the golden generation years aswell

Sinfield was LF for a long time. We now have Cam Smith who wants to be in the halves too. What could go wrong?

Be very interesting to see how we approach next week. Lisone will add something and so should Mom if he’s fit - knock on effect of getting Martin back in the pack where he seems to play his best.

Our left edge didn’t look as sexy in attack without Mom partnering Handley.

Not sure who is fit or ill, Croft has looked a little off it for 2 weeks for me.

Roberts, Newman, Mom, Handley

"Meat and potatoes down the middle game plan"

Another wildly exaggerated conclusion from what I actually said.

Yep, I went way too early with that one....

Pure frustration.

Ha yeah, we’ve been given enough cause for frustration last few years…..

Exactly mate!
And this year is a bit of a roller coaster already.
I guess that makes it more interesting ATEOTD.
Roll on next Friday....

I think some fans expect perfect performances, sports more enjoyable when you accept players will miss tackles, drop the ball and make bad decisions. There’s a general negative attitude which looks for negative things. Just take a step back and enjoy the game.

This isn’t aimed at anyone in particular, just a general observation.

To be fair I don't think anyone suggested Simmo didn't know what he was talking about.
