Add in consistency and virtualy full strength all year it makes them a tough opposition.
The bigger question is have they "peaked" already because as we know at this time of year the likes of us Pies and Wire will go up in intensity and perfromance?
Makes it a bit more interesting anyway.

With the season they have had that is appalling. Of course, I don't expect them to attain Leeds attendances but a decrease on their own attendances of 17% is shocking. If I were Ken Davy I really don't think I'd bother. What more can he do?

Season ticket prices were massively increased from last year. Better than flogging them cheap and going bust.

Given Hudds' form over recent years I don't blame their fans for being sceptical regarding their ability to perform right through the season. Hopefully, now that their scepticism has been proved to be misplaced for once, their ticket sales will increase. Should they not, then delivering a trophy-winning team will have failed and in that instance there really is little else that Davy can do.

Leaving working at 4.30 from leeds, looking forward to this.

I'm sure this is right. The ability of Huddersfield to win big games in knockout football is still a fundamental doubt. How many here honestly think they're the best team in the comp?

Which is why we have play-offs.

Wasn't the CC match - that Leeds lost massively - a knockout match?

Lunt and Brough are more than enough to defeat Leeds again: the coaching staff have no idea how to combat Brough and will no doubt select Burrow a starting hooker against Lunt

This match really typifies SL this seasonleast convincing[/i and [imost boring [/ifor many a season....yet will still finish in their highest position under McDerrmott's tenure !! A sign of things to come?

The likes of Watkins, Hardaker and Hall might as well find employment in the NRL: their talents are wasted at Leeds and in SL

Ref BJB...I have often said he is the type of player that can do something brilliantly, but also just as likely do something the complete opposite of this with a bad fumble or pathetic tackle.
The potential signing of Briscoe failed to excite only because RW is still not in any way a priority. I think ALL agree that is hooker (and re-signing Ali )
The young kid, Duckworth, looked good enough to be given another opportunity in what is after all a meaningless match.

Pedigree! Once upon time yes.......this is the present though - with pensionable more knackered and easily dominated forwards and yet an inability of others to get the ball out quickly to its young exciting outside backs

Less than 12 months ago = once upon a time?

Troll is weak.

Just as a side note fetlar who is actually questioning JP individually?
There's obvious need for at least 1 impact FR and even more so a regular natural 9 if Mcshane isnt to get the gig week in week out = need for Forwards??
