Agreed, just shows the importance of half backs or pivotal players.

I would say if the situation was reversed and we had Pyrce and Lomax/Eastmond playing the Giants with Brough/Brown and Robinson missing, there would have been a high probability of Saints winning the game.

That LMS song was superb

2 points is all you did get, let's see how it pans out come the business end of the season.

Business end of season we will have 2 points mote than we would have, simple maths really

But a early departure in play offs will mean them 2 points will count for nothing.

Huddersfield are a fine team and I suspect it won't be them making an early exit from the playoffs. Wind your neck in, you come across as so parochial and childish.

Its banter. I know you don't have sense of humour and love the boring negative things in life but some like a little friendly banter.

I suggest you wind your neck in.

I've been thinking about this a little more today. The half backs are so key it's unreal.

In that first half if there was no brough (forget brown) Hudds would not have scored. He made the banana kick which gave them the set of six for the first try and the 2nd one was all him.

We had none of that cutting edge, possesion and territory wise I bet it was pretty even, but there was nothing there to challenge the huddersfield defence.

It wasn't just the halfbacks. We had no grunt up front either. We desperately needed that against a pack the size of Huddersfield. I think they just make big blokes in Huddersfield. We looked about 12 years old by comparison!

The lack of half backs was key for us but having no Flannery, Moore, Clough and Wilkin up front affected us. The biggest loss was Puletua. He's a massive player for us and then to lose Perry during the game left us with very little.

Where have I said hudds ain't a fine team?

If you check back through all my posts you'll find that i tipped hudds as one of the main teams to fight for the grand final and I also said I think they play good rugby.
