| Eddie, I disagree it will mean nothing if we don't make the playoffs. How much confidence do you think Burgess, Donaldson Whitehead and Koppy will gain knowing they owned an absolutley awesome Giants pack? All the above will have gained a massive boost from that.
Losing, like winning, becomes a habit, and one of the issues we've faced in the past couple of years has been a huge lack of confidence, with dwindling crowds getting on the backs of individuals, and the team as a whole.
Just enjoy the win.

No, no no, it was an excellent PERFORMANCE. The to-nil scoreline is certainly icing on the cake, but this was all about the way the team performed, and not at all about the mere fact of the result.
Quote: mystic eddie "but it will mean absolutely sod all if, as expected, we fail to reach the play-offs. '"
This is just plain wrong. It means what it meant to all the Odsal faithful, who were fortunate to be there to witness it. It will certainly mean a lot to the players, who for once will have been able to leave the ground feeling justifiably good about themselves. We were already out of the playoffs, it has feck all to do with the playoffs.
Quote: mystic eddie "I really don't care if some of the people on here have me pegged as some sort of dour miserableist as I am simply saying things as I see them and I am keeping some sort of realism about the season. '"
You see, you post as if all the people on this thread had said this performance made up for the disappointments of the season, but nobody has, and clearly nobody would. We all know what the season has been. It is ludicrous of you to imply that praising such a performance is somehow equal to being unrealistic about the season.
Quote: mystic eddie "Maybe for another thread but you could well ask how the players who were capable of that sort of result (and performance) have dished us up so much garbage for the rest of the season? '"
You could, and many have, and will, in the million threads devoted to just that subject.
Quote: mystic eddie "They have cheated the fans up till now but now that they have shown what they are capable of we will soon see if it was indeed a one off freak result against a Huddersfield side on an off-day or whether it is indeed the shape of things to come?'"
If you were there, there was nothing, at all, freakish about it. For once, they did everything right, and played as if their lives depended on it. They were awesome. This is the bit you are missing, though it's understandable if you were not there to see what we did for 80 minutes with your own eyes.
Quote: mystic eddie "Welcome to Odsal, home of the blinkered, the naive and the hypocritical.'"

Quite simply I was stating that it was an excellent result but it will mean absolutely sod all if, as expected, we fail to reach the play-offs. One could also question why it is that we seem to up our game against certain near neighbours and are generally abject everywhere else?
FFS one win and suddenly Sykes has silenced all his critics, people Welcome to Odsal, home of the blinkered, the naive and the hypocritical.'"
Pretty much exactly what I've been trying to say - unfortunately we appear to be the only people that have a memory that goes further back than yesterday.

| No, you appear to be the only two who seem determined not to have enjoyed the performance yesterday, and seem determined to try and bring the gloom down once again on everyone else. It'll likely descend again soon enough, without the likes of you doing your level best to help it.
But good to see its everyone else who is wrong, eh?

By far the most sensible posts on this thread have come from mystic eddie. - copyright Ewwenorfolk 09.04.2013
Aye, and Eddie is hinting at it too. And, as we all know:

After 10540 post you finally get it spot on.
The law of averages suggested that it would happen eventually.

Just because you have a Leeds postcode, there is no escaping the fact that you pay your council tax to Bradford, and keep the rest of the Bradmet area in the style to which they have become accustomed...

You'd think that with you living at Odsal, you'd get to watch a few more games. It's normally pure torture, right up your masochistic street.

| Great to see such a good result can still lead to some whinging. So we might have been thrashing Hudders a few years back but it's a different Hudders team now isn't it? Our team deserve credit for getting it right this week. Well done to them! Maybe they cane see what's possible when they have the right attitude and play as a team.
I was away for this one as I was for the Leeds game too. I think I'm some kind of Jonah. I'll happily take financial contributions to stay away from our remaining games.
