| Quote: John S "Great turn out by the Wire fans but the Huddersfield turn out was again poor and contributed to a low attendance.
They also failed to get behind their team. 51 minutes before the 1st chant of "Fartown" and 3 mins later "Huddersfield". The fans were as poor as their team.'"
Are you on the rag or something?
Who gives a sh*t about their turn out or how much "chanting" they did. Its a game of footy! |

Like what?

| Quote: Cronus "All I said was there's a case for it. I've seen them given, I've seen them denied. This one was denied. Would the defender have prevented the try if unobstructed? Possibly - Briers had to adjust his defence when he was suddenly 1-on-1. Probably the correct decision overall but I've seen very similar tries given.
The Lunt decision was a disgrace.'" all media down here say the same thing. the ref was half a metre away . unobstructed veiw. and he went to the video ref . he is a f--king joke .how pathetic. our jaw hit the ground with that 1  |

Thank you for your considered and intelligent response.
Attendances at Cup Finals/Grand Finals and 'big' weekly games have always been of interest both in the UK and Australia.
The sight of many empty seats did not look good and it is disappointing that after a good season to date the Huddersfield public did not turn out in their droves.
Unlike in Australia, fans in the UK tend to get behind there teams more vocally---as expressed by many, if not all, players from Down Under, and therefore it was surprising that the Huddersfield end of the ground--which I was in--was very quiet, even at the start of the game.
Yes, "its a game of footy" but other factors make the occasion. |

Being able to make a good read in defense.
Fullback positional play.
being able to pass to your left, and right, if you are a halfback.
How about not running into the back of the only team mate within your half of the field and giving away and obstruction penalty!
What about a prop thinking he can throw lobbed passes to his without getting intercepted.
Just simple, basic, under 9's like mistakes. And these are your best players!  |

And here's me thinking you knew something about the British game.

Ok lets look at your best player.
Paul Wellens is slow, cant tackle and has never known what positional play is.....and yet he'll be picked for England.
Your halfback, Burrow, cant kick, has no passing game and cant tackle. Oh and he needs a broke, retreating defensive line to run, and then needs a defense to not scramble to make for than 5 meters.
All your forwards are soft. All of them.
Your wingers are terrible under the high ball and have no idea where to be in defense.
Your are clueless in defensive positioning. They leave their inside defender and winger like a shag on a rock in defense. They have poor hands, they have zero skill.
You name an English player and I'll tell you the massive, game ending problems they have.
Do you realize that when the mentioned the Challenge Cup Final on the Footy Show and the like that they were all laughing about players in the side and how "He's STILL playing?".
You're competition is a shambolic joke. You're players are a waste of space and your coaches, well, they dont coach.

All your forwards are soft. All of them. bit off the mark we have some ok forwards
Your wingers are terrible under the high ball and have no idea where to be in defense. yep
Your centres are clueless in defensive positioning. They leave their inside defender and winger like a shag on a rock in defense. They have poor hands, they have zero skill. most definitely so, our centres as a whole are gash

To quote Shakespeare ( who was English, not Australian, by the way ) every single one of your posts is 'full of sound and fury, signifying nothing'. |

Freak has just called Morley soft.
I think he's definitely lost it now, he should come back when he can talk sense.
