How come none of the commentators mention how woeful Jake Connor is, especially in defence. A good defensive fullback would have stopped 2 or three of our tries. Some of his attempts at tackles were embarrassing. Yet they go on like he is some kind of god. It was only a month ago that commentators (jiffy) were slating Dufty for not taking a high ball. Dufty is 10 times the player Connor is.
Anyway, great performance. I had my doubts before the match that we may slip up. Definitely a lot of ruthlessness in this team which is great to see.

Really, really happy with that and how the season is going. Don't think we could in our wildest dreams wish for much more; exciting winning rugby with players putting the graft in and playing for each other.

A big mention to Gleeson for our attacking structure which is so good with so many moves and options.

Going to be tough against Wigan who'll be favourites, but we've got more than a descent chance imo.

And we play them the week before

Re Bolton ...
I feel your pain, the 104 minutes of football ruined a perfectly good day out yesterday. Absolutely pathetic, spineless performance from start to finish.

Not wholly their fault (although quite close) but the manager and captain need to be gone long before the next season starts. Their style of walking football is mind-numbingly painful to watch!

Wanderer!

Fully agree my friend, San toss and Evatt should be gone - total bottle jobs!

So.. We should send the kids to France (for the third cats fixture this year) and same against Wigan, no need to show our hand of risk any bans or suspensions.

Vaughan, Duffty and Williams should be wrapped up in cotton wool until the final!

There’s a lot to like about this team. Not the most exhilarating with the ball, but everyone knows their jobs and everyone gets theirs done. Ben Currie with a shift and a half in that heat, Philbin worked hard and fought for everything. Danny Walker is absolutely superb and Toby King and Matty Ashton are turning into a real handful of a combo.

I've just got home (lost a few hours)

Would I be right in saying Huddersfield were REALLY bad today?

Interesting fixture that one the week before the final. You won’t rest many/any in France but our game could see two vastly different teams facing off. I’m not sure Burgess seems the sort to rest too many mind and we didn’t rest many the week before the 2022 final, so we’ll have to wait and see. The fact it’s against each other could force both coaches to hold a bit back.

To Matt Wire....(Unable to quote your post) :-

Just read that Wire are travelling to France tomorrow and training there until we play Catalan.

Looks like we are taking that fixture seriously.

The Wigan game prior to the Cup Final could be a bit of a farce though.

Like that, I would rather we have a good go at Catalan and rest against Wigan.

I didn't get to watch the game today but, well done, and I wish you all the best in the final. For those who decide to go to Wembley, have a great day everyone.

Well done today, you totally deserved the win and good luck for the final. As we go every year we will be there supporting you. Giants (Fartown) for life, Warry for the day!

All class are Hudds*, your coach admitted we were the far better side today, total fair play to him. Soft spot for you lot since the "well done wire" banner in 2011.

*Except Jake Connor, can't say he'd have won over any Hudds skeptics today! Absolute pillock.
