Hudds in for consolation. Kick good.

32 : 10

Have we turned the corner ...?

1 win got to say no, need consistency in all games, need to play well even in defeat. In a lot of games we looked like they couldn’t be bothered.

Credit to Wire, Huddersfield look like they have their minds on semi final rugby.

Much better.

Nice win well played, excellent from the youngsters.

Any anoraks out there know the last time we scored so many points AND they were all scored by players who have come through the academy?

Huddersfield were awful. Has to be said. How slow is Charnley now!!!

Thought Dean was mom. One of those players who looks like he has time. Kicking from hand not great but he had a hand in many tries.

No justification for Ratchford being in the team anymore.

Paul Anderson might have a smile when he sees the scores.

32 points all scored by academy products is pretty impressive from a club that is trying to buy the title???

Disagree, Ratchford is the most talented player at our club, however he isn’t the best fullback.
Either we play him at 13 or ideally as a Swiss Army knife off the bench.

Glad the young uns have performed well hope this sends out a message to widdop and Williams and powell

I am sure it does and they will be very happy about it. It sounds as if Mata'utia played well too.
But the pack must have played much better as well.

Maybe 4-5 years ago. I agree his best position would be as a utility interchange but he’s not our best full back and he’s arguably 5th best half back on recent showing. I’d be in favour of playing him at loose forward if we had a monster back but we don’t have that luxury.

Apparently Thewlis took a knock at the end. Any ideas?

I'm thinking last 3 games have markedly improved performances. Big test vs Wigan.

Twas in the try saving tackle north west corner, he looked pretty beat up on the wing while play wound down, that being said he looked like he'd taken a shot to the ribs in the first set.

Just seen him talking on Wire TV and he looked very happy & relaxed.

I half agree with you Clutch, the half I don't is your opinion of Dean's kicking from hand. I actually thought it was excellent (I'm trusting my eyesight here Magoo-esque at times) but i think he grubbered well set up try's with it forced a drop out we looked a lot better with our last tackle plays than we have done for quite some time.

Didn't think we'd get a comfortable win today, and would have taken sneaking the points in a scrappy affair at 3 this afternoon. Now I'm beginning to believe that Widdop and Ratchford are part of the problem, rather than the solution.

Well done to the young lads who are developing very well, and at last our academy set up is looking to bear the fruit that we've needed for a long time. Riley Dean ought to get more game time on the back of todays performance.

We need to offer Dean a contract PDQ and get him signed-up on a long term basis.

His current contract expires at the end of this season.

Ratchford, or the crazy deification of him has been part of the problem for a while. Thewlis’ stats have almost surpassed Ratchfords for the entire of last season….after 6 games and in a side doing comfortably worse. Bench at best from now on, Widdop can just go.

Spoke to him briefly after the game, and he wasn`t in any discomfort then, just on cloud 9 after scoring a hat trick.

Great win today, although there is something drastically wrong when we are better when both of our marquee halves aren't playing!

Sign up Riley Dean, if he gets a run now he shouldn't lose his shirt, regardless of who is available. Thewlis is already there, no way he should lose that fullback shirt now except for injury or a drastic drop of form.
