I'm glad somebody has picked up on currie, he's so often derided on here but still one of our better players IMO. We have too few forwards who look to get the ball away, for me currie is our most dangerous forward with ball in hand. He worked hard to cover for ratchford tonight who got found out big time for pace. I don't understand people not wanting to re-sign currie, i dont think we will find better available to recruit.

Walker was brilliant, green and bullock had a great stint as well. Relieved with the 2 points, not convinced at all though.

I know ratchford as his critics but his goal kicking as proved to be priceless without him we'd of lost today

We would've been 18 points clear if it wasn't for his tackling!

After being shrugged off like a ragdoll for a try he proceeded to spend 5 minutes moaning at the ref when preparing to kick off.l for some bizarre reason. He is a TERRIBLE captain and whatever dwindling skillset he currently clings on to is not worth his place in the first 13. He’s a utility bench man at best and until this club realises this we will continue to be also-rans.

Ps I could be wrong but I don’t think any of his conversions today were remotely difficult.

True but gets no help off others .remember it's a team game..

If Williams wasn't out there, we lose today. Walker was decent, but to call him the most influential player is a bit much. He has got years before he's in Clark's league(and I Hope he will be!)

Walker is our knew Clarke..if Clarke wants to go that lot then let him go there..hope he wins sod all..as for walker he's our top number 9 and he proved that today..

Do people do it on purpos.

Was interesting to watch that and today I made a point of watching him, for large parts of it he was same as last week. He was often too central and of no help to the edge defence which was alluded to by Powell in an earlier interview, he was not blaming Dufty but the pictures told the story. Someone on here said he looked disinterested but would then pop up in attack. Would not pick him over Brett Hodgson.

Dufty did not look a happy man at all today, got more involved as the game went on but still very quiet in general.
I was made up Green got to actually play properly today, and i thought he did a very good job. Bullock getting back to his form before his injury which is good. Vaughan, don't need to say much at all, he puts it in week in week out. Dudson had i thought his best game for us, nothing special but just ran the ball up hard and tackled well. Not a world beater but if he can keep putting in grafting performances it's what we need.
Kasiano played well today but as always i prefer him coming off the bench to add punch rather than starting, but he does a good job either way.
Harrison is just a worker, he doesn't do anything special but works hard.
Currie had a good game, Thewlis was great, Wrench had a decent game and the more he plays the better he should get.
Not a great game from us in the second half but the age old a wins a win will do for me at this stage.

Ooooh....a marketing thread

As long as Hughes is paying the bills then sticking posts in the ground is the only marketing strategy. There seemed to be little last year other than tube surfing with Buck and Dusty.......it's almost like they watch Field of Dreams every January to motivate themselves.

Errr, the broncos board is that way *points*

It looks like there were some lessons learnt from previous games yesterday. Recently teams have easily been able to work their way down field and end a set with an attacking kick that we typically struggle to deal with. That was not the case yesterday and our forwards put a lot of effort into restricting metres and getting bodies in the tackle to drive them back and control the ruck. This often brought Currie and Harrison into the middle to assist and I think Watson and co spotted this and in the second half they tried to shift to the edges knowing that fatigue would set in and we would struggle to cover the edges.

It felt like at times it was just individual errors in our own half that gave Huddersfield their chances. Clark dropping the ball stone cold in the first half led to a try and on either one or two occasions Dufty spilling the ball led to tries.
We can't afford to gift possession this easily. until we regain that resilience in our goal line defence we need to keep teams away from our 20m area. Last week we gifted Hull the territory from Kick offs. Today it was just spilling the ball.
I heard in commentary that Lucas Green is highly rated by the club, if that is the case why has he not been trusted to come off the bench?
I thought he did ok. Some strong carries and he wasn't a weak link in defence.

I like Dufty and want him to do well here and people make mistakes but I just wish he would have the same enthusiasm when defending as when he is attacking. Standing still and watching what happens and then jogging along the try line when Huddersfield are shifting the ball. There is a really good player in there and it is frustrating to watch when we are defending sometimes.
