meast kuffesy went back to aus the other one was playing for wakey before moving to Leeds as for lunt hes not the only player to fall out and go but when he is the only hooker we have he should have been replaced before we let him go.

We have had a solid season if you judge it by where we finished in the league, If you judge it on the quality of Rugby played , it has been a lot less successful, In the regular season 80% of the games were distinctly poor with a good performance in and amongst.
Our best form came in the 8s and we played some nice football, It got everyone exited that maybe this was our year, Where we really blew it was the home game against Leeds, We were really up for that game, yet somehow contrived to throw it away, I believe we could have won the semi had we won that one, I think the manner in which we lost it destroyed our chance at Wigan.

I think you are probably right about us over achieving, so although I'm not a big P Anderson fan he is due credit for getting more out of the team than we have a right to expect, End of the day It's not a bit of good punching above your weight if you keep getting knocked out .

I agree we need more than Hinchcliffe and Rapira, also that Grix and Robbo need to go, I could live with Conner at Fullback till such times as Simpson is ready, provided we get a quality halfback, I know most people think Ellis OK and he is , but OK is not good enough if we are going to the next level, There are players available If some body will get off their A**se and make an attempt. I don't think it will happen because the noises already coming out of the club are that Hinchcliffe and Rapira are going to work Miracles for us , Just like all the others before them. It is a recipe for more of the same.

I don't think there is any doubt Mr Anderson will be staying, and I am fine with that because although I am more often than not disappointed with the style of football we play, He has as we have said probably got more out of them than we have a right to expect with the limited talent he has in key places, That said I would have thought he could get more out of the forwards, where we have no shortage of power on paper, and to be fair in some games they have shown they can do the business, in others they have had a good hiding.

With Huddersfield's history over the last 50 odd years It's easy to see why they are so ready to celebrate winning nothing, Yes we did finish third, and to teams who have more money to spend, But we have to find ways to get up to their level by whatever means, More money ,Better coaching, Better scouting, all three maybe, if we don't we will remain the nearly there team, and the crowds which I'm told have fallen about 2,000 in the last 3 years will remain stagnant.

8 out of 10 for me overall, based against on paper our squad against others in the comp and resources etc.

Progression from last year, where I thought we were powder puff for huge parts. We've had more steel about us this year. Some promising youngsters have had some great experience. Signings from last pre season have pretty much worked out as hoped.

Ellis - no coincidence that broughs upturn in form over the season coincided with Ellis settling in with a proper run in the team. Takes the line on, good step, relishes turning teams around and a righty. Good balance for the team.

Huby - solid. Great beard.

Hughes - great engine. Class in defence. Got better with the ball as the season went on. Shame he's off to wire

Roberts is an ongoing project, so we'll wait and see.

I saw the 8s almost as the 1st part of playoffs and had a nagging fear that we would implode as we did last year, but we kicked on. Until that fateful Friday night against Leeds. And gutting as it was, I can live with that defeat as we went toe to toe with a top team and got pipped at the post. That last minute took a lot from the team and led directly into last week, where we never got started. But overall, an improvement from last year.

I'm positive so far about the incoming guys for next year. If rapira is fit and motivated he is a great addition and hinchcliffe is gravy. Top, top signing. I also think Patrick returning after a year in Wigan environment will be a good +1.

No lack of effort this year, sometimes misguided application and inconsistent but I think we made small strides again.

Plus, off the field, the atmosphere has been much improved home and away. Wire away will stay with me for a long time.

hinchcliffe

rapira

connor to full back

but even then we may get to the semi and lose again. deep down felt we would lose at wigan as been let down so many times before

Expect a big announcement on Jermaine's future tomorrow.

Generally agree with the majority on here. I agree about Connor at fullback. Lots of creativity, not sure about Wardle back to centre, would rather have Murph with Jodie on the wing but that ship has sailed unfortunately.

Plus it's about time a decision was made on Connors position. Whether he eventually replaces Grix, Brough or Wardle he needs a specialist position to flourish and reach his potential, I'd let him choose where he prefers.

It worries me how much of a turnover we have had in players this year, much more so than in the recent past.

Another centre/winger whereever they come from would be great for competition. Wardle starting to look more and more a second row, as he seems to be more suited to crashing over than supplying a killer pass when theres someone in space.

thought it was sorted weeks ago and signed for five years like he said got to look after my young family
