crabtree`s lack of yards can be attributed to hkr 3 man tackling him every time he got the ball .they really ganged up on him , no problem with that . what we should have done was throw the ball wider as there must have been gaps . but no , especially in the second half we gave him the ball as a matter of routine , at times he was standing still not expecting a pass , but he still got it , and a 3 man reception committee . one of the many examples of our poor play in the second half .

Whys lunty not in the 19 again?

Still injured

Deary me, we threw another game away when in a winning position!

some very silly errors, throwing the ball around and balls not going too a man or dropping it or even worse the ball going to the opposite player! maybe to do with anderson saying about the one out carries last week not being giant like?! things not really gelling at the moment, some of robinsons passes are very poor.

chan had a poor game, wood im afraid for all he is hardworking and a tackler just has no influence on games at all, sooner lunt is back the better.

best giants man lastnight was faiumu, dangerous with the ball and always looking to offload..did drop one ball which led to a try but was a bad pass.

wardle missed a tackle again which led to a try (hanbury) just like last week which led to last weeks last min try.

murphy took a hammering with the ball but such a tough nut and came looking for more.

the combo of brough/ferres/wardle was well defended by widnes all night and we got no joy.

brough needs to get his kicking boots on, missed attempts at goal lastnight and last week cost us 2 points.

dont get this bailey/lawrence interchange, either play one for 80mins or not at all.

anyway good job these games dont matter as we were told last season all about the playoffs!

In the above, I'd just disagree about Chan.

Crabtree given MOM in the examiner.
