Was as gutted at the end as i have ever been at any match of any sport I've been too. If we ever do get to grand final I'll be a nervous wreck!

Thought we went really well. We went toe to toe and lost out on the narrowest of margins at the very last second. Not a case of us turning up or choking. We were just edged out. Painful though it was/is, I can stomach that.

I couldn't single anyone out for criticism after that. Yes, there were mistakes. But from both teams, and across the board. Is grix the best full back in the world, no, no he's not , but some of the stick that is fired at him is barmy. At times last night he was quality . All full backs have errors in them. As does he, and his running playing style sometimes encourages people to get on his back even when there's no error, as he tends to crab along the line, with the ball not exactly locked down. It looks like he's going to spill the ball at almost every contact. But that's his style, and for large parts of most games, he's solid.

Atmosphere was quality last night. This season has really kicked on in this regard. Even when we don't have numbers, the atmosphere has improved from previous seasons. Last night though, with those extra numbers and the importance of the game it was a different level.

Now we need to transfer that to Wigan.

Putting all the bickering to one side - I thought it was a game worthy of a semi-final, or even a final. Massive defensive effort, some good play with the ball in hand and mental toughness on display from both sides. Despite losing I think that Huddersfield team have shed the 'chokers' tag. I didn't see them choke; they got the wrong bounce of the ball in the last play of the game.
My concern for both teams is that game will have taken a lot out of them; what will they have left in the tank? The happiest team after that game will be Wigan. I hope one of Hudds or Leeds go on and win it.

spot n BG
it will be debated for a while, about who should have done what etc but we didn't deserve to lose that game.
our big test is thursday now, we have to be 100% focused and i think we will be.

Away from this forum of recriminations and bickering the tone has gone from

Can the Giants win the final = no

To

Can the Giants win the final = yes

If that's not a turning point of massive proportions I don't know what is

Winning the LLS IS significant and it was when the Giants won it. IMO it has been given too little profile, which the new format seems to address to a small extent. It signifies that the team that wins it has been the most consistent through the hard graft of the regular season, which deserves significant recognition. But under the current system, the competition builds from there via the 8's and then the Semis to the Grand final and the GF will always be seen as the most important achievement. Friday nights game was a cracker worthy of a final and maybe if you guys can do the business on Thursday and we can on Friday we can have another go at OT. Good Luck for your Semi-final
