Lawrence, Symonds and poss another key player injured for tomorrow night. Good test of the squad early doors.

Another?!

Is this still a conditioning issue?
Are we going to replace Walsh or not?

I really don't get the mega defensive attitude of certain Giants fans when it comes to Cudjoe. If only he had the same attitude towards tackling ......lol
McG obviously doesn't have faith in him, so comes away from his wing when defending.
IMHO RS has a real job on his hands to work magic with him and teach him how to tackle, that none of your previous coaches could.
Here's hoping for Giants sake though.

How is having a 95% tackle rate not being able to tackle


I don't get this constant reference to him not being able to tackle- his success rate states otherwise.
I'm not saying he doesn't make mistakes- he does, many, just like brough does, just like jerry does but there's this unwritten rule it seems that you can only blame certain players but not others.

Mcgilvary doesn't have faith in a player who has a much better success rate than himself?


Perhaps he doesn't but hes misguided!

I've explained how I see it. In fact I can predict it before it happens. But then I only watch him every week....

cudjoe doesn't play tomorrow either by all accounts

Bugger!
So Darnell may well have to play FB with Gaskell at centre, otherwise we will have to draft Sam wood as a late edition into squad.

I get the fact that you dont agree with me - and quite a few of your own fans when I've spoken to the more

If you look back through the thread. I was only agreeing with one of your own on Cudjoe's defensive shortcomings.

I,ve explained how I see it too. your right edge is always vulnerable, mostly due to your Captain's suspect tackling technique.
Tell you what - we'll agree to disagree and I just hope RS hasn't managed to improve his defence when you play us.

All the best for the rest of the season.

another knee knock



maybe mcintosh to full back and gaskell centre or other way round

You were sent 250 at £15 they sold out, - the £21 ones haven't and you were given 250 of those too.

At a HGSA meeting last year, Jerry and Bruno explained in quite good detail how our defensive structure is set up and how it seems that it's just a case of the centre/wing getting caught out and misreading when it could be an error 2 or 3 tackles earlier by a player in the middle of the park which causes issues further on, i can't really explain it but those who were there got a good understanding of how it's like a machine and if one cog misses it causes problems, he was quite animated after reading that certain tries were 'his fault' and to be fair explained it very well at the time.

All allocated tickets sold, over 700 according to Wakefield Chairman. Should be a good game....
