Quote: Danril "Steve, my view is that they’re better than they’re putting out there and, at times, they seem to stop playing. The defensive line stays still rather than push up and we just seem to stop trying.
This isn’t new and is a characteristic that isn’t unique to a particular coaches reign. The players look like they don’t care as much as the opposition.
We are in a paradoxical situation. The ref gave us nothing but then the ref shouldn’t have to. The second penalty on the 5th and last in the second half - what was it for? I have issues with what I perceive as a lack of even handedness by the referee but it pales into comparison with the lack of leadership, commitment and effort by our players.
Our heads drop like someone cutting the string on pinnochio’s head. No pride, no professionalism and the one or two that actually try deserve better.
Woolford’s comments really worry me because the issues he says are hard to fix are precisely the ones he is paid to address.
Worrying but there is time. I’ll be going to work tomorrow in a bad mood. Not good times to be from Huddersfield.'"
That sums it up nicely.
I always look at the defensive line speed as a sign of intent.
Ours stutters from decent to two steps forward two sideways and two back - a bit like waltzing (not that I know owt about dancing).
I thought Oliver Russell showed the best line speed for us yesterday which for his size says it all.
A lot of hard looks in the mirror required I feel otherwise a long, hard season ultimately ending in relegation.
At the moment it looks like it's between us, Leeds and Wigan!
Whoda thought it.
