Huddersfield looking to make it 7 on the bounce against cas on sky on friday.
quite a few Casfans fancy themselves for this one having narrowly beaten Catalan last week. Apparently "the only reason I think Hudds are up there is because they play safe". " i dont actually rate Huddersfield and think they have been lucky in a couple of their wins. I certainly think we should of beaten them last time." "Personally i dont think Huddersfield are that good they have just come out on top in more of their 50/50 games".

cas squad has a few ex giants in there, no doubt kenny will be trying to prove a point - lets just frustrate him!

Well there was the blip! Not much you can do when you totally dominate the first 15 minutes in every stat apart from the one that matters! Cas really wanted that and fair play to them for playing that like a cup final. Their defence and enthusiasm was absolutely top notch. Not really much to worry about for us there, barring the freaky first couple of tries we had more than enough possession and position to win, but we do need to be able to change a play when they are rushing our playmakers. They were very accurately determining who the ball was going to and closing down really well which left our attack really disjointed. That's where a half needs to look up and change the play accordingly, we are going by a play book a little too much and sides are now developing a plan for that. I can't wait for Fages to be back as he will add the experience our halves are currently missing.

Every top team will have the odd blip throughout the year. Cas were running red hot tonight and seemed to want it more.

Interesting to see the stats feel like Will Pryce missed more tackles than he made

Pryce has got a long way to go before he is anything like the finished article. He needs to understand that he doesn't have to beat 5 men and score everytime he gets the ball, there were a couple of times last night when he had beaten a couple and if he had then got rid of the ball we could have been in a great position, but he just kept stepping and inevitably got tackled. As you say his defence is very ordinary atm, not too sure why the NRL are so interested to be honest, as inability to defend means you will never get a game over there.

He is still a teenager, his defence will improve with experience, and coaching.

The stats tell a very interesting story. Couldn’t make this one as had tickets to a gig- but listened to the first half on the way and we sounded awful bad the first 5 minutes.
Pryce missed 9 tackles. We missed 30 altogether which is poor for us. Our most telling stats were in our pack- Our forwards were shocking. Wilson 3 metres per carry, looks like he only played 16 minutes. greenwood 5, Seb 6, only Yates (just) and Lawrence made over 100 metres. In fact it just goes to show how clueless people are as on the Facebook group someone was moaning about Lawrence who on paper was by far and away our best forward last night making 126 metres, 9 metres a carry, 2nd highest tackler with 31, no misses no errors or penalties- but apparently he’s crap
When your halves are making more metres and than most of your forwards there’s something not right. If that was the actual game plan on that small pitch with our pack it was a s**t one! And clearly it didn’t work.
