Got to agree with everything thats already been said. Im not disputing that yesterday HKR were by far the better team and fully deserved to win the game and the scoreline did flatter us as well, It was probably the worst display of refereeing I can remember seeing in 60 years of watching Rugby League, unfortunately it is now a regular occurrence for the refs to give these outrageous decisions and its making the game a very poor spectacle for those of us who have to watch week in week out.

Enjoyed reading both reflective responses. I feel particularly disappointed with the lack of a quality hooker, I know they are not easy to find. There seems to be a big gap in recruitment between the top few teams and others.

It's nice to see more posters on here! I have been talking about our lack of speed in the spine, and Watson's inability to strengthen the areas we are weak in since at least the middle of last season, but nice to see that i am not the only one who thinks this. If we can all see this, how bad is a coach who clearly can't? He has had lots of opportunity to get better spine players since Levi sadly departed to Australia but has signed only journeymen.

I agree about Connor creating something out of nothing, and if you put him in a side that already has plenty of pace, he would look very good. In our side , he was a massive waste of money as he lacks what we so desperately need, pace. He is one of the slowest spine players off the mark in the league and certainly wont get better in that regard with age, no matter how much weight he loses. Maybe, that signing wasn't totally down to Watson, because Connor clearly has ties here, but a better coach would have put his foot down and said that's not the player we want to spend big money on.

As i have stated previously i honestly cannot think of a less exciting Huddersfield team to watch, even in the bad old days there was at least a Brandon Costin, Brad Drew or Stanley Gene to light up a game with some spark. This team has absolutely nothing in the middle of the park, Lolohea has clearly gone backwards, Russell has never been anything other than championship standard and when pressure is applied to him he runs around like a headless chicken, or simply tips the ball on to someone in a worse position that him. Clunes is fine, but nothing special and our Hookers are utterly dire at making yards and attacking the line.

I honestly think Ken persists with Watson because this is his last hurrah, he has tried and failed to get a team to win something for the longest time, and i think the big backing of Watson was probably his last spin of the wheel and he can't quite let go of it yet. He will soon though, as i have said previously when it's clear we wont make the playoffs and are out of the cup he will have to wake up and smell the coffee and finally sack him. Sorry Ian, you were a one trick pony at Saford and i'm far from convinced Salford's playstyle was down to you as you have brought absolutely none of it with you here and they continue playing a great style of Rugby no matter who is coaching them,

I'm just very angry & frustrated at our lack of going forward as a club and continuing to sign utter muppets.

So I take it back.'"


Accepted…very sporting of you. I think you’re being a bit hard on your team, it’s still early days. You will make the six imo.
Great result today by the way k020.gif

The result was as i predicted, we are good at punishing the teams below us (Hull, Cas, London) but terrible against anyone else. We will probably win our next games against London and Hull again, but we are still a poor side. We will not make the six, i put us ninth, our spine is awful.

Didn't get to the game but also not too surprised as Hull are awful. How did Tui play? I think he's a better option than Russell. Also hope Greenwood can stay fit and run his weight. I'd like to see the young Aussie hooker tried soon.
