Biggest difference for me is we go with 2 in the tackle as opposed to 3 earlier in the season.

We aint winning the ruck anymore

Decision making isn't quite right, I think Brough was trying too hard really but yeah, we lacked someone to take the game on and to direct the team.

Also early in the season our attack came from deep behind the advantage line, now we are playing it much flatter and flat attacks don't work any more.

Saints were coming from deep last night, Wire and Wigan attack from deep. We've started attacking flat.

That's what I was inferring. If Eorl, Griff, etc were at 3rd receiver, they would [should!] be standing further back giving them time to catch the ball when running at speed.

To be fair, for the opening part of the game, Huddersfield were really pinned in their own half. So there was little oppertunity to attack. When you did get down field, we moved forward in 1 line, which closed the distance between defense and attack, meaning from flat passes Huddersfield stuggled to get up any head of steam and so there was little chance to spin in the tackle and get any 2nd phase play.

Not to mention daft things like rolling the ball over your back on the Saints line after we where down to 12 men.

I still don't get why Clough got binned for decent, yet 30 seconds later huddersfield get marched back 10 meters. Surely even the ref can see the inconsistency in that.

rubbish again lastnight

saints were there for the taking but giants cant even beat them with 10 players out

couldnt win the forward battle, god knows what score it would of been if puletua was playing! griffin has gone backwards but that will be to do with signing for leeds.

attack is poor against the top teams.... we cant score!! had loads of chances lastnight to win the game.
missing brett hodgson...grix comes into the line and the play just balls up or he gets tackled.
then we resorted to poor kicks.

how many line breaks did we make lastnight???? 1? brough's then he got injured!
this is why chan has been signed because we dont have anyone who can break the line!

all these long term contracts makes you wonder is they can be motivated, after all they are going to get paid for the next 4 season, 5 in some cases.

looks like teams have figured out how to beat us now... giants dont have a plan b

can see us finishing 6th at this rate with catalans and leeds above us in the table.

Now now, don't start talking silly. Leeds won't make the top 5. I'm sure you will win your last 3 games. Alot of our fans went OTT last week after a close loss to wigan. You were not that far off the pace!

If you want an example of who our most depressed fan was feeling before the game here is a taster.

leeds are hitting form at the right time and have us to play the last game of the season which will prob be for 5th spot.

not that far off the pace?!! nope but you had 10 players missing so bound to be not far off!

built the pressure lastnight but couldnt finish it off, we either knocked on or put a weak kick in...like i say no plan B. then you go up the other end and have a leon pryce who can break a line...... wish we had him

it was the refs fault

To be honest I shouldn't have gone as I felt awful. We dropped you off then I dropped the Mrs and Daughter off at home then went straight to hospital where I spent the night. Back home now feeling like I'm on another planet after being pumped with antibiotics and cocodamol

I thought we were poor, we never looked like winning that game at all. OK, Price's "try" was bad luck, clearly a defender loitering in the line for that one. But to allow a prop to go 40 meters unopposed to score under the sticks is scandalous.

Attack was a disgrace....no organisation or sense of direction at all.All in all, very poor imo.

I am disspointed , but not down hearted.
Disappointed with the result, and with also with the opportunity to beat saints on their own patch, and disappointed because the reason we did nor win was our own performance , rather than a great one by the opposition.
How many forward passes? How many more dropped balls than our oppenents who are playing in the same weather conditions as us? And how many times have I thought those 2 questions this past 3 months?
But - our best performance for weeks, and hey look at how our expectations have changed this sesaon. We are a good team - not great yet- but we have the play offs ahead of us, and on our day we can beat anyone...and look at the nationality, age profile and talent of our team most which we have secured for the next rew years too. Its a great time being a giants fan. And an even better future.

I am glad i dont live in the same world as some of the posters on here,i think i would have topped me self by now FFS stop talking shizzer, so many negative nigels.
