Yeah but Codey we so soft in the opening 20 minutes,and on our own patch,it was just embarrassing.It was a semi to get us one step to OT and we were ing soft.

We've been rubbish in the opening 20 for as long as I can remember.

It was a performance of alarming contrasts. We veered from the ridiculous to the sublime back to ridiculous. It was about 65% ridiculous, 5% sublime, 25% middling and the last 5% we were playing a different sport where defence involved tickling shirt collars.

If Nathan can't get them up for a semi final with so much riding on it,I think it's possibly time for a change.

I was told that at St George when he coached there they could not score enough points,and that seems like the way it's panning out here for him now.

The players have to take responsibility for their own performance levels.

Brian McDermott is quoted as saying the players have taken the lead in training this week at their place. No doubt the likes of Sinfield & McGuire have been running the show. We don't have a personality like that in our squad. Kev Brown is no captain IMO. Robbo is no captain, the toys come out of the pram when things get tough. Brough the same. Who do we have to lift and focus the players when the going gets tough? Where is our Sinfield or O'Loughlin or Graham? We don't have one. We need one.

Luke Robinson was crap in all aspects of his play, particularly in defence for some soft tries.
As a neutral I have no axe to grind and I quite like Huddersfield and Leeds, but Jesus Huddersfield handed it to Leeds.

I am glad that Leeds progressed because I feel they will provide better opposition for the likes of Wigan, Warrington, Catalans or Saints. Huddersfield are too brittle.

once again our defence crumbles allowing the opposition to waltz through us at will.
sorry but i cant dish out much praise after that ...all i wanted was to see the players put in 80 minutes of sheer hard work, some serious graft and a bit of fight to possibly salvage our season ... instead i saw a trail of our players on the ground after flapping a polite arm at the leeds attackers flying past them .
we were far far from lookin like genuine contenders tonight ...

Well done to Leeds. the best team won.

For Giants it was a strange night. Two dreadful periods were Leeds ran riot and some fabulous stuff.

For me Robbo looked knackered. not surprising as he has played far too much gametime since lunt got injured.

I think Giants are a pretty good team. Not sure that Nb hasn't taken them as far as he can. His only gameplan is to grind down the opposition.

I can only see improvement for next season.

So get some perspective all those with the misery head on. Giants came fourth and could have done so much more. They didn't.So look forward not back.

The Giants never gave up tonight even though it wasn't going their way. With a bit more confidence in their own ability they can easily make the top two.

robbo probably had his worst game for a very long time - i wonder how much having a newborn waking through the night has had an effect!

Not miserable myself,but this forum did become a place where you were jumped on for being supposedly negative,and you had to have good words to counteract that or risk being humiliated,even if you were trying to be constructive.

His only gameplan is to grind down the opposition.

^ Totally agree,It was great to watch the tough stuff,but in the end you have to be able to play some football against the top sides.

Okay can't say I've watch every huddersfield game so I'm no expert on the team, but!!

Grix, has moments going forward where he looks decent but for me not a great fullback can't defend for toffee.

Brown is not a stand off, he's a runner but no stand off.

Eorl Crabtree, he was stopped from scoring tonight by someone pulling on his shorts. really?? The guy is huge and should be bowling defences over, but just seams to go down like a sack far too easily.

Robinson a hooker?? He can scoot from dummy half and that's it , compare his defence to that of say monaghan at wire, roby at Saints. He is not a defensive marshall end of.

The huddersfeild flanks just look paper thin on defense. There were also a few times where your backs broke through the leeds line in open space but got chased back, are they quick enough?

Brough is a quality half back, but he is out there on his own at the moment, trying to create everything.

You need your coach to settle on more than just a constant 1 year rolling deal, cause every year he disrupts the flow with his will he won't he stay antics.

For me you have some big forwards but no one to lead them and quite a few players playing in positions that they are just not suited for.

Leeds will get wiped out in the qualifying semi final so save your patronising twaddle.

Yeah, pretty much SG

I'm sure they will, but that will not bother me in the slightest. Beware shadows are not what they seam at first glance.




ps it was not meant to be patronising, but this forum did become a place where you were jumped on for being supposedly negative,and you had to have good words to counteract that or risk being humiliated,even if you were trying to be constructive.

Ok

If not patronising then it's tosh

Our forms been garbage for months. So read the first line of your post and then the rest is pointless conjecture
