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.

we could have lost to bradford,wakefield etc.............. ........................... .......................










oops

It wasn't for dissent, it was for kicking the ball away afterwards. The ref was consistent with dissent in that both teams were awarded a penalty.

This is a problem now IMO,Grixy is excellent on kick returns and is a good broken field runner,but as a FB in SL it's obvious you have got to be able to join the line as a second 5/8th or else overlaps aren't going to be be created.This is what Bodgy did last year,arcing around to the outside of the halves,but then most importantly when he got the ball he had the confidence to throw the flat pass to the outside backs.Grixy tends to step back inside when he does move into '2nd 5/8th',takes the tackle and they have to set up again.

Hope this is summat they can fix up.

Hodgson plays as an extra half back and took pressure off the other halves as he offered threat with ball in hand and with his kicking game. However i would say he is quite unique among full backs and i cannot think of another similar player in super league. Grix IMO is more than competant as a full back and offers more than the majority of players in his position.

I fully agree with this- hodgy is unique, grixy has proved more than competent at fb, one of the players said last year when we had brough, robbo, brown and hodgy sometimes they had too many trying to make playmaking decisions and not enough ready to run onto the ball. The club (not Ken!) thought that keeping hodgson may be a gamble injury wise, it turns out that wasn't the case, hey oh, but I don't think patten would have done a better job than grixy.

Grix is our only player who constantly and consistently backs up.

It is invariably him who takes the Fuey pass. It is him who chases downfield following a [rare] break [his try v HKR].

He throws fewer 'strange' passes than BH!

My player of the season so far.
