Quote: jools "I'm not sure we deserved the two points- awful line speed, lost the ruck time and again, awful fullback play, awful kicking game, awful ball handling.'"


Sigh...

We deserved the 2 points cos we scored more points than Catalans. We were less poor than them in the end.

And as for awful full-back play, c'mon, you don't really believe that do you? By recent standards, yes, he was mediocre in a poor team performance but he wasn't awful.

I do wonder why you carry on supporting this team. All you do is spout your vitriol when things aren't going great. It does get boring.

Vitriol? Lol. Ok should I say we were brilliant- blew them away. Great rugby.....
but none of that is true.... I say it like I see it. I don't pretend we are great when we aren't.
We played a lot better against Cas but didn't get the points.

"[color=#800000]Huddersfield[/color] -[color=#FF8000]The Birthplace of Rugby League[/color]" [color=#FF8000]They couldnt beat us[/color] -[color=#800000]so they joined[/color] !:



then you and mr E are at the least going to go away happy
Questioning why Jools is still supporting the team ? -its whats she and some others do

But quite honestly I also would rather see some evidence that we`r trying to move to a "good pereformance"that brings "a good two points" NO?

Frankly -as at many "away"games (and home) -its an insult to the supporters to turn on performanceslike that
and somewill see it as it israther than taking the bird table crumbs
To a neutral and even cats/Hudds supporters -it was dire and performances generally are
There was a glimmer of effort and enthusiasm against Leeds and Cas but then we get this as a setback once more

A bad match /two poor teams butin the last 10 mins our performance was slightly less worse than theirs Thats it Full stop !
Dropped balls / wrong options / poor passing / no passing / kick when should be running it
If some want to play ostriches -then be my guest But at the moment performances like that wont achieve what we require
The forthcoming games against those just above as winnable 4 pointers but hey in all honesty do you eternal optimists really think that the samples we`re producing will get us there ?
My good night A lot are living with HOPE and theresnot much on the horizon
I arent party to the inside dealingsat the club but whilst accepting that injuries have wrecked the continuity of a team with no depth to cover them I then look at who have gone -whatever the reasons
In my view weve released /lost / whatever ? players who were on show at Magic who could make a squad to perform better than we are doing and that IS worrying (in my opinion I stress)
So where do we go from here I hope someone knows and does something about it before it IS unrecoverable
And dont worry bout Jools and me and others we WILL still be down there at Dewsbury /Bradford etc but telling it AS IT IS!

Asfor refs - thats chapter 2
I even have a Hudds supporter who tells me to shut up at every game for "blaming the ref"cause we are losing
As Ive told him I arent - Im just saying how bad they are and also giving poor performances
Evidence is on camera but ignored
This weekend in 6 games the number of 8 yds that should be 10 and foward passes that go "unnoticed "-or ignored got beyond counting
Thats another thing that (IMO) wants addressing and fast
If not the weekends wont be MAGIC anymore
Poor show all round except for the winners Thank goodness we were but please somebody get a grip of our situation because it aint good.

HUDDERSFIELD - THE BIRTHPLACE OF RUGBY LEAGUE:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_43854.jpg



what a dire game that was to watch!!

but we got the two points in the end which is what matters, was an important win too as it keeps out super 8's hopes alive.

certainly looked lacklustre and disjointed did the attack but that can be understandable with a new half back pairing again and ridyard only been at the club a week.

enjoyed the day out but winning certainly helps!

Quote: yorkieboy52 "Good job Thaler was on the ball today, not only with reversing the refs bad calls on the two no tries, but also with the call for a Catalan goal line drop out, and then over ruling a head and feed scrum when the ball clearly came off a Cats player and hit Sam Rapira'"


yes campbell did his best to get catalans the win

now if that game wasnt on tv those 'tries' he would have awarded icon_evil.gif

Yep, he played a blinder and yes he is 100% dependable
But he is not a centre, his defence was excellent (against a poor attack let's be honest) but his own attack wasn't great either

As I say, Murphy is almost 100% dependable but he won't ever win us a game & if Ridyard performs well on Brough return there's no place in the side for Murphy

Gaskel into the 4 spot he should be in and Darnell on the wing

Well you didn`t go for the weekend did you. We had an enjoyable weekend passing the time talking to various club supporters, as well as taking in 4 full games over the weekend. I will be sorry to see the Weekend move personaly. If it moved back to Manchester I would only go on the day Huddersfield were playing as I woudn`t bother stopping in Manchester for a weekend.

Can`t believe what some supporters are saying, example :- boring / poor game. I have a totally different view. It was one of the closest games apart from Wigan v Warrington. It was a very good defensive display from both sides, and when the scores are so close the team can`t take the expansive option for fear of mistakes. People should be able to appreciate good defence as well as length of the field try`s.

The length of field tries isn't the issue- the lack of good linespeed was. Our game was played at a pedestrian pace compared to all the other games that weekend. We looked sluggish- and we'd just had a week off! Yes partly that was down to the way the ruck was policed (badly) but we weren't fighting to get up,or moving up quickly in defence. Against a side willing to ptb quickly we would have been crucified.

So you failed to notice the times we visibly upped our tempo in attack, forcing quick PTB and getting good profit from it?

It was a poor game yes, but that's down to both teams failing to complete sets and a very poor referee slowing both sides to lay on and lurk offside all game

Be critical by all means but get the criticism right
