Losing Grix meant three players had to change position so it was always going to be disruptive.

We blew them away in the 1st half ..and whether it was a case of taking the foot off the gas or just things not coming off ....we were never in danger of losing the game and i think it was a bit of a case of job done reserve some energy.

Jerry was my MOM, he's a real handful when he's in that mood for any defence, surprised to see Connor on the wing but thought he handled it very well, another try fro him too as well, his confidence must be sky high at the moment and he is given Baloo no reason's whatsoever for dropping him.

Thought Mullally and Crabtree were the pick of our forwards yesterday, Mullally continues to impress me every game and like Connor has given the coaches no reason's for dropping him right now.

Anyway 2 points, another win and only 4 points off the top now !!

jerry, stand out man of the match. and another impressive display from mullally and conner. anderson said he had to have words with conner at ht for mouthing off at the ref probs put that down to age, second half a little disapointing but all in all a good day out for the giants, and good turnout from our lot aswell even if a little quiet.

PA said he told Connor about 'chelping' at the ref and said if he didn't stop it he'd take him off an play with 12 men! Not sure if that was tongue in cheek or not. I have noticed before he does have a go at the ref so needs to cut it out quick.

PA also said the first half was almost faultless - 2 error spoiling it. However, he did say he was 'disappointed' with the second half likening the game as a whole to 'getting your chinese and finding the rice is missing'.

Without getting carried away in any sense, in the last 3 games we have seen some promising signs. In our defensive work and commitment, which has been letting us down a lot this season, we've seen gradual improvement - second half against Bradford only 2 tries conceded, one in the first minute and one at the end with the game won, only 16 points conceded against Catalans when we'd conceded over 20 for I don't know how many games, and again less then 20 against Wakey, all conceded with the game all but won.

We've had some key players return and make a real difference when the have - Murphy and Lunt - and the youngsters, in particular, Leeming and Connor, have taken their chances well and done enough to be creating the all important competiton for places.

If we can build on this in the next 4 games we can take some real momentum into the play-offs.

the first half we had 90% completion rate, win most games with that percentage.

agree about the defence looking abit better now which is needed.

paul anderson said about the win it was like ordering a chinese takeaway and the rice not turning up

kaufusi and broughton got knocks in training so they missed out.

Given the disruption it's perhaps not too much surprise we faded second half

We ended up the penalty count with Giants 10 Wakey 5, no wonder we faded second half

Will we ever learn

to be fair a lot of those were given during child's pedantic spell midway through the 2nd half.
our discipline was pretty good, certainly no worse than wakefield.

Wakey got away with what we were penalised for on numerous occasions. We certainly did not appear to be ill-disciplined during this match - even though the statistics say differently.

On a different topic, my daughter was not allowed to take in an opened bottle of water. If it had been unopened she could have. She was even allowed to empty the bottle and refill it inside. The security officer said that this was due to the government upgrading the terrorist threat to include all sports stadia. [The liquid could have been an explosive – even though she drank some to show it wasn’t!]

She wasn't the only one caught by this ruling.

I'm making further enquiries.

I agree it was like Child was trying to level things out the one where Lawrence got pinged was no different to what Wakey were doing all game they made a lot of their yards at this time rarely through play and the penalties put them on the front foot but we were comfortable and did what Leeds and Wigan couldn't !!

Apparently our club have not heard about this so I'm lodging a complaint with Wakefield.

A young girl with one of our mates (maybe 8 i can't remember) was refused entry by the 'bouncers with jackets on' for having a can of coke....they made her stand with her back to the turnstile wall and drink it before they let her in, poor lass couldn't understand what she did wrong, reading the wakey board a few weeks back it seemed some of their own fans had the same issue and the club responded by saying something along the lines of they hadn't instructed the 'stewards' to do this !!.
