If we went down there would never be a chance of coming back up.

Kelly would be gone and any decent youngsters would be snapped up like they were before going to Leeds Wire and Bradford

Our best option is try ride it out a few more years and then the youngsters will be physically ready for super league week in week out that’s when we’ll be able to try push for top 5

you have been wanting us to be relegated for years... great fan

I'm not sure what your expectations are but there have been 4 winners of the grand final so that puts us in with the majority of the comp who must be serving up dross. We punched above our weight in the brown era and success goes in cycles, we are currently in a relegation fight, among 4 other teams of which, 3 or below us because we never give up, yeah I'd rather not see us in these situations but it's ability and not lack of effort and we could easily give up a la hullfc or catalan, but we don't which is testament to the character of the team.

agreed!

i dont want to see us relegated.

Well they are obviously a lot higher than yours, Wasn't 1962 the last time we won a main Trophy,( I was there ) Lets hope the Cycle speeds up a bit. Last time we got relegated ( was it the last time ) we went all season unbeaten , I think we would win that league with ease because i don't think Mr Davy would do any different than that time .

Anyway i'm obviously in a minority of one, but something needs to change and has done for a lot of years now, My money is on nothing changing at all , same old close season of promises and hope followed by the usual great start and the fight to get clear of the bottom. and to expect something better than that year after year is unrealistic ? .

You've been watching us 30 years yet you were at the 1962 final??? i smell bullpoo

Seems Im looking at it a different way to others on here
Yes Our pack is much lighter than most
Yes Woolford is HAVING to play the youngsters who are smaller and lighter
maybe because of injuries or perhaps he thinks they are more up for the challenge We know not exactly
But more influential on the result because of the above to me is this:-

They made 20/30 metres at many play the balls
Why -because big strong running forwards got up steam because our defensive line was the correct distance back

We made little more than 5/10 metres at our plays
Why -- because by the time our lighter younger players got the ball the opposing defence were virtually ON THEM as theyd only been 6/7 metres back at the time the tackled man played the ball Easy peasy

Not ref baiting but thats fact Dont think they were penalised for being in front of the ref all the game
In my view thats more a factor
Even when our biggest men drove in hard the tacklers were virtually in the receivers boots and he hadnt got a prayer

Later in the game after it had gone away from us because of the above they were knackered Someone on here said we never looked like winning
I believe 5 more mins and we would have and despite the above nearly took it (or at least to golden point situation )

But lets face it watching regularly and as a neutral the standard of refereeing and the number of abnomalies in their decisions is totally frustrating and in my view on many occasions really influential on the match result as in this case .

I started to watch Huddersfield when i moved here 30 year ago, i had been watching the game 30+ years before that, just not Huddersfield. For your info i was at Odsell in 62 and at Wembley the week before, on both occasions supporting Wakefield. Maybe you need to stop smelling Bullpoo.
