I don't think we outnumbered you but we had a damn good turn out. I am not going to mention home crowds of 3000 as we have been there. By the way why dont Crusaders have a sponsor? Not a dig just curious.

Anyways oh the joys of being a Huddersfield fan from heros to zero's well nearly!. Today was shocking. After a 2 hour plus journey in the heat and I did think about turning back a couple of times (maybe I should have) to witness that dross was very dissapointing.

So the win at Headingley has got us exactly nowhere because we lost to the team on the bottom of the table. Fair point the coach was delayed but still we were second best all day. I think following earlier comments that Simpson had one of his best games for us today - I have thought in previous weeks why have we wasted a quote spot on this bloke but to be fair he had a go today - maybe he is a slow starter dunno.

I dont think last Friday took too much out of them as lets be fair they have had nearly a week to recover so this leaves me thinking goodness only knows what we'll get served up on Tuesday night - a win of any kind will be welcome after todays dross.

I'd have them all in for an inquest tommorow. Top of the league we're having a laugh!

Quote: Corkshire Giant "What a bl**dy shame, you turn out in great numbers and then the lads don't turn up! Let's hope for a better showing in second half!'"


The number of times this happens, we build up a good away following, then shoot ourselves in the foot with a display like that. A team of grannies could have done better.
Wait for a poor crowd Tuesday as we have some very fickle fans.
I did not applaud the team off today, but I did applaud the Crusaders. But I will be there on Tuesday as per usual.

awful just awful, but credit where its due crusaders took advantage and blew us away today! it baffles me how we seem to capitulate against the 'lesser teams' especially at easter time. i could see from the reactions from the players towards me at the end they knew they had let the club down ! . must mention the number of fans too ...easily over half the crowd from my view why were let down again !

They knew they'd stuffed up and they were clearly disappointed in themselves.

In terms of potential they weren't even at 20% today. Absolutely shocking.

Quote: Danril "That's not all the fans, is it. I said we had ~1,500 there and I'd say that's a pretty good estimate.

As for delusional, offer that advice to your coach.'"


One win doesn't turn around what dross we've been served up so far but clearly the plan from Iestyn for today worked, so if a convincing win over the top of the table team makes him delusional then I hope that he goes stark raving mad by Monday.

on a peparational note, why did the team coach leave so late to give us no pre match time?you have to expect delays on a good friday morning?.. game day performances arent just on the field, you need a whole team effort plus plenty of relaxation/togertherness for the players to get psyched up and in the right frame of mind

its happened, lets learn from it and caryy on

Quote: goodie "imo it is a bit harsh to single simpson out after that performance, he wasnt the one at fault for any of the trys imo, he wasnt outstanding but who was, i for one didnt think he was that bad, jerry and bruno and the 2 half backs were awful, not to mention the pack, did eorl play today wouldnt have noticed, lets give credit to the crusaders they were much more clinical than us today, but we dont become a bad team overnite, just like we wernt champions last week, for me we lost because our mental attitude wasnt right, very similar to the cas game, we thought all we had to do was turn up.'"


I thought Eorl was as good if not better than most today.

good quote i heard from a fartowner after the game was that we weren't just 2nd best today we were 3rd best thats how poor we were.
today there was just a complete lack of anything,apart from support which was very good again.
we lacked cohesion
we lacked any sort of agression in attack and defence.
we lacked any go forward.
we lacked enthusiasm.
we lacked energy.
we lacked any kind of line speed in defence.
we were lacking in the basic rugby league skills,such as passing,tackling,catching and running.
we seemed to lack a game plan, no dummy runners,no angles,no options for the man with ball.
but most disappointing for me was that we lacked effort, effort is one thing you can accept after a defeat but today that was sadly lacking too.
crusaders did everything right,they ran hard,ran angles,tackled,passed and created things, i say created,the first 4 tries were simple basic RL,pass the ball 2 men down and wait for a massive gap to appear,of which the gaps were colossal on our flanks.nothing special we beaten by a more hungrier team who just did the basics right.
very disappointed but lets not get silly,we are joint top with the chance to go back clear on tuesday.
as for who played well, well none of them endeared themselves today,i dont think all 17 men can play so badly in one game again so hopefully we've got it out of our system now.

simpson. i think he did alright today but still cant say i've been very impressed with him as yet, but to say get rid after 6 games is a bit harsh,you have to give these players time to get used to a whole new way of life etc.
if he is still not performing by the end of the year im sure nathan will weigh up his options but he took some unwarranted abuse from some fans today which was very harsh!

eorl was good my god i was watching a differnt game , the forwards were woeful in my opinion which in turn made the backs worse, the only forwards who looked lively were kirmond and fuey to me, griff had a go late on , but to me we got beat in the pack and that why crusaders won easily, as was the case at cas,our best 2 defenders didnt play in lod and fergie and it was pretty obvious id say.

If Simpson wasn't an overseas import then he would not be anywhere near the first team, he offers absolutely nothing.

Absolutely spot on. We looked to have no game plan or at least adapt the one we had: Danny Brough taking ball in on 5th tackle; running it on the last from 40 yards out on numerous occasions; no attempt at defending bombs on a couple of occasions; unable to cope with Cru's offloads.

From behind the sticks, it looked really, really slow when we had the ball and sometimes we looked clueless. Faalongo doesn't look fit at all - anyone else concerned about him? I think there's something more going on there.

A truly, truly disappointing afternoon.
