Huddersfield Giants 2013 over achievers Huddersfield Giants 2014 under achievers ??????????:disney/00004.gif

Right at the begining of the season i said that GRIX needed to improve his tackling yet it is Nathan Brown who plays ourt two weakest defenders together.

When Grix and Leroy are together it is a very weak defensive side.

No wonder Jerry does not know what to do, come in and help or stay out wide and let the centre run through our defence.

This has been a problem for a while but today we saw how bad it can be.

What is NB doing though. I see no sign that NB did anything to change it today until it was too late.

At half time he should have looked at rearranging the defending positions or taking one of Leroy or Grix off and putting Lawrence in instead.

NB did not respond quickly enough to a glaring problem.

Unless there are changes for next week i may not attend.

He is a world class coach in some people's eyes, I myself are still waiting for some sort of proof of this.

Oh dear -- top 4 ??

Its now looked pretty flat 3 on the trot and Ive once more got a feeling I wont need the can of Duraglit

To be serious --management --coach--et al ought to to take a long look in the mirror --and a long look at the match video

It was an insult to the fans allegiance ! and their wallets

Been to Catalan--Magic weekend (without much magic ) and Semi on the horizon but it appears that Coach (new job confirmed) and players (long contracts confirmed) are in seventh heaven and a clear comfort zone

I suspect " there are positives we can take from these results" and "we`ll work on putting em right next week " being quoted yet again any time soon !

No fire / no enthusiasm/ no will to kill the opposition off !

Oh -we`re in the lead now again --no probs!!

All told --a bloody disgrace !! Some of the decisions taken on breaks made Edens previously criticised errors look negligible !

We player players out of their positions and fans sing praises when winning, but some of these players have been poor for years.
For some reason give out long contracts, but get ready for changes (senior players out?!)

the Edge defence is a huge (like the gaps it leaves) problem and needs sorting, A decent, not over creative Salford side have just basically walked through our defence for 38 points - that is not acceptable for where we are these days and i can see a massive thumping not too far away - For goodness sake Nathan, Baloo, Jammer, whoever - please get this sorted out as any coach , good or bad can see our weaknesses and are exploiting them for fun at the moment.

Think the players are to blame aswell! Cudjoe is playing not just for a giants win but he also got to show McNamara that he deserves his place in the England squad. He's playing very poor, doesn't look interested and that's not down to NB that's down to him. Other players need to take a long hard look in the mirror aswell. Where's that fire in there bellys they had at the start of the season. Gone around the same time that Lunt went. Something's not right in the giants camp!

Here we go with the something's not right comments. I should imagine that's true when they get the comments I've seen from some on twitter etc- it appears that fans critise, supporters support - I know which I'd rather be.
A pathetic 2 thousand giants "supporters" turn up half an hour down the road -and the criticism is the players aren't making the effort. icon_lol.gif icon_lol.gif

Sorry Jools

If having made the trip you and others are happy with that and other recent displays --then fair do`s to you

Personally whatever I contest I`m a poor loser ! - and a bit more personal pride wouldnt go amiss at the moment
If its gonna be like that -let those who wanna go - go now and lets have a taster of what we can do without them for next season and then hit the ground running rather than more experimentation at the beginning yet again|!
On camera the smiles on some faces at the end wouldn`t have been on mine frankly

Granted Catalans and Wigan were always gonna be a real tussle -but with those on show (and no disrespect to the Reds who wanted it more )we should have made more of a showing !

No offence meant !
ps -dont know about the comments -dont tweet! icon_wink.gif

in fairness i spend all my games saying how boughy should be moved to the second row and how crabbers would make a great winger.

I always thought luke g would make a fantastic loose forward

TRUTH of this thread is its not us moving and playing players so far out of position

worse still i didnt send lunt to LEEDS and bring in Moore, lets face it which team got the nest out of that one

nice one NB world class ideas here

Nathan Brown wasn't falling off the tackles yesterday afternoon though. Players being 'out of position' has nothing to do with that. This thread comes across as a bit of a witch-hunt TBH.

coach has to take some of the blame, but it isnt him who is missing basic tackles, yes he picks the team but surely its down to the players to defend at an acceptable standard, looked to me like we thought all we had to do was turn up to win.

nathan brown has no plan B.... thats why changes werent made at half time!

I don't think anybody is giving credit to the way salford played yesterday-its a shame patten is retiring he was brilliant. Going by the displays we saw yesterday I think Salford would have given any side a run for their money yesterday bar Wigan. Leeds, saints, even Warrington could have been undone by them. There ball movement was second only to wigwams yesterday IMO.
Gutted we lost but hey. We were never going to win the hubcap and losing that game hasn't lost us a grand final or CC appearance.

we know saldford can score tries...and entertaining...main man is patten, buy hey ho we just let him play instead of closing him down?!?!

we scored 34 points...enough to win any game, our defence and attitude was garbage
