Anyone but Batley next year please.

Lol
Credit to them, as always

Hope next season they get a Salford or Cas to test their arm against

They looked very up for it we looked like we weren't. We made a few errors alylyhough not shocking. noone had a really terrible game but im disappointed with the way we looked as a team today.

as expected a tough game.

got the result and to be honest was always confident of winning throughout.

bring on the draw!!!

and got the batley +32 and crusaders +62 on the handicaps... good day!

Need to turn up as if we are playing Wigan or Leeds week in week out regardless of opposition. That attitude today was shocking and the better team lost, too many leaving it to someone else to do. Forwards bar Ta'ai were non existent and Grix cannot play standoff.

In the hat Monday but as to wether we deserve it is debatable, we got beat by Bradford, Salford and nearly Batley because of the attitude, add to this not sticking 70-80 past Cas and allowing them to come back into game ala Hull KR and it needs to change and change fast. Wigan or Wire would have hit 40+ today and that's still the difference between us and the top teams.

2067 the attendance


agree with flyingprop grix again proved hes not stand off! murphy got through a whole heap of work at full back and was very solid clearing up plenty of ball.

taai went ok too

dawson didnt have the best of games

hope wardle injury isnt too bad, went off early

thought it was a great game and the dogs were brilliant from 1-17 your m.o.m was Murphy by a mile. hope we get an easier draw next year.

Wonder who gave you that idea lol

Bit touch and go as FC ran riot towards the end but kept within the handicap so happy days.

Also agree regarding Grix, Murphy and Dawson.

Why Dawson was in before George is beyond me. He had a shocking game.

With Grix and what appeared to be a half-interested Brough in the halves it was always going to be difficult to create opportunities for our three quarters.

That much of our pack were out-run, out-tackled and out-enthused by Batley's forwards was very disappointing, as was the fact that we had to rely on our defence to win the game rather than an attack that has scored 150 points in three SL matches. They also moved the ball better than us. All credit to Batley, they played very well, but from a Huddersfield POV that we were outplayed and out-enthused is a concern. And this isn't the first time this season by a less-fancied club.

Thaler's decisions, for and against, baffled at times - especially his leniency with regards to high shots.

We're in the draw and Ta'ai is looking fitter. Aside from that, an uninspiring day!

Can't disagree with what's been said, thought Murphy was our MOTM, Lunt played OK as did Ta'ai , Grix had one of his worst games for a while.

Losing Wardle didn't help Dawson, but thought he looked lightweight and was absent for the cut out pass from Brough, by a good 10 yards.

Batley were excellent and a credit to the Championship for their performance.

Well worth a £5 to go watch if you're a Giants STH.

It would be great to see a few of you up at the Mount when you don't have a game. As Birkygiant says, you'll struggle to find better entertainment for a £5.

hull fc one was a close call!!

It took Thaler until the second half to start penalising high shots and slowing down the play the ball. If he had done that earlier it would have been a more open game.

Credit to Batley though the played well. I was particularly impressed with their two hookers and the ginger haired prop.

thaler was awful today, didnt give us a thing and batley slowed the game down in the ruck

dont like thaler
