What will Big Mac say?

I am lost for words so it'll be interesting to hear from him

I agree with you, i to was expecting a closer game,and there for wouldnt mind if we had lost. These are the teams we need to compete with if we want top 6/8.

But to be fair to Hudd's and their Coach they had done their homework on us and shut down Orr and Randall and stopped our forwards, but all the dropped ball didnt help so we ended up playing on the back foot al the time.

Roll on next week,just hope we can play better next week or god help us against Hull, and being on TV you can hear Stevo now if we were to play the same way.

what a crock of e

disappointing. and gald i didnt go, but it is always a bad ground for us, Hudds are not a bad side. disappointment was we played atrociously - but we have been playing well and lets not start to get down on the team, next week important, both teams have had a disappointment - we need to bounce back!

Bet the mini bus is fun on the way home.



Lets but the debacle behind us and concentrate on 'Ull FC.

god, that was awful. terrible in all areas, except kick offs where we were very good, turning over the ball several times. far too many fumbles with ball in hand - attack too flat.

got to say i thought Thaler's dodgy calls had a hand in all of their first half tries except the first one - although difficult to be 100% sure from near the other end of the pitch.

can't think of anyone that had a good game. a few early run from temata.

hudds were professional but didn't set the place alight. good luck to them - they were much the better team on the day.

Teams that play great one week and like a bunch of amateurs the next dont get to Grand Finals. Cutting out basic errors was something I thought BM was working hard on and the Wire game seemed to demonstrate the message was getting home. Alas we are reverting back to the bad habits of last season.
OK so Hudds targetted the half back (Orr ) that is always what teams do especially when he is kicking. As a professional he should not have been caught out by it when he had the charge down which cost us a try. Very poor imo.
If your gonna gift the nall to the opposition like this all the time its impossible to win even if your Leeds and Saints never mind a middle table team like us. The fact that its all our own doing always makes it difficult to accept. We can be outplayed by better or even luckier teams and accept it but when you lose because you cant do the basics is very disheartening.

Take the rose tinted specs off. Thaler was lenient to both sides today. Forward passes galore from both teams including one by Quins at least 5 yards forward, laying on by both teams not penalised at all. But the game flowed.
ATEOTD you were beaten by a fully committed Giants side today. We were strong in defence and attack. Our forwards laid a platform for the backs to play off.

Just heard on the radio, they are depressed and have just cut into a cake, but to add to the misery they have come to a standstill on the M1. Did not say what the hold up was.

No for some reason the Galpharm has become a real bogey ground for us.

Despite being similarly matched to the Giants in a number of ways over the last few seasons, we have managed to lose our last six fixtures at the Galpharm, including defeats by 64-14, 46-16 and now todays 46-6!

Ian Millward: Never, ever, ever, tip us again.

Are you sure you were at the match.

I know it is difficult when you get trounced to judge a game BUT the Giants scored every single time we got a chance. We were clinical either picking up on your mistakes, a bit of luck or some indavidual solo tries.

You played like we did against Hull but we punished you more.

You will not play as bad again as that this season and even if you do you will not get punished like that.

What time did the mini-bus get back ???

eh ? he didnt make any bleeding calls all day - you were gash end of.

Spoke to the lads on the Minibus, hope you had a safe journey home


Cracking set of lads

Well Tom (intended) as you can't seem to spell HUDDERSFIELD (there's an r in there boy) just take it on the chin, as we did at your place last season (was a long drive back after 24 nil).

Mind you, there were a few more of us down at your gaff..........

Try and google Huddersfield and come up next time, you'll find we are a friendly bunch!

Huddersfield were very professional today, very patient and took each chance when it was presented.

The past two weeks we have been not been able to control the ball at key times, and we have conceeded far too many penalties, today we changed that and reaped the benefit.

Thaler let a lot go for both sides, but was, ultimately, consistant and even for both teams.

You seemed to take my post almost as an insult? Or as some joke against your attendences, seeing how you've now commented on ours away at yours?

Nice to meet you Gahan, home safe and sound. Dropped some of at Northampton services at about 8.45, rest at Staines station at 10.00 and home at 10.30.

basically we were utter poop today and Giants were very strong up front and we got out muscled and then having won the arm wrestle they proceeded to stuff us.

Highlights of the day (few and far between) a forty twenty (we probably knocked on 2 plays later), Chris Mellings great catch in the second half and texting from the depressed mini bus to radio Leeds (we will try and send them a photo of the mini bus shaped cake)!

Heard your musings on Radio Leeds as you drove south and we went north and east. Glad you're all back safe and sound. Well done - good away turnout today thanks to you! Hope next week is a return to beating the opposuition ready to takae the Giants down the following week. Come on You QUins!

just reading posts from the Giants supporters - usual gloat can be forgiven but to say the ref didn't have some dodgy calls is just wrong. How and why should [iwe[/i be penalised when they knocked on in front of the line I just do not know. Thaler should go back to ref school!!! He's a total failure.

such as when?

I think if you read the posts properely then you would not have made your post.

Everything i have read makes points about the ref missing a whole host of things by both sides.
In fact one posts asks if he was not playing offside, forward passes, lying on or knock ons. The comment however relates to both teams. What thaler did do was be FAIR to both teams. he just did not want to blow his whistle for anything which i think was a good thing

If you're talking about the incident where Louie tried to force a goalline dropout he dragged the bloke back after the tackle had been completed with the ball grounded in front of the line - fair decision. I was however a bit bewildered by Thaler's strange addiction to signalling an extra set of tackles whenever the ball was kicked at an opponent's legs. It almost became a nervous twitch and this cost us the second try after a cagey opening (we were only 0-4 behind after around 20 minutes) paving the way for the decisive second quarter of the match in which we were totally battered, conceding four tries and barely getting out of our own half. That's what tends to happen against the best sides though - something contentious goes against you and they seize you by the throat and don't let go.

We didn't play well, there were too many unforced errors, but we were up against a very impressive side who were clinical and ruthless and showed a fair amount of flair in unpicking our defence. I'm assuming Leeds and Saints will continue their recent domination of the top two places in the table, but I reckon Huddersfield have as good a chance as anyone else of achieving a top 4 finish.
