But we had enough chances to win this game comfortably and did'nt take them. Poor last tackle options and the usual mistakes....dropped ball, Knock on.
If we had, it would not have mattered what tactics hudds used.

If my Auntie had a cock and balls she would be my unkle. Hudds adapted a game plan to get the win by the sounds of it. We adopted the same game plan and made the same errors we have made for the last 2 years. That is the issue.

Same story different week, no signs of these issues being cured.

I think we already are a second tier club, it's just taking a long time to sink in with us fans. Once we accept this and move on things will get a lot better for us 'cos we won't have such high expectations of our team and thus being disappointed every other week or so won't come as much of a surprise.

I think i've reached that point already.

Just looked back at your posts. Can't see it myself.

When we scored in the second half I was convinced we would kick on and win this game but as the clock ticked down you could just sense Hudds scoring late on to snatch it at the death...........no suprise there then

I don't think we played that badly just too many errors but i'm so used to that now that it now means I'm only p1ssed off Friday night not all weeked like I was in the past .

I agree 100% with what Noble says there (must be a first ). Our kicking game was rubbish tonight, but on the whole I didn't think it was all that bad. It was a good arm-wrestle. Fielden's reaction after their first try would suggest it wasn't grounded, it looked very dubious on the replay. I'm still amazed that their 2nd try was given, looked a blatant knock on to me

"Whilst I take responsibility for what we do" - Good lets hope IL see's it like that and sacks him.

"We need to be going a bit better." - master of understatements.

How on earth does that equate to things getting better? What is wrong with the fans of one of the best supported clubs having high expectations?

Dave

The high expectations we all have are no longer being achieved by what is a very average side.

If we lower our expectation then we won't be disappointed after results like last nights.

Simple, no?

The thread title nicely sums up most of the posts I have read on this thread so far.

Out of interest, what were the excuses last season when Huddersfield put 30+ points on you?

I've seen them 3 times now. They use exactly those tactics each week.

3 times in how many years?

Clearly you werent watching agaisnt Quins, or Cas, or Bradford, or Castleford, or Catalans, or Hull, or Saints

Try watching how Wigan play sometime, you might be surprised at the amount of laying on, offsides, obstructions etc that go on.

Clearly this season shag. Against Hull & Castleford, they applied the exact same tactics as last night. Ask Terry Matterson if he agrees with the way Hudds play.
