New team, new year same old ....

Not good against a huddersfield reserve side!

It's all relative, double the score for the Huddersfield first team and it's sounds about right!

Obst scored the other.
Morrison first just before half time, Obst was a good solo try with Penny in the corner after s good pass from Hyde.
Vievers kicked and wasn't bad.


My take on it was that we are in for a long season but we got better later in the game and played the second half like we wanted to win.
Hendo was probably best forward in my opinion. BJ had some nice touches, Morrison some good touches but not often. Obst was his usual self but not really a dominant scrum half.
Thought Dean looked ok when he had the chance.
Millard was poor playing on the wing.
Penny......weak in defense but tried. We need to give him the ball.
Forwards tried hard but Korki was only true prop and did ok but was puffing and they dominated early in because of lack of front row size.

They are tryers so they could surprise some people but please don't start thinking about top 8.

i was seriously hoping to hear we had played the reserves too!

top 8 ????? well be lucky to be in top 14.

Teams
Wildcats team: Veivers, Penny, Dean, Murphy, Jeffries, Obst, Korkidas, Lee, Johnson, Howarth, Ferguson, Morrison, Hyde, Mariano, Spiers, Henderson

Giants team: McNally, Johnson, Wardle, Coding, Griffin, Wood, Carlile, Griffin, Lunt, Raleigh, Kirmond, Malloy, Fairbank, Patrick, Walker, Sarsfield, Whiteley, Ansell, Orwell

Yes of course!!! Darren Lockyer and Sonny Bill Williams start training at Belle Vue next week...

I agree with you 100%, but i'll be happy to support the efforts of these players if they give this every week, came home concerned but happy.

Although I don't believe Trinity will be pulling up any trees this season, to put it in context a near Huddersfield reserve team pushed St Helen's close in a play off match a few years back.

Anyhow I'm just hoping we still have a team to get hammered this coming season.

If i can just add, the hudds youngsters played very well and thats a credit to the club, the futures bright at Hudds.

Just my luck - about 3 dozen Giants fans turned up, and I get the 2 biggest pillocks in history stood behind me.

The choicest morsel, just after Kirmond had lead with the elbow for the second time "get in wi t'elbow again - brek 'is jaw!". Nice.

Other than that - a disappointing first half performance but a better second half; our pack looks woefully undersized and Penny still hasn't learned to tackle - he's also forgotten how to run forwards, which is a bit of a worry. Sam was busy as ever, but both he and Murph were uncharacteristically butter-fingered. Fergie, Hendo, Johnson and Morrison all put in decent shifts - Millard looked up for it, but was lost on the wing. Jeffries showed flashes, but drifted in and out of the game.
