If one good thing comes out of todays defeat thats the side never gave up the ghost.

Lots of effort.
Hope they put that effort in every week.

Just about sums it up for me!

My first impression was that the pass was forward, although I do want to see it again on SL Fulltime later.

I was disappointed in Silverwood's inconsistency, but ultimately the game was there for the taking if we hadn't made a couple of stupid mistakes.
Having said that, I was extremely proud of how we fronted up to the league leaders and probably the biggest pack in SL.

As has been said by others, if we can play to that level of intensity every week we'll win more than we lose.

I don't blame any player, the game was lost on the referee's call. I take great heart from the spirit showed by the players, the rugby played in the last quarter showed that we can compete with the best and play great attacking rugby! If we can try and play as we did in the last quarter then the only way is up!

Thanks. That's very fair...probably too fair! We made a lot of errors. Our last 25 mins was strong and probably deserved the win but you cant go giving the top of the league side 10 points start and expect to win...Silverwood or no Silverwood

One that got away - we were certainly the best team on the park and but for a couple of sloppy efforts with ball in hand, we'd have beaten them by a decent margin.

I don't like to blame the official, but Mr Silverwood was shockingly one-eyed today; I can live with the odd missed forward pass, but the amount of time he let them lay on and roll around in the ruck was criminal - it was blatant at times and went largely unpunished. He and all of his 'assistants' also missed the Shudds player running in to get involved in a melee with Poore - I understood that to be a sin-binning offence?

Plenty of positives to take from the game, but can't help feeling cheated; very disappointing.

Regardless of the forward pass, or for that matter the pass for hudds final try( I was in north stand ,so difficult to call either one ) the amount of hudds head high tackles that went unpenalised was ridiculous. Fielden and Crabtree both seemed incapable of bending their backs.

Didn't get much off Silverwood all game but my first reaction was the pass was forward. That said Mcgillvrays third was worse. Huddersfield are an awful side to watch though, they niggle away for the full 80 and the referee let them get away with it. But if we play with that much effort every week we will win more than we lose.

Very annoyed when walking out after the game, however there are far more positives than negatives, found the reffing a touch strange but when your there you can't really tell. I think we let one get away today and we do need to put those to bed, anyhow onwards and upwards, it's better now being a Wakey fan than it has been for a long time.

Can someone translate this for me please.

It was forward and he blew up straight away as soon as the pass was made - i thought the ref and the young touchjudge were poor for both teams, you lot were guilty of a lot of rough stuff in the tackles which went unpunished, standing at the side so close you can see it all a lot more clearly, and the game was littered with errors from players and the refereee alike.....was a hard game for both teams and not the best action wise but cheated ???? nah, you were just unlucky today.

Hudds were there for the taking today, but some of our ball retention and passing was embarrassing at times. Hate to blame the ref, but there was some big inconsistencies with the decisions i.e. quick taps that Hudds were allowed to do but we got pulled back for. The forward pass for the Hudds try was as forward as you'll ever see them, think the only person who didnt see this was the ref and the linesmen some how. Then to pull ours back for forward after that absolutely took the peas

Wakefield played well today, but it was Huddersfields worst performance so far, so don`t get carried away.
At 18 - 8 up we thought it was won and played some rubbish stuff instead of closing the game down.
Hopefully it was a wake up call for us not to take it so easy.
