Quote: Jake the Peg "Let's be honest, we were missing 7 first choice 17 players, including 3 props, our interchange hooker and our stand off. We also played our assistant coach, 3 youngsters with barely a handful of SL games between them and a leeds fringe player who has only been with us a week. If we'd gone into that game last season 3 days after a derby and against the league leaders we'd have shipped 50 points and everyone would have shrugged their shoulders and accepted it.
There's no wonder we offered little in attack given those missing and the much tougher easter programme we had.
Personally I was extremely pleased with the effort yesterday. The defence was superb and with a full strength team I think we could have won the game. gentle is still working with what he was given and they are over performing IMO. Bodes very well for when we can get some better quality in the squad'"
Sums it up for me perfectly.
Expecting a different game on Sunday - couple of days rest for the players to recover then work on a game plan that will see us break down a well structured Huddersfield defence.
Hopefully Moa, Martin and Horne will be back so things can refresh a bit - and hopefully a big effort from the 18th man this week will see us through
