| Quote: simon_tem "Our lack of possession killed us yesterday and I was concerned that we succumbed to Huddersfield's tactics. They are very good at getting three in a tackle and slowing the PTB ball down. Having going yesterday and watching the game back on Sky you hear Alibert shouting 'Move' and the tacklers don't move for a second or so. We don't get a penalty because, as they mentioned on the commentary, we don't seem to be making the effort to get up.
For me, the stand out difference in the two teams was our lack of half backs. Obviously RH had to drop back to FB with Phelps going off, but I don't then understand not bringing Turner on. Surely that would have had least impact on the game plan and forward rotation strategy (assuming such a thing exists). Our kicking game, as it has been all season (the exception being the Rovers game), was woeful and goes hand in hand with our inability to build and maintain pressure. Repeat sets are a rarity and I think I would cheer a 40/20 as much as a try.
Hopefully the back line can't have as bad a day at the office two weeks in a row because if Newton is back for Rovers then I fear for next week.'"
Another interchange masterstroke of leaving one of your subs until 60 minutes have elapsed |

| Quote: Jake the Peg "We let in 5 soft tries.
Thought you were average yesterday and there for the beating but we weren't up to it. You are a much better team than you showed yesterday but I think wigan and warrington are the 2 best sides in the comp, with you and saints on a relatively even footing with leeds 5th best.'"
Wire revel against weak opposition whereas we are too full of ourselves. They pile up the points against poor oppsition whereas we tend to think we only have to turn up, which NB needs to sort. Against the best teams we have now started playing our better rugby. We've beaten Wire twice this season, pumped Leeds and Saints. Only Wigan let us down because they defended superbly and we couldn't turn possession into points. We lost but we played well.
I'm not convinced we'll lift a pot this season but we're a better team than we get credit for on Sky and on here. |

You remind me a lot of Hull under Brian Smith. No real superstars, everyone knows what their job is and does it very well. I |

The current administration appears to believe that only big names like Long, O'Meley and Fitz will satisfy the fans, when in reality we'd rather see a team of McMenemys and Saxtons that can perform as a cohesive unit and deliver above their individual potential. OK, maybe I'm exaggerating, but you know what I mean. |
