I thought 7-8k in the ground, the South stand was the emptiest I've seen it for a league game. it's also noticeable how many passholders around us who have been going for years are now missing several games, and we are now past the summer holiday season. People are finding other stuff to do.

Yes Rankin took the eye but my MOM was Brad Fash, seemed to be involved in every tackle down the middle, great enthusiasm and definitely one for the future.

Giants didn't find 3rd gear at all and as Jools said we were back to dumb plays and trying to do it all the easy flash way without earning it

Ref missed a lot both ways and was conned more than once by FC players

And if you dont like those runaound offloads for Connors tries you aren't rugby fans

Ahh right so you just liked to keep us in the game then, not only is it arrogant to put that its also direspctful for those kids who played on the pitch agianst you

So how exactly can the RL do this? There is one point separating the top four teams at the moment which I would suggest shows that the concept, for the teams that CAN compete actually works. The RL are not to blame for our complete inadequacies as a team. Poor half backs, a hooker with the worst distribution in SL, the slowest back line in the 8's by a mile and a coach with ZERO pedigree at this level.

Where does he suggest Huddersfield just liked to keep us in the game? Hudds were way below par but still had the PLAYERS to win the game for them. Take the blinkers off.

Compared with our performance against warrington it was a poor performance by the Giants. Some dreadful defence, slow line speed and a lack of sharpness in attack. No arrogance or disrespect. On a positive note I thought one of our kids, Connor (aged 20), showed some very nice touches.

You were pretty average but then most of SL has been all season. We had a scratch side and really should have won at a canter. a 3/4 line of naughton, yeaman, turgut and logan really shouldn't be getting near a side with title aspirations.

Unless hudds get a whole lot better quickly they won't be going to OT this season.

Same old performance from Hull FC,

A lot of guts and endeavour... but passing & catching is of a poor
standard throughout the team.

Worryingly, this standard will in time be passed down to the youth.

Problem is, all of the present coaching staff have been at the club
since Agar was appointed, so I dont expect any changes in passing speed throughout the squad anytime soon.

thought it looked less than that, i've never seen the south and east stands so quiet

how many would you say we brought? 200-250?

was probably our worst performance of the last few weeks, both teams were guilty of some shocking unforced errors and bad passes, but we just had too much for you in the end, despite us not playing well for a lot of it.

scrappy game but we showed some good spirit to come back as i thought we were done for at 20-18 with all the momentum to Hull.

I thought there were several differences between the sides tonight,they had a game plan which they stuck to,we seemed as though we didnt know what we were going to do at all.
Shocking control of the ball and stupid penalties aplenty to piggyback them up the pitch and top 4 teams like huddersfield are just going to take advantage.
Thaler did us no favours either but I have not posted about our coach for quite a while,but could the simple difference between the teams be huddersfield are a well coached side,and we are not? COYH

Nail on the head

Big win for Warrington over Catalans today gives us a sniff of the lofty heights of seventh place. We need to beat Catalans by 29 points to finish above them (if my maths is correct).

Alternatively we lose and thats one win from Seven
Pearson can get as excited as he wants about next season but we are going nowhere with this coaching set up
