Out muscled all over the park today..only the two hooker came out with any credit for me

Teams like the Giants and Warrington, 'manage' the play of the ball, in attack and defence, so much better than Cas.

When we play the ball slow and flat to first reciever, Hudd had already closed us down, making it difficult to make any good yards. We need either greater creativity at the play of the ball, more freedom to run from dummy half, or runners coming in from deep to either impact or roll in the tackle to open the defence. (Something that Huby is excellent at, and leading to offloads in the tackle)

In the opposite direction Hudd were so much quicker and stronger in attack. I haven't seen the missed tackles stats, however Cas' stats again would not make good reading.

IMO - We need something to inject the spark again and a lot of work with the tackle bags.

I agree with BackrowSaint.

Our defence is back to woeful. We have no mental strength or togertheness whatsoever when we are defending. When Danny Brough got the 40/20 it was nailed on they would score from that set of 6. I think we have too many people doing their own thing again.

At the start of the year, we looked a team. Now they aren't working for each other. We are soft upfront, tonight their forwards bullied us off the park. It's no good having a good 5 minutes here and there, they need it for the full 80.

They showed they can do it at the start of the year.

Struggling to find a positive from last night, a few players had individual bursts of inspiration, but too few and individual efforts.

It is a game of fine margins and you could look at a couple of calls at 6-6 and 12-6, but in reality we stunk. When you looked at our sets in our own half, only 1 or 2 players on the move at any one time, which makes defending really easy.

Sure, we were unlucky with injuries, I am gutted for JW.

We are still the side capable of beating anyone - but we seem to have stopped believing and stopped grafting at the basics and coveting the ball and our line again. Fresh faces, freshen up the attitude and the run on side this week is enforced.

So we're slating Owen for allegedly diving once in a game where Luke Robinson played for a penalty at every single tackle?

How queer!

All this rubbish about shirts if i were a Cas fan i would be more worried about how poor your team is at the moment,Cas could have played in bullet proof vest and the Giants would have still smashed em.

I like the look of emmitt in the second row is he a local lad?

Exactly!

No. We got him from saints at the end of last season.
Good player and one of our better forwards.

THB it was a good job we did not play a good side or it would have been a lot worse, we were 2 slow due to being held down a few 50/50 calls went against us, still got a few players missing! u cant beat teams at this level with no props!

Just what I was thinking!

Indeed just how many points would 'a good side' have scored? Thankfully for cas the giants played at 60% of the pace they played against Woves/saints/Leeds this year + had at least 4 key players out with injury. We will 'stagger on'.

Ladies and gents, I think we have found Hudds' answer to vastypants

Wow a thread on the giants versus cas and nothing to do with wakey yet you have to refer to a guy who has not once posted on this thread



Clearly vastman has got under your skin and is in your thoughts. Do keep refering to him and show us how much he 'owns' you.

I have my own voodoo doll of vasty as I am sure a lot of Wakey fans have one of you

at least 60, do you mean you slowed down Warr/saints/leeds by 60% this year?

hope we do better in the cup game, went to the final other year when hudds got their was embarrassed for hudds with all the empty seats!!!

Is that the best you've got? Oh dear.



You felt embarrassed for Huddersfield....what a strange emotional thing you are.

i was disappointed with the match result in 2009. However in recent years 2 Challenge Cup finals, a game away from old Trafford in 2010 and now it is looking like 3 consecutive years in the play offs all with top 5 league finishes. So watching the rugby has been a pleasure....though it appears some fans seem to prefer commenting on empty seats and getting emotional about it

Well done hudds........every dog has its day! did not see much of your lot in the 80s or 90s, nice to see a yorkshire team up there or am i thinking of sheffield

Careful he'll have you for slander.

Not only emotional, now you are asking us to tell you what you are thinking

Be modest in victory, gracious in defeat, what goes around comes around, Hudds were very lucky for a number of years finishing bottom, not to be relegated, sadly some people need to remember that.

Don't make enemies on the way up, they'll remember you on the way down......

this guy/girl is really funny, no honestly really funny


no you didn't see much of us in the 80's and 90's thats because we were a lower division team who have worked damn hard over the last 10 years to become yorkshire's premier rugby team,now dont be bitter it's not nice
