Our defence Friday was shocking and we were poor for majority of the game.

I am surprised we got as close as to been just 1 score behind, didn't think the forward passes would be a factor but in the end they were.

However let me stress the best team on the night won and any other result would have been an injustice.

Will see you all again next year

half expected to get beat by Hudds we played well most of the time but things now get harder

GREAT idea to let Kids in for a fiver well done Giants

Just a shame for you that "Big Eorl" only decided to turn up for about five minutes a half. Struggling to remember him making a contribution to be honest. The next couple of drives after the "discussions" with Bailey he ran straight at Ryan who calmly put him to ground with minimal fuss.

The four best props on the park on Friday were all wearing blue and amber IMO.

Not only was the Pudding AWOL most of the game when he ran at Clarkson on our own try line he folded like a soggy card-board box when the young gun hit him.

Thought that was a cracking tackle and like to think it was more to do with the ability of clarkson rather than big shirley being poor

That larger than life act, aimed at entertaining kids and grannies unable to perceive an obvious lack of conditioning, must be hardwired into the genes of the Crabtree clan.

To be fair, in July Huddersfield [iwere[/i streets ahead of Leeds. There was certainly a gap when we played them at HQ in the spring time.

Agreed but we have got better and hudds have done the usual choke

Don't get me wrong it was a great Try Saver but the big tart still crumpled like a footballer.

Indeed we have, and they have. I know whose season I'd rather have had.

Yup. That bus is never late.

Regards, a concerned BB.

Sadly see more and more players acting like footballers and diving around, usually when trying to get up from the PTB. Ours included. Still suppose milking penalties is nothing new. Still remember the 90 Wigan team humping the ground trying to give impression being held down

There was a beauty last night from Wigan, straight out of the Ronaldo album of foetal-position, head-clutching, fake agony.
I laughed out loud.

The drive after the Giants try hurt Bailey, you could see that. Apart from that, I thought Crabtree was his usual wet self. He's the new Chris Feather.

Agree he is slightly wet, but to compare him to feather is a tad harsh!

Maybe a little, but he certainly doesn't do the kind of damage that he could do, with his size.

I would agree with that, but chris feather was so disappointing for his size. If he had had the heart and determination of a JJB could have been great

It takes a mighty effort to overturn fifty years of Championship failure. Even arguably the best team pound for pound this season have found that to be the case.

Wasn't the bet who originally proferred that I could have Huddersfield and you would take the rest for the SL title this year?

I basically commented that this was a little weighted in your favour but you didn't appear interested in taking Leeds over Huddersfield one on one, such was your confidence mid-season.

Perhaps we both should have shown a little more faith?

I can't recall. I recall you making a point that I had been dismissive about Huddersfield and they appeared better placed to win silverware than Leeds. I recall offering the opinion our next silverware would come before theirs, but I'll be honest and not pretend I saw this happening, it was more about not seeing the Giants as contenders.

Good to see you back, btw. I thought that miserable old sod Juan had driven you away.

I beg your pardon?

You get everything right (no sarcasm), you didn't think friday was going to happen?

Makes you realise what an incredible result it was.

'm glad Tvocs back too.Ilike the milestones thread.How many has Kev got left now ?I think it looks like late April

Sweet and I was only gone just over a week.

Still not quite sad enough to log in while on holiday but it's something I aspire to do one day.

79 to equal, 80 to go ahead.

Looking most likely to be in the range of eight to ten appearances (including Saturday) so perhaps sometime late march/early April depending on his continued fitness and form.

Just like to say well done on how your season has turned from dire to decent. All the best on Saturday and see you next season for some more banter.

just so long as you dont revert back to where you were and sme other club takes your place

please try harder next season,because even when we are decidedly average we can still make both finals and also end up easily being yorkshires number 1 side,comparing this to banter i would call it akin to taking candy from a baby.
