| Quote ="AntonyGiant"Yes it was me (Giants fan) who mentioned Grix's class. Don't get confused when I say it.. I wasn't suggesting he is a world beater or world class. He in his right was class. His organisation, effort and involvement in big plays was huge for us. He was a great player and a big factor in us winning our only silverware in years.
He's now doing the same for Wakey, but he the fans behind him and playing with a smile on his face.'"
I agree with this. A very good player. His link up play could be outstanding.
He had tough boots to fill after Brett Hodgson, but he did pretty well.

So what you are hoping for is an advantage where by you get more recovery time than us, Your not that desperate are you.
Incidentally I wasn't sure what you mean't by more time to recover as you might have been referring to our chairman's plea for volunteers to help clear the snow on the terraces.

Where is the advantage? Wakey players played Saturday, traveled home straight after the game and weren't home until the early hours of Sunday. The first day of recovery was Monday.
The same as Hudds?? But with substantial travel included.

Nope you won’t be allowed behind the posts- in front of seated stand is where giants fans have to go it sounds like.

| well its a sense of deja-vu again
all the possession in the first half like against st helens yet fail to convert it to points and go in at half time somehow losing!! would have been drawing but brough still cant kick goals, dont know why they dont just give the job to turner or gaskell as they both can kick, we just cant unlock defences.. would ridyard have been the better option to keep as a half back ? right now it looks that way.
second half was a repeat of the 'train crash' we had at hull fc round 1, 7 pens and one sin bin and no way back
disappointing to say the least
our pack is more than matching the opposition its the rest thats not working right now.
only good thing was to see symonds back and ferguson once again gaining loads of yardage, jerry was better too this week
1 win from 4... need to win the next two now the pressure is starting to mount

You didn't have all the posession in the first half but you shaded it. I'd say 55% - 45%. However you were certainly competitive and the game looked like being a nail biter.
Second half I've no idea what happened. You stopped playing and started rough housing but not in a clever way. Yo were heavily penalised and rightly so and there was no need for it.
Another forty minutes like the first and with the heavy conditions being a great equaliser you were in with a chance.
Thought over all we looked bigger, stronger and fitter and more diciplined. Brough was an idiot all game yet his kicks were truly punishing at times. However Finn showed him how to run a tight game, Brough is a weak link these days..

| I’ve normally found Huddersfield fans to be a pretty bunch but today you were let down by the small group of idiots on the half way line. Particularly the guy in the black jacket who was threatening to do in young kids and a woman in the seats. Hopefully when he’s sobered up his mates will tell him not to come back.
On the pitch I’m not sure what happened. At half time it looked like it could go either way, thern you just seem to give up. I was impressed with Dale Ferguson though, one of the few who seemed to give 100%.

The reason the Western terrace was shut was simply the lack of interest from the shudds fans, only 31 of your fans could be bothered to turn up to watch that scintillating brand of football you produce, simply a cost cutting measure on behalf of Wakefield Trinity, it's just a shame your players couldn't match the enthusiasm of those supporters that braved the elements and[u turned up[/u unlike your team.

So if you played Friday, but we played Saturday in France???
Western Terrace was closed because that's where all the snow from the pitch was dumped...though in truth Mr Carter probably used that as an excuse knowing you had only sold 21 tickets through the Giants!!
Yes 21.

i agree, brough is a weak link especially regarding how to manage a game and how to unlock defences... we had ridyard on loan for a while last season and he managed games for us perfectly.

Don't be ridiculous your hardly in a position to crow on that one. Your crowds remain pathetic considering you have a first class stadium and a sugar daddy who's invested hundreds of thousands over the years.
Considering the conditions and the slum we play in then 4K on a freezing day after a postponement ain't to bad. It needs to be better but we both know which club has more potential. Wakefield is a RL town that just needs waking up. We are the true giants mate whether we ever do get the chance to ever reach that potential god only knows.

| Distance wise you're the third closest team behind Cas and Leeds, yet you managed to bring a worse following than Salford.

I'd be more worried about your team than the number of supporters your losing, it's going to be a long hard and disappointing season for them judging by that display on Sunday, I'd ask for your thoughts on the game but as you did not go it would be pointless, having said that I'm reliably informed you don't go to many home games

Well yes to be honest that's the whole point of supporting your team isn't it?
The dreadful state of BV is well documented but it doesn't seem to put other fans off. Hull/Hull KR, Leeds and Cas bring upwards of 2,000 maybe more. Even non local teams like Wigan, Warrington and Saints will bring at least 500 if not more. Even Salford bought double what you managed.
When 500+ Wakey fans travel to your stadium we don't do it to sample the luxury of the surroundings we do it to support our team - we'd take just as many if you still played at Fartown.
Sorry but yours is a poor excuse.
