NATHAN BROWN POST MATCH COMMENTS

Huddersfield boss Nathan Brown:
"I think this is unlike a performance that we are use to.

"Most sides have one or two of these a year and today was definitely one for us.

"You have to give the opposition plenty of credit but if you don't have attitude and commitment, there is always a chance that you are going to get beaten no matter who you are playing."

an off day for us...cant win them all!

I would like to hear what else he has to say but certainly agree there was zero commitment and the attitude was poor. We have clearly not learned our lesson from Cas. Clearly!

imo brough is a player that opposition sides target due to his poor defense,i would never call him a solid defender in a million years mate

Which shows you have no appreciation of the excellent strides he has made in defence since he signed with us.

brough is one of the best defenders in our team.

you clearly know nothing

I think you suffered today in the same way that we did against Les Catalan's a few weeks ago.
We had beaten Saints away, Leeds at home and then Wigan away, and in each game we looked great.
We played Les Cats the week after beating Wigan and we all thought it was going to be an easy Wire win.

In the past two games you have beat us at home and then Leeds away and everyone thought today's game at Wrexham was a foregone conclusion.

It is so hard for a team to get themselves up physically and mentally after playing big games. As we found out two weeks ago and you found out today.

he obviously likes living in the past...look at his avatar...trent barrett..thats like 2007/2008

Simpson = woeful, set the tone with his 1st carry and getting put into touch. I've seen enough. What a waste of a valuable quota spot.

Jerry = 1st bad game of season, 3 tries past him. 1 great take of the high ball. Really need him to bounce back with a big effort on Tuesday

Leroy and Lawrence = just not with it today in either attack or defence

Brown and Brough = didn't look interested, possibly due to our pack being out played

Pack = didn't run with enough speed and didn't tackle with enough power

We can get by if 1or 2 people are off their game but I honestly felt not one player did themself any justice.

We stood off. We grabbed at the shoulders, arms out. We didn't get stuck in. We just didn't look interested at all.

I was laughing at the standard by the end, it was like they were trying to play badly.

agree with simpson comments
bit harsh on jerry he ran really hard as usual unlike most of the team. not often you see other wingers go round him though and they did today on one occasion

still no where near as bad as simpson

think brown had one of the worst games ive seen him play...maybe he should of been banned!

true.

Jerry = but it was his 1st bad game of the season, he ran hard, but 50% of the game is defence. A winger going on the outside past you once you can forgive, twice you look sloppy, 3 times and you really need to work on it because this video will be watched by every coach we play

Anyone care to say what Simpson did wrong apart from the first carry? I'm just curious, I didn't feel he had a bad game comparatively. Ran the ball well out of our own line as usual.

You seriously think you outnumbered the Crusaders fans



The top tier of the stand you were in holds 2500 and you didn't even fill half of it. One of the better turnous from away fans but no where near 1500.

Hmmm.

Kudos to boost BTW for the pic.

Thats just it he didn't run it out well, he gets smashed every time. There was a debate on here about hodgson under the high ball and someone said they always cross their fingers when a bomb went up for him. I'm the same with simpson when he has the ball in his hands, not just under the bomb, as he will either drop it, or go in to touch. we have british people in our squad who can do what he does, who are on a lot less money and dont take a quota spot.
He has done one memorable thing since being here - the catch v Leeds on our line.

get rid.

Harsh. He needs time. New country, culture etc. Pat Richards sucked when he first got over and he wasn't too bad last season was he.

Oh Dear.

Back in the box....

Pat Richards was a class act who had won a grand final, he was always going to come good. This guy played 8 games last season. Compared to fooey, o'donnell and doof who are all internationals, he is a strange signing, don't you agree?? All our quota spots should be class acts, just because we have a spare spot does not mean we have to fill it. As I said, I'm sure we have british players in our squad who could do the same or better job, be saving us money and not taking up a quota spot.

He's not the profile we've been used to but NB is pretty astute.

If he doesn't measure up at the end of the year, regardless of his deal length, he'll do an Elford and go home.

I do think he needs more time though before he gets dumped on.

You have more patience than me

He's here for 3 years so lets hope he comes good and can score the winner in the GF and CCF

Well if you'd have seen the colour of my cheeks at half time you would be doubting my patience! At full time though I'd tried to sort myself out a bit but was still less than impressed. It's done now though and we're still joint top. Crusaders won today, deservedly, but I'd still rather be in our shoes. Time to go yet and it will hopefully reiterate to the boys that they can never take their eye off the ball.

onwards and upwards, dust ourselves down, now lets give the Reds a right hiding to get our points difference up.

imo it is a bit harsh to single simpson out after that performance, he wasnt the one at fault for any of the trys imo, he wasnt outstanding but who was, i for one didnt think he was that bad, jerry and bruno and the 2 half backs were awful, not to mention the pack, did eorl play today wouldnt have noticed, lets give credit to the crusaders they were much more clinical than us today, but we dont become a bad team overnite, just like we wernt champions last week, for me we lost because our mental attitude wasnt right, very similar to the cas game, we thought all we had to do was turn up.
