fill yer boots.

Another game with a lack of points.....

Where be we in the league now?

Giants lost Crabtree, Fa'alogo and McGillvary during the game - Raleigh says Saints fans accused Germaine of 'simulating'.

Erm WTF!

simulating??

We play rugby in an AI matrixy world now?

EH?

Faking injury.

You know - going off injured, after being pretend out cold for 5 minutes just so Meli can't play next week.

What were the injuries to those guys, nothing too serious ?

McGillvary was simulating so he is fine - not a head injury and out cold for 5 mins
Eorl tried to play on and couldn't run - went off after 7 minutes on.
Fa'alogo went off in a cloud - was injured but commentators were unsure who it was never mind the injury.

One of your guy's actually started the game with an injury Fa'alogo maybe? I was watching the player int he warm up and it looked like a groin injury , he limped off before the rest.

As for the game I'd be dissapointed if I were a Huddersfield fan. I went to the game tonight fully expecting to lose but our effort was outstanding even if the execution was poor at times

Too many mistakes cost us tonight, thought both hodgson's knocking on numerous times!
Thought Brough's kicking game was awesome AGAIN
I can imagine people will complain about the ref but we were beat by a better side tonight

Um, there were almost 9000 Saints fans there tonight and I can guarantee that most of them didn't question the reality of his injury! He seemed to be on the floor for a very long time. I hope that he is ok.

I only noticed Crabtree as well go off for you. When did Fa'alogo go?

We lost Wheeler.

I was surprised that we won, to be honest. I expected a mullering from you. When you grabbed two tries just before halftime I thought 'here we go...'. We had a bit of steel in our defence during the second half which was missing in the first and perhaps that was the difference. I must say I'm still in a bit of shock that we actually got the two points!

Well done to those of your fans who made the journey.

Just got home and we should of won this match.

Saints scored some soft trys in 1st half ie B.Hodgsons ball steal and Mason/Grffin under sticks. Poor, very poor.

The worse thing for us was HT as we just equalized 16-16 and we just looked like scoring at every run. Loosing Eorl early in game was a blow, along with Falagoooooo in 2nd half.

Ref made some poor decisions tonight with what look like a perfect 2nd half try by Lawrence?

As for Jerry incident I did not see it but people said it was a bad high tackle and was down for a good 5 mins but managed to walk off pitch and btw he played well tonight and should IMO have scored a try in corner.

Well done to the usual supporter who made it over who out song the Saints fans yet again. This is a dire ground for atmospere and I'm glad this is the last time we have to visit the saints!

Bring on Hull FC.

It's actually pretty damned good when the opposition have more than a handful of fans .... The atmophere at proper Rugby grounds like KR and Warrington are far superior to those in half empty football stadiums like the Galpharm and the DW

As stated above, if you actually bothered to turn up with a few numbers the atmosphere would have been a lot better for you I am sure!!

I have lost my voice after all of the noise we made and the atmosphere was spot on where I was stood. My little girl had her fingers in her ears for half of the match because it was too noisy for her!

Must have just been your side that was quiet! (I did think the fans you did bring made some good noise though so they should be proud!)

Knowsley road,dire atmosphere,why don't you ask the Wigan and Wire fans what they think of the atmosphere.

WHY after every game do we go back to how many turned up. Im sick of it now - childish its like my dads harder than yours

It wouldn't have come up had one of your posters not referred to there being no atmosphere at Knowsley Road and being critical of Saints fans. Atmosphere requires fans of both sides to be there. We were very vocal given that to a person Saints fans couldn't see past a loss last night and we supported our guys when it most mattered, giving plenty of verbal to the ref, as is our duty.

Was at work last night and listened to the commentary on BBC Radio Leeds, James Deyton the commentator said that he had counted 63 Hudds fans behind the sticks, a bit shabby really for the good rugby being served up by the team.

JD on radio leeds is obviously a poo stirring tool then, for a start we had 2 coaches which is more or less a hundred and plenty more made their own way over,our support once again was poor at knowsley road i reckoned 2-300 maximum however the saints fans were very quiet once again and only made any noise when the team was under pressure or a decision went against them,of which there wasn't many of them.
anyway onto the game, last night we were our own worst enemies again,too many dropped balls,too many missed tackles,too many daft penalties,too many wrong options.i dont think we played that badly we just came up with errors and slack defence at the wrong times,our defence on our own line came up short too many times and saints have the players to make you pay for it.
saying that though we showed great character to come back from 16-4 down then 22-16 down and had we not had injuries to key players and had 2 tries disallowed one which looked fine the other slightly dodgy then we could have been celebrating our only win a knowsley road in my lifetime.
i would also like to see meli's "tackle" on mcgilvaray again as it looked very poor indeed

Are you aware that Saints had 3 players on International duty and were without Soliola, Fa'asavalu and Wilkin who are first choice players, plus 2 players who would have come in for them were injured then Wheeler went off injured in the 1st half?

The players on our bench last night have a total of 21 first team games between them. One was making his debut.

We have used 29 players this season.

whats that got to do with anything?
we had brown,lolesi,whatuira,aspinwall,raleigh and horne missing all of whom have been regulars,plus drew and finnegan, i dont see what point your trying to make?

Hard game I thought last night.

Thought Saints kids stood up well as both teams were missing key personnel.

Nothing in the Meli tackle from the live viewing for me, willing to retract if proved wrong though.

In your previous post you made the excuse that had you not had injuries to key players, you would have won the match. That was countered with our own injury/absentee list, which is at least as impressive as your own. So in other words, injuries can't be used as an excuse for your loss. If anything, what you had on the park should have mullered us because our stand-ins were young enough to have little meat on their bones and your lot are huge. However, I'm thankful that you weren't on top form because had you been, it is likely we would have seen that mullering that all our fans were anticipating.

Incidentally, vocally supporting the team when they were in most need of support is exactly what fans are supposed to do. We made plenty of noise last night. Stop criticising us, we'll stop pointing out your poor away support.

As for the Meli tackle: the RFL will sort it. All I saw was one of your players go down as I was standing at the other end of the pitch so I can't comment on the tackle. But if Meli did commit a high tackle, he'll be punished for it in due course. I hope your player is ok. He took a long time getting up.

He was referring to injuries to players during the game, not availability of players for the 17. Bit of a difference losing 3 players during the game as opposed to having a few players unavailable for selection.
