great defensive performance today, Hudds had quite a bit of ball, but we're a bit predictable, until his red card, Pryce was just happy to kick to the corners, can't remember any mistakes and each kick we're easily defused, as for the best full back in SL, didn't even realise he was playing until taking the conversion

Connor aside, thought Fash, Mitch, Lovadua all put a big effort in

should have been sent off
cant understand why the officials and even our supporters didnt see it

punched Connor and thats a sending off even though its likely Connor said something to him its no excuse

think wing is his best position but he has the build and strength to move into the second row so may be a good bench option when we get a few more bodies back

I thought our last 2 opponents have both been poor against us but you can only beat what's in front of you and we'll take those 4 points thank you very much.

grinding out a win hopefully then leads to creating a win as confidence levels rise

we take a Win at all costs

Great to see Hodgson singling out Gareth Ellis for devising the defensive plan to defuse the Giants threats.

Currently "At full speed" in training according to Hatton pre-match. Expected back in a fortnight. Grinning like a Cheshire Cat meanwhile in West Stand today.

Great news, and how marvellous to see you back

Mau was looking in some discomfort holding his upper thigh area, surprised to see him return in the second half.

Three bad errors in their end, in the first ten minutes had me on edge, but a really solid attitude in defence blunted any threat they had, good all round display.

Probably because it took place behind the sticks at the Huddersfield end.

Reports coming in of a massive explosion over Bondi beach, as Tarqs barometer explodes.

We had just scored a try Rider so people would be looking directly at the incident yet hardly anyone mentioned it.
Should have received an immediate red card but no doubt Lolohea will get 3/4 matches as it was put on report

I saw the kick, and Sav sort of diving to bring it back in and touch down, then a scuffle, then all the officials gathered, and it took an age before the try was finally awarded, but I didn’t see the offence.

the explosion would be heard in Melbournes Yarra valley lol

just got out of hospital after smashing my ankle in pieces playing cricket !

6 months to play golf again

glad to hear the rap for Ellis as welll because it also works both ways and i’ve been very concerned with his work on the last 12 months

I'd agree with that, he does lack the finesse of a top centre , but he's the best back up we have I feel, particularly in defense, where he is very strong. Good to see Carlos is almost ready, I think he's the best centre we have had in years and we really miss him when he isn't playing.

Like you rider I Jake put the kick through then get pulled back followed the ball and saw Mitch touch it down for the try then just saw what looked like Connor end up on the floor.

I just don't see what JJ offers, decent defence, but pretty much nothing going forward, go passing game, slow and doesn't make breaks or many metres.

Players like him should come from within, I'm sure a young player could do his job as good if not better.

He hasn't moved here for 20k a year, so I think we could get much value on the cap than him for a youth player, certainly a player we should be looking at replacing within next season. The top teams don't have squad players like him, they use younger players, done Ok whilst we have injuries, but realistically shouldn't be anywhere near the 17.

Still under using Satae, was fantastic last week, this week 9 drives, no way should Satae be taking the same drives as Bowden in a game, should be doing 15 minimum.

Two negative posts, thought we worked really hard, defensively excellent and thought we looked comfy for most of the game, bombed a couple of trys too. Thought Savelio was outstanding, worked really hard along with Lovodua and Mitch. no real bad performances to be fair.

Looked a bit pedestrian in attack, will help having Gale back and some threat from Carlos, big decision for the Wigan game who to play at 6, Mcnamama or Lovodua, you can have Lovodua on the bench to cover hooker, but feel he is too good to play 40 minutes

Think bonaire is talking about the incident which Sav scored Chris, think Tuli must have thrown a punch, but the try took ages to be awarded, I really enjoyed the game, some great defensive hits from both teams.

Sorry Rider thats the one I meant where Joe put the kick in and Connor kicked it on and Sav scored not Mitch (older age starting to affect me

).

I think we l end up introducing Balmforth over Johnstone at some point. Definitely needs releasing though and a youngster giving a chance.

Satae seemed to only play 20 mins, may of thought we looked comfortable so gave him a break.

Understand your point, but its a long season, we're only 6 games in. we saw last year what happened when we burnt Satae out due to injuries etc, he wasn't the same player towards the back end of the year. The less work he is doing now will leave him fresher towards the end of the season.

Think a few years back Swifty would have finished that great break off, we’ve got to be pleased with this start to the season, on paper we’re badly patched up, and it feels like bonus points, bigger tests to come mind.
