Can’t argue with much of that to be honest just not sure about Shaul at hooker as don’t think his distribution at the ptb is any better than Houghton which is what kills us. Had we had someone like Parcell tonight for instance I think we’d have been much better.

A 29yr old full back is not the answer to our hooker conundrum.

Sorry got carried away on my phone and hadn’t finished my post, also the word any wasn’t correct either as should have been much.

Terrible defence was awful

Not much else to be said

Couldn't believe how few we took tonight thought first proper away for 18 months we'd have taken 2k

Didn’t think it was that bad a following to be fair for a Thursday night and considering the general apathy around the game currently.

It might just be me ,but how did that drummer get out of the stadium without his drum being shoved up his a@se.

I think its lack of interest now in the game

Oh the places I could shove that cowbell. Arris would only be the start.

People have lost the habit of attending a game. Think it'll take a while to see pre covid attendances

I don't think Watson having a dig at Savelio post match help the disciplinary hearing

2k on a Thursday night, on Sky, give your head a bang.


Plenty of us there.
I'm assuming you weren't one of them.

I’m actually quite glad Watson never became our Coach as he just irritated me last night.

All he does is whinge.

Agree. It's a specialist position. There's more to being a hooker than scooting from dummy half plus he's never played there before.

On reflection Mitch was the big positive, defence on point, and two great finishes. Sneyd in that first half was pretty unplayable, come the second he wasn't getting any support. Felt for Scott up against Big Jermaine he was taken to the cleaners. Thought the pack was outplayed for much of the game, and thats a rare thing, but clear to me the difference was Giants have been playing and we haven't, we were very rusty.
However it was fantastic to be back at a game in the away end cheering the boys on, a crowd of 3,669 in think was announced, decent following from Hull, its going to take a time for a lot of people to be convinced to go back and will need a winning team. The next 5 games are going to be very interesting, Whinos, Saints, Wire, Dragons and Dobbins. Bring em on lets see how good the team really is.

Get rid of Savelio, the guy is a backside.

He can't control his emotions and that's no good to us We can find better.

In the Wigan game when he accused Clubb of racism, he was screaming his head of at the television cameras like a crazy mad man at the end of the game.

Last night, after being sent off, he went chasing after Jones, looking to make a scene,

I don't like the character of the man.

On the beer front.
Bradley Mills Club demolished.
Ricky's demolished.
Tried Gas Club but shut down and looks like its been left to rack and ruin.
Things ain't what they used to be.

There was, you only had to look at the way our players interacted with him at the end of the game in the previous matches. I'm surprised it took this long for 1 of our players to unload on him after his conduct last season.

You could tell after 15 mins we were going to be in for a long night as players seemed gassed already which meant we started taking short cuts with laying on too long and not getting back onside.

The long kicking game was dreadful meaning we never made Huddersfield work to clear their line because too many of the kicks went dead.

People talking about converting Shaul into a hooker but I think it's Ben Mac that should be turned into a hooker. He doesn't have much pace but his passing is accurate and he is a good defender. He can't do any worse than Johnstone who seems so far out of his depth it's ridiculous and his attempt on Cudjoe for his try was just pathetic.

Its called passion and will to win.

A bit over the top last night, but he was frustrated, cant blame him for his reactions after the Wigan game.

Once he has got himself fully fit, he has been excellent one of SL best backrowers.

To suggest getting rid is madness.

That's a good call on McNamara, once Reynolds is back you could play him hooker off the bench, he did a short spell there against Huddersfield at home.

Clubb issued a racist slur. He had every right to be angry.

And as a professional sportsman, representing our club, he had every need to control himself, instead of ranting at the viewing audience down the camera, like a lunatic.

Gareth Ellis had passion and will to win, he still acted like a professional.

Looking at the stats for the game its clear that Huddersfields game plan of targeting us around the ruck worked really well, our top 3 for missed tackles was our starting front row (Houghton 8, Satea 5 & Sao 4) and those 3 seemed to be the guilty parties for most of the set restarts. Ligi in particular seems to be somebody that gets pinged a lot for it, sometimes unfairly though in my eyes.

Given how much work we ask of our backs Scott coming up with only 6 runs for 32 metres is really poor and Fonua was way down on his workrate from previous weeks too with 8 for 48.

McGillvary sets the tone for them so much and letting him get to 200 metres is crazy and there isn't a stat for it but every PTB he seemed to leave players out of the next tackle by been on the floor or not square. You would imagine he would have been on our tip sheet to control him and failed massively
