the game against Hull Kr on the 28th will be a massive game for both teams I feel, if we win on Monday and a win against Hull KR the easter period will shape our season.

I still think at some point we will string a few wins together, I’m hoping today was the start of it.

We’ll probably waste going to a severely injury hit Wakey and serve up a shower of poop though

Well he said he will hopefully play against KRnt which I think we can all assume means he wont play Monday.

Dwyer was excellent again, along with Hurrell our best of the season so far imo.
We played some good stuff in the first half but we look so fragile when the opposition have a good spell. The defence stopped moving up and Huddersfield were making metres at will. If the ball hadn't fallen for Handley it could have been a different story.

Also I know he gets some stick but we do look a lot better with Myler in the team, he seems to be the only one in the team that can guide the team around.

I think Sutcliffe has got the stand off position pretty much guaranteed bar injury, I’m not saying its deserved but that’s how it seems, if we can guarantee safety with a few games to go Id like to see Mclleland get a run though.

Hirrells injury could be the making of Newman who IMO is a real talent.

Great first half. Very poor second half. Huddersfield were poor. Really pleased to get the win and some encouraging performances.

Very little to wax lyrical about though. They have a run of very winnable games that could pull us out of the relegation issue.

That first half was the worst we’ve played all season- we made a very ordinary Leeds side look good. Shocking first half performance.
Just looked like they were wary of using any energy- wardle just watched briscoe score his try.
Best player mackintosh- he was also our worst player at times with some awful “passes”.
Forwards poor compared to the great game they played last week.
Leeds aren’t owt much but we made them look brilliant.
Our lads reverted to type After that second try where Leeds scored off being a mile offside and their heads went. Again.

He wasn't offside, pause the highlights when the ball comes off Dwyers boot, Donaldson is in line

I actually didn’t think we were that great today. Huddersfield were just really poor. I suppose there were flashes of good play in attack in the first half, but as soon as we had any defending to do in the second half we looked all over the place. Or am I judging us too harshly? I suppose we’re a bottom half of the table team now. Still, good to get the win and see a few tries scored.

Think woolford pretty much sums it up in his post match.

Bit of both, we had a lot of shifting positions to do with Hurrell going off injuried then having 2 sin binnings and sutcliffe going off for 15 mins.

Interesting to see we scored 3 from kicks on the last which has generally been poor this year

Id like to see Briscoes sin binning again, to me he got binned because it looked dangerous rather than him actually causing it (if you onow what I mean?)

In some ways the performances are pretty irrelevant in the next few games, I’ll take 2 wins from the next 2 games even if it’s down to the other team playing poorly
