Well done leeds- you had our number tonight. Worst game we’ve played this season and that’s down to how you decided the game was going to be played.
We didn’t really deserve a point, I thought we were the poorer side, but the number of times we’ve snatched defeat from the jaws of victory- I will take it!
Our forwards just thought they could turn up and were out manoeuvred in the middle today. You had fages pretty much wrapped up-and ran at him constantly - and targeting him when he kicked, perhaps just about on the right side of timing most of the time- but not once did he actually stay on his feet after the ball left his feet tonight which I thought was a little dirty- especially as we are supposed to be protecting these players.
We can’t afford to play that badly again in the next few weeks!

Oledski was the best forward on the pitch tonight IMO

Smith is fast becoming another liability, such a stupid player. His six agains and penalties are infutiating.

Sounds like awesome game. Wish I could have been there.

Sounds a good (ish) exciting game which most fans felt Leeds were unlucky not to take the spoils. And the new coach announcement next week, things looking up for the Headingly faithful.

Yeah agreed, Austin who i thought was great throughout actually ballsed that one up by kicking out on the full, he keeps that in we win.

It was a muched improved performance against a good Huddersfield side, Id say we deserved the win but no team lettimg 10 points in in 3 minutes deserves s win, the draw was probably s fair result.

And i stand by my point, it was a very good hame to watch, we doo need to stop giving 6 agains away they’re so frustrating (i think its a horrible rule anyway)

So would you rather a host of penalties and a much slower stop/start game? Its the players who constantly abuse this - how many six agains happen on the first tackle of a set?

Re: RD 8 | Huddersfield Giants (H) : Fri Apr 15, 2022 9:36 am  

Well that was entertaining.... for the neutrals.
100% better than previous games but to lose a 10 point lead with 3 minutes to go is disheartening.
Huddersfield will be the happier of the 2 for sure.
Forwards did well Bentley MOM for me.
How will the backs line up on Monday?

I think people get confused with the 1st tackle ones. A lot of them are the ref indicating its a 7 tackle set cos of a knock on or a kick gone dead and not actually an infringement.

I disagree - most of the six agains are deliberate infringements to enable unfit players to get back into position - these need treating as professional fouls IMO
