Congrats on your emphatic win yesterday (only just had opportunity to get online). Your boys completely outmuscled and out-thought us.
I was expecting a close game - both teams suffering a bit of a recent slump - and the first 20 mins or so it seemed that a tight game was in prospect. Then you just seemed to shift up a gear, no doubt emboldened by some pitiful tackling, and by half-way through the second half you were running tries in for fun. Wakefield heads had completely dropped. I stayed till the end, unlike many, but feel absolutely disgusted by that display (not taking anything away from Giants - once you got on a roll you just got better and better, and I don't think we could have lived with you if Brough and Scully had played).
I would also like to ask what your fans thought of the so-called "entertainment" at Belle Vue pre-match and at half time? For me, and a growing number of other supporters, millions of kids jumping about on the pitch is just not adequate - in fact it is inappropriate and completely third-rate. I have been to every Giants vs. Wildcats game at the Galpharm for the last 5 years and have to say your match day experience is far better, even without the obvious reference to the far superior facilities. I can only assume we are hoping that having so many kids on the pitch will contribute to the "community" element of the next franchise application. I really hope we aren't pinning our hopes on that.
Once again, well done. Good luck for rest of season, and I hope we can give you a bit more of a game at your place.
