i think i probably speak for most giants fans when i say we were (as usual) given a warm welcome by quins yesterday, stewards and fans alike.
before and after the game, you were always happy to chat about the game and join in the banter in the pub etc, and were a credit to yourselves after the game, for once this season after a good victory we were praised by respectful supporters who knew their team had been beaten by a better side, fans of other clubs could take a leaf out of your books!

anyway sorry about the hammering but someone has to win thanks for another great day in london, see you in july.

I suspect a lot of supporters of "bigger" clubs haven't come to terms with Huddersfield being a good side yet, but they'll have to get used to seeing their team beaten by you. I've seen all our games except Salford away and you've given comfortably the best two opposition displays I've seen, although of course we haven't met Leeds or Saints yet. It's a very disciplined team who make very few unforced errors (although they might have to moderate their "lying on" with a less clueless referee than Thaler yesterday) and are well capable of capitalising on their scoring chances. Definitely a top four side and a good chance of making the Wembley final I reckon.

i think youre right there, for years fans have seen us as easybeats for their team but not anymore and most are just loathe to give us any credit whatsoever,including coaches!
i dont think quins will be the last team we will hand a severe thrashing to this year either but i doubt many will take it as gracefully as QUINS RL!

thanks!
i dont think quins will be that far behind if they can keep their top players on the field.

Your team were very good yesterday, the last try was fantastic......

Thought it was funny when you were signing to the fans leaving early and the little Girl turn aroud and waved good bye back!

it was great to see so many giants fans down here, less pleasant watching your mob monster us all over the park. i thought that brett hodgson was outstanding and scott moore played well at hooker. see you all again in the summer (we'll up our game i hope for that one at least )

The comment about Huddersfield cheating releagtion is particularly ironic considering Wigan should have gone down if the points deduction for exceeding the salary cap had been applied in the season in which the offence took place.
