Cheers mate. I enjoyed it too. Kudos to FTV and Stu for engaging in the way they did. It's a real pity there aren't more like them as it's always enjoyable to get the opposition viewpoint when it's done like this.The LeBron/Wolf69s of this world are just sad and tedious.

On a similar note I remember having some great discussions and banter with opposition fans on the way to games. It's was one of the things that made Rugby special. It's a shame it doesn't translate across forums like this more.

I think most people are genuinely decent folk unfortunately its gobshoites who shout the loudest.
Wolf69 whatever he calls himself these days is the biggest gobshoite. Hopefully his mam will hide his laptop for a while to keep him quiet for a bit then he can reinvent himself again.
Actually I don't mind him posting. I find some of his/her posts amusing but they always reaffirm what a total gobshoite he is.

See his/her/its post re: Isa where he/she/it completely misses the point that it's not about foul play but how it's dealt with. ISA got a 4 game ban! Still, why let that fact get in the way of a good anti Wigan rant?

....and just about most if not all posters on here critisised Isa for his behaviour - I cannot recall anyone praising him at the time.

Huddersfield home

Singleton 14 carries 84m 21 tackles

Ellis 14 carries 112m 38 tackles

Partington 4 for 33m 21 tackles

Mago 8 for 58m 24 tackles

Byrne 7 for 49m 25 tackles

Smithies 9 for 69m 25 tackles

Isa 10 for 56m 25 tackles


Farrell 15 for 105m 36 tackles
Bateman 17 for 158m 31 tackles

Powell 51 tackles

Really good start to the game from Singleton and Ellis against Hill and Yates.

Improvement from Singleton and massive numbers from Ellis.

Bateman back to his best.

Huddersfield dominated possession between 30mins to 50mins so could explain quiet games for Byrne and Mago.

Really happy with the starts from Mago and Ellis. Excited to add Havard to this pack.

I'm a big fan and believer in the potential of Byrne, but last night was a tough one for him. He got knocked back on a couple of hit-ups.

Much improved from Singleton and wow from Ellis.

A quieter game from both Byrne and Mago which is a complete turn around from the previous 2 games. It's actually good to see in a way as players won't be at their best every game but, rather than causing us problems, the slack was taken up by Singleton and Ellis who were both excellent. With Havard still to come I think the pack is already looking a more rounded unit than we've had for a while.

I listened to it last night and it sounded like Mago gave away a few silly pens on our line for high tackles. Not that it’s good to hear but some Props easily crumble in defence when having to do repeat sets. Seems like the lad and Byrne have the stamina to hold up the line

Re: Forward watch : Fri Feb 25, 2022 1:57 pm  

I think he gave away 1 penalty for a high tackle on our line? Might be forgetting one though.

I only remember the one and he seemed to get wrong footed and threw an arm out rather than it be malicious.

Re: Forward watch : Fri Feb 25, 2022 5:19 pm  

The starting partnership of Ellis/Singleton is for my money excellent. They both laid down the marker last night and within the first 10mins secured the win by outenthusing and dominating Huddersfield’s pack IMO. Mago was quiet but still good and I disagree with some posters re Byrne, I thought he put himself about a lot.

My disappointment comes in Partington. Honestly I didn’t even know he’d come on until it was announced he was off for Isa.
