so as yet no one owns up to have expected the win, so whats the panic for

Re: gets some perspective : Fri Aug 02, 2019 9:35 pm  

I still think we’ll stay up, but it will be by the skin of our teeth and not guaranteed until the last game of the season. Thats why tonights result isn’t that bad. Nobody expected a win but keeping the score down has been very helpful. I don’t see London overturning the points difference so they will likely need to win a game more than us and i’ve a feeling we’ll jag a win somewhere when we least expect it. Then we have them at home. Its in our hands.

Most of us would have taken tonight’s result, I have not read one comment saying we’d win but everyone is up in arms when we lost tonight to the best team in the comp. Something to build on 5 games left it’s in our hands.

Up the Trin

This.
And the team needs our support, if they put in the effort like they did tonight they will get it.

we make a change now or its relegation, we have been poor all season

So you would say that was true when we were 3rd in the table then?

This was in theory our hardest fixture, we can survive with the games left but we must improve out attack because we are clueless. I would say Leeds did us a favour because Huddersfield actually have an harder run in than us and their points difference is now worse than ours and we have played saints away.

That might be so, but their last game of the season is Catalans at home and I can't see Catalans by then in the top 5.
We all know what Catalan are like playing away and with nothing to play for I see this as a definite win for the Giants.
The two games we have probably any chance of winning are against teams (HKR away and London at home ) who will be scrapping for their Super League survival.
With little time to turn things round it's looking very likely it will be one of those two matches that decides our fate and I just hope it's not the last match of the season.
Sky would be rubbing their hands with glee at the prospect of what would be a " million pound game" as they used to call it.

I 'd like to know which game coming up we are 'expected' to win?! I doubt a single player who took to that field truly believed they would win that game, same as the week before. Yet like the Saints fan who has come on here says, they are playing at half speed, not out of second gear, good players missing, they made loads of errors, but yet again we are not good enough to take advantage. Our play with ball in hand is just terrible, all one out stuff, hoping a bit of off the cuff stuff sticks, and hope for the best.....

Where’s our attack gone wrong then cause we finished5th last year and we’re 2nd highest points scorers with miller and rocky then went 3rd this season with Reynolds and rocky

Yes, definitely something wrong with our attack this season.
