We are not making play offs again. we will only compete with Hull London and Cas. The project with Smith is not working we have not put one full 80 minutes in this season. It’s embarrassing from a big club the appointment of Smith has been a disaster and done on the cheap. We need a top class coach not a rookie who makes the same mistake after mistake. Not good enough

Huddersfield Giants Fight Back To Beat The Rhinos : Fri Apr 19, 2024 8:58 pm  

Huddersfield Giants Fight Back To Beat The Rhinos Eighth placed Leeds Rhinos hosted Sixth placed Huddersfield Giants in a Round Eight encounter at Headingley as both sides looked to keep pace with the top of the table and avoid slipping further behind in the race for the spoils in 2024. The bookies were going for a home win, but only just, as they gave the Rhinos a two-point handicap on the coupon with no-one suggesting that the Rhinos would rampage to the 54-0 scoreline that they registered the last time that the two sides met at Headingley in June 2023. The Giants came into the game on the back of that massive Challenge Cup win over the Catalans Dragons last weekend, the Rhinos on the back of just one win in their last four outings.

Rohan is the Jesse Marche of RL

We need a full back that can defend, forwards that have controlled aggression and backs that have structure. Unlucky with Newman and Fusituia to a certain extent but when you resign players that have been injured more than they've played then maybe they need to think about another career. So utterly predictable.

Another season gone. No idea how we turn this round.

Re: RD 8 | Huddersfield Giants (H) : Fri Apr 19, 2024 9:05 pm  

Embarrassing performance, dumb, soft, weak and clueless

The defensive reads were appalling, the contact when we did get there was even worse

Any smithites remaining want t come forward and tell us that we're much better from last year. Nobody wanted to say I told you so, but here we are.

Indefensible. Smith has to carry the can for this. Newman didn’t look injured to me. We just look so poorly coached it’s laughable. I’m sorry but Smiths job has to be on the line. Even the most glass half full people on here cannot surely back him. Poor discipline, poor coaching, no respect of the ball, weak mentality, soft up front and lack quality out wide

Re: RD 8 | Huddersfield Giants (H) : Fri Apr 19, 2024 9:06 pm  

Any positives from the first half totally undone in the second.

So much that’s unacceptable in that. Try straight from the KO, Millers petulance, the short drop out, take your pick.

I have some sympathy for McDonnell, Marsters is a very good player, especially in the 1v1 and he had him on toast the whole second half.

If I was forced to find scant positives, I thought Martin and Goudemand were good. O’Connor added off the bench. But that really is an attempt at turd polishing.

Agree totally.
