Well done to the fans who came over. Travelled well despite expecting a loss, sang constantly and stayed to the end. You cannot ask any more of supporters than that.

Fullback I agree with. I've said for years Wellens is pants
Wings - Foster is fine and Gardner was playing second row at times bizarely
Centres - Bloody awful performances from them today, particularly defensively
Props - We only had 2 as Perry sat a lot of it out, both did fine
Backrow - At times we had a backrow of Gardner, Hale and Mackinson (I'm not sure how the last one happened but there were times I couldn't see where else he could be playing as he wasn't leaving the middle of the field)

I was only joking mate

Do you think you would have won without robbo and danny boy?

Re: Saints v Huddersfield : Sun May 15, 2011 7:56 am  

Yes.
Honestly yes.
Your defence was holey and we won the ptb with the forwards.

Would we have won so easily ? Don't know, but after 65 minutes today the game was well over, and If giants had played hard and error free for the fulll 80 it would have been another 20 points.

Not being arsey mate - just answering your post.

Like the Fact you kept singing to the end too....

Chances are though, our defence would not have been 'holey' if we'd had TP, Scott Moore and Flannery on board as well (big tacklers all) and we had no chance at the PTB without those same people, plus the loss of Perry. You might still have won but it would have been a more even contest. Lads of 19 and 20 are not big enough to contest in the forwards. We had no chance there.

Apparently Gardner was moved there so that Magennis could have a break. We had no cover for Magennis. Makinson moved to the wing to cover Gardner.

I'm not so sure mate. After tonight I would have said you were lacking at Full Back, wings, centres, Props, 2nd rowers and loose forward.

Won a game have we?

You'd have thought you'd won the challenge cup the way the likes of crabtree and brough was acting after the game. Don't forget you beat a very tired side that's been playing long mins every week with 8 first team players out.

I'm pretty sure we all looking forward to the return game at Widnes.

If we've got even 4/5 players back we will put a good score on you.

We also beat a top side and if we listen to the media.......a fellow title contender, so why wouldn't we be happy about it !.
do you expect our players to trudge off the pitch looking forlorn and dissapointed after just battering Saints at home because your players were tired??
We celebrate every win regardless of who we have beaten or who they had on the field.

BTW well done to the 1008 fans who made the journey over and stayed almost to a man at the end, something Wire and Leeds fans failed to do after we smashed them !!
