No problem, I really respect people like you and everyone else who supports the club. However I really wish people would understand the harsh reality and wake up to the facts. This club we all love is being run down by inept leadership and if they are quite happy to sit back and not bring in some quality then championship here we come
.

Are you party to the inner workings of the club? If not, how do you know the facts? The facts are obvious to me. We have small attendances. We had a crumbling 100 year old ground. We have a league that requires us to upgrade our facilities. We had a council and a developer who shafted us. And you blame the man who kept our heads above water.

And of course, if you can do better, crack on

The players do the fans and board no favours with their dumb errors. Failure to play the ball correctly during our 1st two sets in the game FFS!
Conceding multiple 6 again's every week is killing us. We must top the league on this stat by a mile.

Relieved that we didn't completely run out of energy and ship in our usual hat full of tries in the last 15 minutes. Good to see Eseh get a run.

Outstanding defence against a giants sided which has reputedly spent the most in its history on players and muted to be in the top 3/4 come the end of the season .Our downfall was the non creativity offered by our half’s and slow play the balls along with a catalog of unforced errors when in a position to attack the line , real coach killing mistakes . Imo a stand off and hooker with genuine pace is required urgently to get our attack up and running . We had Huddersfield reading on numerous occasions but could deliver the coup de gras due to poor ball handling at the crucial times . Shudds for me got plenty of 6 agains and piggy backs up into a striking position due to penalties , but time and time again our defence held solid which is a massive positive for the team after last week . Summed up , great defence , poor attacking options

Agree with all that, especially the 6 agains, it's just not consistent, not just for us, but any game you watch, most of shudders field position came from 6 agains. Even the penalty for ripping looked a very harsh call.

I hope our overseas players start to show some form pretty soon because they have shown nothing that a home grown player couldn't do.


Have to say they were very average for the money Davey as spent,and some good Trinity defense. Ian Watson who I thought was pretty decent as turned into a whinger.

Spot on. I said at the game last night I'd give anything for a Liam Finn/Paul Sykes partnership!
Gaskill is NOT SL standard at SO. IMO at the very best he's a reserve centre. Hood is not quick enough at hooker and Smith is wasted there.
Until those positions are sorted out then it's looking bleak.
No, now is not the time for panic, but three games from now if we're without a win it will be.

According to RWB Army, we’ve signed Ashton Golding

Re: Huddersfield next : Sat Mar 04, 2023 8:36 am  

Liam Hood doesn’t have to be “quick at hooker”. Not every number 9 is going to be a Damien Cook / Daryl Clark type of player.

Hood dictates the pace of our attack with his intelligence and accuracy in passing. Plus he’s dominant in defence and helps balance our efforts when the likes of Atoni et al are blowing up.

You could name 20 things wrong with our squad but Hood isn’t one of them.

Would make sense, Jake Connor due back anytime and Golding would slide down the order for hudds

To get his director loan back….?

Well I wish You and the others on here who constantly moan that Carter isn’t spending any of his own money on the club, finally admit that he does. Otherwise why would he be hanging around to get his “Director loan” back.
Carter, Minards and others, did save this club over recent years, so don’t criticise those who Do, when all the moaners on here Can’t.
