I'm gonna balance the books here by saying that I thought we played reasonably well, just not well enough to win.

Several game changing incidents today - ALL went against us:
First Hudds try - appeared to lose the ball over the line
Second Hudds try - played on repeat set that should never have been
First Grix break - does the right thing by kicking, 2 Wakey players on the charge, ball takes a wkd bounce right into Hudds hands
Peto dives in at the corner - could be a try; could be a drop out, but somehow it ends as a 20m restart.
Second Grix break - superb efforts bt Gleeson and Grix, decent effort from Grix inside to Brough & Latu (both unmarked) and Brough reaches out and knocks on.
Hudds kick late in second half, looks to go dead, wkd bounce, Peto has to knock out of play - Hudds score on re-start. (I think)

I know we had some sloppy defence for 3 tries, but I still reckon on another day we would have won that game!



I reckon Hudds just about deserved the win, but they needed some luck to actually achieve it!




And I agree with Kear - we can win games if we can keep that level going.

The bounce went against us at times but we lack the killer touch im afraid.
We used the get out of jail card last week.

While I do think we weren't far off winning today as I've said on another thread if we are going to have this game plan of grinding teams down we need to do the basics right and that means, amongst other things, stopping soft tries from dummy half.

Come 10 o'clock, you'll have won the game

Someone should be in bed way before then...

I'm with TRB on this one. Had the ball not bounced back over Obst, we would have been in front and then it's a whole different game. Think Peterson should have gone to catch the ball, not allow it to bounce.

I wonder if Bentham ruled that Peterson had knocked it on when try ruled out (ie, bounced it when trying to ground it), as that would explain the restart.

One thing we should do is take tactical kicking away from Martin. He is too slow and rarely effectual.

Overall, I think we did okay and a bit of bad luck (and a bloke in orange) cost us the game

always have an excuse when huddersfield beat any team

From a Hudds perspective, we blew enough chances in the first half to win the game by halftime.

The first Wakey try would be an interesting one on the reply as I think the Hudds defender got under the ball

I was sure he was going to give the Peto try, but TJ, In Goal and ref said no so go figure.

Robinson attempted 40/20, fielded by wakey winger, foot in touch, completely ignored by the touch judge.

Sam Obst is a dirty little fecker.

I wish!



Nah - you deserved it - just, but I haven't seen a game where the bounce of the ball was so one-sided for quite some time.

I'm not unhappy at all, just a little disappointed in the result. We can see that there are some weaknesses out there, but we also know that the club know them and hence we will see some new faces next season!



In the meantime, those guys didn't leave much behind today - they gave it their all but came up short against a side who have just gone 3rd. Give 'em a break!!!!!!!!!!

I wasn't aware anyone was making excuses.

1 All officials agreed that there was no problem with the grounding.
