For the answer to those questions tune in to another less than thrilling episode of "how to lose a game" Starring the Huddersfield Giants
Where's all that pre season confidence gone jools????............thought this was a better squad than the one that won the league leaders shield???........

another poor performance, so many errors (18) . brough costing us again with his gob. his time is up for me at this club.
mamo was a highlight, could be a star for us...need to build around him, then again brough might not like that as its not all about him.
if roberts looked to pass on that great run of his we had a 4 man overlap but he knocked on... we could have gone in at half time 16-6 up, as it is cats scored instead!
walsh once again a thorn in our side.
see mamo wondering where the back up was when taking the ball up????? must wonder what hes come too, love his enthusiasm ..needs to rub off on a few others asap

good shout
brierley and gaskell could be the way to go, be loads of pace with brierley and mamo
whats happened to leeming? no darting runs anymore just passing ! and a penalty machine.

he doesnt hate brierley
gave him a fair crack at half back but didnt work
our attack was worse with him there.... and thats saying something!
gaskell got the chance and done well, maybe its brough who needs to the chop now
but at cas we had brierley and gaskell at half back...i could get to that game so cant comment but by the scoreline it didnt work

We don't have the game and skills to utilize a player like Brierley, and i think R Stone knows it. We made some very good individual breaks in the game last night, none of which turned into a try, Roberts made a great break that resulted in a try at the other end for the Dragons, we are just a bunch of individuals who do their own thing, some better than others.
Offloading and support play are a foregn concept at the Giants and have been for many years, the only recent exception being Browns early reign. We had a 60% completion rate Endless knockon's most of them on the 1/2nd tackle , penalties aplenty, a player who got himself in the bin, and we have fans who think we lost because of the ref. We can't play even basic rugby, and It's the ref's fault.

So hang on - to budgie your saying our attack is worse with brierley, and brierley and Gaskell didn't work- yet two posts up you are saying go with brierley and Gaskell You seem to have had a downer on wardle, now on Hinchcliffe -seems you don't like grafters. well I'd rather have 10 hinchcliffes than 10 mamos it doesn't matter how many points we score we still have to score MORE than the opposition. If we had 10 players capable of defending like Hinchcliffe we wouldn't be losing so many games. .

yes stone alluded to the fact they are playing as individuals and doing their own thing to force the issue instead of managing a game
they just arent learning or dont want to do it enough ..thats what stone said lastnight anyway ..they dont want to do it enough to make the change
