You’re right about Huddersfield they just play a really high % game, take very few risks with the ball and have incredible discipline.

I wouldn’t call Huddersfield dull to be fair, they may not be as free flowing like St’s but they are a decent side. Watson has implemented structure and plays which they stick to and are now executing well, the stay in the grind relying on the systems/structures playing the percentages. Then take the opportunities they are given and and creating there own.
Thought Huddersfield were good value for their win today and embarrassed our dear neighbours in the process.
I really enjoy long walks especially when they are taken by people I don't like!

Agreed, at times they play safe, like the cup final which cost the the game, but when they spread it and offload they play some nice rugby and score some good trys.

Regardless, the last four fixtures I’ve attended against this team has been, dull, dull, dull, and we didn’t lose them all, it’s so boring, process process process, kill me now, and give me my cash back. All opinions of course, you pays your money as they say.
With regards to Bret Hodgson how many years has he got left on his contract at Hull FC? I've just posted this on the Rhinos forum and wondered if any of you had heard any whispers?

I would love him back at Leeds in some coaching capacity as he would be the ideal man to assist Rohan and to also help sort our terrible disciplinary record out.
I won't be naming the former player as I was told in complete confidence, But he did say that I could post this rumour What a smashing lad he was and plenty of banter was exchanged too, So perhaps this was one of his wind ups?
