| Quote GiantJo="GiantJo"Cynical! You must be joking. [uA very fit and well coached defence where 3 players make tackles and seek to dominate the player in possession. If you want 7's or tag rugby go elsewhere.[/u The refs do not 'tolerate' anything. They do understand the rules.
Did you not see anything else with the Giants? The improved fitness - such as D Griffin - for a team that were not too shabby in 09. The improved transition work. There were many variations in attacking options including much more strike in the back row.
For Cas notwithstanding the failure to play owen at fb there appeared to be some indecisiveness around the hookers/halves and poor conditioning. The fitness issue is a surprise as everybody seems to see it bar TM.
Good luck for 2010 on and off the field.'" And if you like wrestling so much move to the US.

i understand the rules of RL. What we do is control the guy in possession. If you don't like the rules of the game...tough.

| Quote poppys mum="poppys mum"Thing is CT it wasn't the same team as last week.
Last night we had chase/sherwin/owen/westerman/ferres none of these played last week. So imo that makes it evenmore worrying.'"
Right, I might be scrapping the barrel of optimism here, but......
Last night we used chase/sherwin/owen/westerman/ferres and were not as good as without them in France. Noone would suggest these are not in our best 17. But does this really mean we have more depth than we expected and there is considerably more competition for places than we first thought.
If these players did not perform sufficiently there is little doubt in my mind they should be contenders to miss out in favour of those who are performing.
Brave decisions often follow successful teams around.
TM is a brave coach IMO

I don't. In every season from 2006 to 2009 we have seen considerable progression.

| Exactly Tony. Still fans will have ago though. Given up on this season before it's started. Will fill the players with masses of confidence.

| Quote deeHell="deeHell"I attended last nights game as a neutral and these are my thoughts I'm sure you'll appreciate them.
Huddersfield's cynical game slowing tactics were in evidence yet again. You have to credit Nathen Brown, his players manage to slow the play the ball down with accurate expertise. Teams are going to have to learn to emulate their style off defensive play if they want to compete. Its looks like the refs are going to tolerate it so why not try and play in that style! Does Matterson have the foresight to adopt such tactics? I personally have my doubts.
Now Cas looked very poor, I had to laugh when I saw Mcgoldrick at Full back, why him instead of Owen? All I know is Mcgoldrick is sat on a nice juicy 4 year deal all he has to do is tread water till the last year of his deal, maybe then you'll get something out of him then. You should have let him go to Wigan when you had the chance. Wainwright, Clayton and Higgins are not SL standard. From a neutral perspective I would describe it as woeful !'"
Nice to see that you're right on the button with these comments. Not that you were trying to do any trolling, of course - quite the reverse. This was an honest post that was not intended to belittle the Cas side at all.
So, now you've had your little rant, it's interesting that you haven't come back and continued this honest assessment of the qualities of the Tigers' side since Friday night. I wonder why that could be.....
