I seem to recall seeing him on the replay discussing it on the touchline and rubbing/pointing to the inside of his knee. If that’s the case isn’t that your MCL, rather than your ACL? Not 100% sure but I know injuring your MCL is usually the better one of the two.

It won’t be an ACL injury unless Coops is a superman. I thought the injury was at the back of the knee but I could be wrong.

Good performance by the lads there. Considering the shift we put in last week we were flying at times that edge with Miski, Keighran and French is dangerous. Adding Leeming and Walter as offload option later in the year is going to tasty

Won the game in the first 20 then coasted for the next hour in 2nd gear, occasionally clicking into 3rd when a very poor Giants got within a couple of scores.

Job done, and a professional performance after last weeks effort but all a bit “meh” tonight (understandably) after last week.

A game that won’t live long in the memory and look forward to next week.

Well played Wigan to back up - some solid attacking structures which carved them open early and then it was 2nd gear from then onwards. Thompson playing an hour was encouraging - if he can put together a run of games he'll go really well for us.

Huddersfield are an insomnia cure. Always have been. Jake Connor is just atrocious and Ian Watson is bordering on delusional these days.

Re: Hudds (h) : Fri Mar 01, 2024 11:00 pm  

Thought Luke Thompson ran very well all game. Encouraging

Also Forber showed some quality with the setup for Dupree.

Job done. 2 points. All about recovery for the next game.

Well they say refereeing performances even themselves out eventually... We've certainly got our comeuppance for any decisions that went our way last week.

Absolutely horror show by the guy in the middle. Seemed like if Hudds complained, they'd get the decision. How in the world is Keirghan getting 10 for throwing a ball away, but Swift isn't for a late shot on Faz? Which one of the two has the potential to be the most dangerous?

Really soured the night & kept the game closer than it had any right to be.

Re: Hudds (h) : Fri Mar 01, 2024 11:20 pm  

Job done performance. It felt like we won by 14 points, playing in a low gear and we could’ve raised it as and when needed.

The two centres were strong, Marshall looks set for a big scoring season, Thompson played well, Chan showed promise, as did Forber when he came on and nobody seemed to get injured (any word on why Byrne didn’t play?).

Re: Hudds (h) : Fri Mar 01, 2024 11:25 pm  

Take the two and move on, always an awful game, can’t imagine many will want to watch that back.
Positives good to see Thompson come through unscathed with plenty of minutes in the tank

I think that's a bit harsh. We scored some nice tries, looked a threat in attack, and despite a few defensive lapses, with a far from full-strength pack, we were always comfortably in charge. Chan and Forber can be pleased with their efforts, and Dupree looks a great acquisition. Ellis MotM for me. Again. I don't think many will think it wasn't worth a fiver.
