A perfect storm really, coming up against Huddersfield who have players like Lolly Jake & Pryce who can turn it on against poor teams like us, and their pack without Hill & Yates, and the luxury of leaving McQueen on the bench soon set the platform to dominate our small pack and once more our failings were exploited with ease, as has been the case all season.
The ridiculous short kick offs which rarely work, kept putting us under further unnecessary pressure, I could understand this tactic if we were blessed with speed in our outside backs, should we retrieve the ball, but we’re not, it’s a dumb play and it took far to long to realise.
Young Harvey made mistakes, but he was coming inside more looking for work, his moment came, and he never took it, although Pryce is quick, I thought he missed his chance.
Stavely looked good in his short spell and his figure reminded me of Keiron Cunningham, hope he can be half as good.
Tex looked comfortable in the halves and a threat with the ball, sadly as the game unfolded his influence disappeared, as we were monstered down the middle.
A culmination of lazy defenders, and poor attitude once more emerged, we got what we deserved, and the forty odd Huddersfield supporters who came, “and well done to them” were treated to an assassination of forward and back’s domination.
Great to see Jamie and Tag get the reception they deserved at the beginning and the end, with Tags try and goal a cameo which delighted the remaining crowd.
We will miss Clifford and Swift of this there is no doubt, I would throw Griffin in that mix as well, although Cliff didn’t have one of his best games yesterday, he’s been great overall.
) will see him be even better next year.
