  1. I'll also add, if Marsters is playing - Giants win that healthily, he'd have shredded them on that flank
  2. The Sky analysis is always abysmal- doubly so for Wilkin, he is the Gus Gould of Superleague Connor should have played to the whistle, but ultimately Knowles did hit him in the face. Giants had enough chances but spilled them, then the second half Saints did their usual trick of being allowed to kill the ruck without penalty - their defence isn't good, they just get away with it. We should have won that one, that's for sure.
  3. I'd say Bibby knocking on at least twice with a try scoring chance actually cost us
  4. For those saying the last try was a knock on, all I say is a couple of seasons ago, Giants lost to Leeds after Leeds were awarded,4 tries without referral to the VR - none of which should be awarded (not to mention Myler getting Hill sent off) Tldr. It maybe evens out after all
  5. What isn't mentioned by "pundits" is how shocking our injury list was at times last season, we didn't go more than a fortnight without having to change 2 or 3 of the spine or missing some key forward. Never had chance to build consistency, and when there was some stability, it showed in good results.
  6. How many coaches will Hull sack until they figure out that maybe it's not a coaching issue?
  7. Giants missing a couple of forwards. We *can* win, but I'm not expecting it this week.
  8. The reality is ... We are 6 games into the first season this system has been operating and no one knows how it will shake out. What we do know is RL fans would rather complain than support, and are the sports own worst enemies, perhaps after the club chairmen. The plan is to create a level field, for ANY club to get into the top, and to lift all club standards. It's not an easy job, it's not a quick job, so why not wind you whinging, parochial, necks in and look at the bigger picture. I remember now why I stopped looking at RL sites.
  9. Super 8's Are you people on drugs? Can you not remember what an unmitigated disaster it was? Return to P&R? We aren't even half a season in to the new model and folk want it changed. I've seen just about every variation of how the league has been organised, messed about with, chopped and changed - and the only thing that brings competition AT THE TOP is scrapping P&R and not allowing 1 bad season to derail years of work It takes 3+ years to build a competative squad, It takes a generation to bring youth through an academy, it takes multiple generations to build a dynasty. None of that can be done with automatic P&R That's why only 4 teams have won Super League, because no one else can recruit more than a year ahead
  10. Credit to Hull, but this week and last, your resolve definitely stiffened after the break
  11. London played some entertaining stuff, and their defence was full of energy at times - which I think very much disrupted the Giants attack. Superleague is a game of millimetres and if you're no on it, you can get blown away, London are damn close to being a competitive team, and I hope they find a benefactor, and time to build again. Good to see lots of none northern/Aussie players in the London roster too. Downside is the Sky comments being unable to tell certain players apart on a number of occasion...really not a good look.
