[Ant]

Bloody awful 40 mins

But not out of it

[flyingking]

Giants must have been informed they are playing in the Friday game.

[DoubleD]

Was just thinking that re Crabtree. Looks really weak going into the tackle.

Hudds really not shown up from what I've seen thus far.

Crabtrees legs have gone, he's just a trundler now

[Just Browny]

WTF?

They read your previous post.

[DavidM]

Bet Chris Robshaw never expected a name check . He'd probably get a start for hudds

[Ant]

Crabtrees legs have gone, he's just a trundler now

His stats say otherwise

Nothing flash but an absolute workhorse

Giants handling is just awful that's been out problem all year

They are bad tonight,but not that bad.

Barely even trundles. Can't believe that sky still give all the 'big Eorl' every time he comes on.

[Dave T]

Not the best game of RL ever, but still plenty to enjoy. Why must we (rl fans) knock it with such glee?

He's had a big daddy off Phil as well .

[Ant]

I've seen the Giants come back to win from 22-0 down at the DW before now

No glee, far from it. I was looking forward to a high quality semi, hoping Huddersfield might upset the odds and a cracking atmosphere. But there's none of that

[DavidM]

I think they'll take this on the balance of play . Big halftime for Baloo now

[Futtocks]

He might, at his peak, get a bench spot for Flimby & Fothergill. But beyond that, the requirement to be able to play competent Rugby would limit his prospects.

[chuffer]

Here's hoping for some strong smelling salts in that hudds changing room

[Davo5]

Only if Flimby were down to 16 fit players.

Lovely beach , hardly any tesco trolleys

[chuffer]

Excellent 1st half analysis from Jon wells

I do like a man with a sense of rugby league history.

[DavidM]

poor old Chris ...

John Wells is excellent

As a relative newcomer, I learn so much from watching John Wells.  Whilst I love the bash and flashy skills, getting to grips with the tactical side is fascinating and John Wells helps get that side of the game across so well.  I would love to see more of him and this style of analysis, especially on the BBC where it will really scrub some incorrect myths associated with the game (chess v draughts).

[Ullman]

To be fair, he might not be very good but I don't think he's got any smaller.

[DoubleD]

Would it be harsh to say Huddersfield have too many laid back/lazy players. The likes of Cudjoe, Grix, Connor, Tai, Ellis never seem very urgent, which you need when the chips are down

[DavidM]

Bet Wigan are gutted they lost Jack Hughes , honestly
