OMEGA Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 Huddersfield have sorted out some internal issues that were one of the things holding back their performances. They still have around 8 of their starting 17 missing but young home produced halves Olly Russel and Will Price have been a bit of a revelation. Trinity will be much closer to full strength and might even have Tom Johnstone back who normally scores against the Giants. They are still hamstrung by poor coaching and I expect Huddersfield to take a tight game by 8 points Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wakey Til I Die Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 Even during our last 3 years of dross we've beaten Hudds on all bar one occasion. We are at near enough full strength and they aren't, we will win this one. Wakey by 10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davet Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 Another good test for the Giants. As noted above Wakey have been a hard one for us to overcome over the last couple of years. But with our renowned confidence and attacking play i'm confident that we will have enough to make it 3 from 3. Giants by 12 (ish). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agbrigg Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 Easy wakey win, shortly followed by the dreaded press release that Chester's contract has been extended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wollo Wollo Wayoo Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 The ref is James Child. I'll not be there so it will be much less painful. When does he retire? 1 This world was never meant for one as beautiful as me.

meast Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 Wakey seem to have a bit of a hoodoo over us the last few years after years of being our bitches. Normal service to resume Sunday, we owe them https://www.facebook.com/HuddersfieldSA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DimmestStar Posted August 8, 2021 Share Posted August 8, 2021 0-12 to Wakefield after just 4 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Frightful Posted August 8, 2021 Share Posted August 8, 2021 Wakey were 18-0 up after less than quarter of an hour. It's now Hudds 22 Wakey 18. Sky Sports Jenna Brooks to Jake Connor regarding England selection : "Shaun Wane has said that he's spoken to you about why you were left out, he's also said he's told you what you needed to do more of, I'm interested, what do you need to do more of and did you do it tonight?" Jake Connor : "I don't know, to be honest I haven't spoken to him." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ant Posted August 8, 2021 Share Posted August 8, 2021 Opening quarter was about as bad as it could have been for the Giants, including losing Ollie Russel for the game After that, some real impressive grit saw the Giants claw the victory out. Not seen a Giants team with that much will to work for each other in a few years, the fact it was mostly kids from the Academy is even better. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WakefieldCityLoyal Posted August 8, 2021 Share Posted August 8, 2021 Terrible clueless performance and that’s just James Child. Trinity were even worse. Up the Trin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morris Wanchuk Posted August 8, 2021 Share Posted August 8, 2021 Looks like that’s the Chester contract extension announcement delayed for another week. If and when it ever gets announced there’s gonna be fireworks I tell ya FIREWORKS!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DoubleD Posted August 8, 2021 Share Posted August 8, 2021 Did Liam Kay play hooker? It looked like he was down as that on the teamsheet. Has he ever played hooker before? I found it strange when you’ve got a regular hooker in Kyle Wood on the bench Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ant Posted August 8, 2021 Share Posted August 8, 2021 Kay started at loose forward I think, I'm not sure The ref was indeed...not good...but he was equally not good, or baffling. The score actually flatters Wakey, in that the Giants couldn't kick a goal today Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agbrigg Posted August 8, 2021 Share Posted August 8, 2021 One huddersfield player must be feeling a bit miffed this evening . Innes Senior should have got the man of match. Without his two fantastic efforts they would not have got their first two try and back into the game. I am hoping the Huddersfield club demand his immediate return after such a stunning performance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn’t pay most of them in rusty washers and the less said about Chester the better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davet Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 Even at 18-0 down I felt we would win yesterday and we did. Wakey in my view were very poor, not that we were much better. There second try was their highlight of the match but from there i don't really remember them troubling our defense too much. A lot has been said recently of Watson's processes and plans etc and yet again they came to the front yesterday. We played a conservative game for the most but when we needed to we put it out wide and came up with the goods. A lot of pressure was put on Pryce yesterday with Russell going off after about 20/25mins and at one stage i thought it was going to be too much for him, but he weathered the storm and came through. We can still improve a lot more and no doubt we will. But for now, it's time to move on to putting another hoodoo to bed and beating Salford on Friday.

At least Watson has some processes and plans mate, I and many others are at a loss as to what exactly Chester does apart from blame his poorly coached, poorly conditioned and poorly motivated players.

And then Chester comes out and says this........ "Some of these players just aren't good enough. Some are struggling with the intensity and the pace of the game. We are embarrassed by that second-half performance." These are the players he has signed too. I know we are not world beaters but you could see the joy and elation and relief on the Giants players faces on the final hooter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
