We look slow. I don't mean off the pace, I mean just slow as a unit. I'm not sure who isn't selected who can help that. 

Bring back TomPkins

[Dave T]

Ah, just play on. 

[Futtocks]

Anyone have an idea what the pitch conditions at Huddersfield currently look like? This one's cutting up a bit.

Our forwards are towing physically I think that’s why we’re looking sluggish tbh. 

[Rovers13]

Whitehead touched that lol 

[GeordieSaint]

Knowles and McMeekan have been really good since coming on. Clark good too. Rest of the forwards less so.

Not sure what you meant before autocorrect did its thing.

[DavidM]

We need to move it quicker , play it quicker and get out of dummy half when we can against their big guys

The half time stats showed we'd done almost twice as many tackles as them. Didn't seem like that, but I think that has tired us. 

[Johnny Ringo]

Got away with a knock on there.

[Rovers13]

Clueless near line 

[Rovers13]

Wow what a pass 

[hindle xiii]

Ball.

[dkw]

What a pass that is, outstanding. 

[Dave T]

Tongan player in the way at the PTB almost every tackle. Tactical or tiring. 

What a ball and try!!!! 

[Old Frightful]

Welsby with an absolute top drawer pass!

[Futtocks]

Five pretty much wasted tackles, then a beauty of a pass! 

[The Hallucinating Goose]

What a pass and catch that was! Fabulous! Fabulous!! 

[17 stone giant]

Just when it looked like we were going nowhere, Welsby with a beautiful pass out to the wing!

[DavidM]

That was a really rubbish set …. Until then 

[Rovers13]

Welsby isn’t a full back for me he’s too creative for me. 

[Jack GB]

A **** set and then that beauty!!!!

I was just about to write what an awful set of 6 that was, then boom....that's as good a pass as you'll ever see.
