Sat 14th Sept: SL: Huddersfield Giants v Warrington Wolves 18:00 (Sky)

[StandOffHalf]

Poor Rodrick looks as though he's shivering, even after taking on the last man and scoring.

[Old Frightful]

Hull FC have a team littered with young kids.

What's Huddersfield's excuse?

[Agbrigg]

Nice dying swan from Oli Russel there, hell need to cut that out when he comes to Wakey

Embarrassing in the extreme.

[Just Browny]

I didn't really expect us to be as 'on' as that, very impressive even if the opposition was shocking.

They were distracted with concerns about their potential pay rises being spent on a 3-year marquee contract for an ageing prop?

I missed the last part of that commentary from Carney…

Did he say Hudds are planning a new stadium?   And why?

Yes they are moving back to their spiritual home in Sheffield. They should never have left in my opinion.

Probably out of the SL end of season. Clubs behind them all expecting score increases puts them in a precarious and vulnerable position. Watch this space in October.

Yes and he will have to remember how to play behind a pack that doesn’t get mullered most weeks. 
 

Hard to judge him when the Hudds team is falling to bits.

We were littered with young kids....or can't we have that?

apart from that we were absolutely awful.

[The Future is League]

Are Huddersfield one of those clubs who don't want the Catalans in Super League?

On this showing Huddersfield shouldn't be in Super League

Unbelveiable from him in my book, as the Dragons offers more to Super League than the Giants.

Not sure what Huddersfield offer to SL at all?

Does he? i've never heard anything alluding to that come out of Ken's mouth in all the years i've known him.

Oh come on, do you not read this forum and Social Media everytime we play?

We give empty seats tuggers some excitement away from home with our paltry seat take up but at home we give them the most amazing orgasmic experience they could ever imagine with at least 20,000 blue and white ones every time we have a home game, this is so important to a lot of people who couldn't care less how many full ones there are or how many home grown players we have in our 1st team (13 in this year's squad), not to mention many others plying their trade for other clubs that are cheered on by some of the tuggers every week including the best centre in the league, or the fact we go about our business fairly quietly without bringing the game into disrepute, or maybe our well behaved supporters aren't bad enough for most people's tastes and we should start swearing, abusing, fighting etc so we can also be described as 'great' or 'passionate'.

Maybe our superb Supporters Association, which is arguably one of the best in RL, and raises a lot of money for junior development in the town through it's tireless volunteers should stop doing it and use their time much better by going on twitter or facebook and abusing players or referees instead, get with the real world and act like proper RL supporters.

Maybe the 3 challenge cup finals, 5 challenge cup semi finals, 1 league leaders shield, 11 play-off qualificiations, 2 qualification semi-finals, 5 top 4 finishes, most successful team in Magic history (just in the SL era) simply don't cut the mustard compared to every other team and that success on the pitch isn't a method of measurement of 'what a team offer' anymore.

As a club we know we have underperformed massively in the last 2 years which has caused a drop off in fans but if that is what our 25 seasons in Super League are being judged on then so be it, we offer nothing, hopefully there are a lot of people who are more grown up to understand just exactly what 'we offer', just as i can see what other clubs offer!

Top 3 you would be getting 20000 a match

Not too sure about the signings for 2025 reckon 8th would be about right

No one in the UK is getting 20k a match, but carry on.

On what basis? we have had 4 top 3 finishes in Super League and never averaged above 8,000, historically we've only ever averaged above 10,000 5 times in our history i believe, absolutely daft comment with no substance whatsoever.

Fair enough then, as i say i've never heard anything like that from Ken.

On FC gates i am talking about potential it's huge in Hull for both clubs.

Thank God for Hull being a RL city
