I may be mistaken but I thought most of the giants breaks came up the middle.



BJB was unlucky with the kick by the winger for the 3rd try, but the BBC report crucifies him for it. Not too sure what else he could have done, should be interesting viewing Monday.

Well I thought he was fast asleep when the ball was kicked. Had Smith or Webb come up with that mistake no doubt many on here including myself would critisise.

was a good game to watch alot of errors from both sides and 2 breaks in the second half from us won us the game. one thing as a giants fan im very impressed with us is our goal line defence this season which has won us games at wigan and at home to saints and again what i thought won us the game 2night.



also i dont think leeds have the same go forward with out burrow but thats expected with the class he is, robbo is the same for us and his return helped. dont niether side playerd to what they are capable of but a good game never the less



i do like the look of your young half back very good talent one to watch for the future.

I thought that due to three of our most pivotal players missing in McGuire,Burrow and Webb that we were far too predictable in attack, we didn't have enough variation out there.



I thought JP, Moore and Griff made some good impact up the middle



I don't know if it is just me but we look like a side that has dropped it's intensity a quite a few notches, we all know you can't play every week and over a whole season with this high tempo and intensity as you have nothing left in the tank at the back end of the season.



I thought Ward had a very good game, he made some wrong calls at times,but his defense and his running were very good



I would like to see him play when the three players above are back where we could stick him on in the back row so he can run off those guys plays as well as playing some footy of his own

No doubt it will be the youngsters who get the blame, or indeed with many of the supporters on here it will be Smith.



Thought we were clueless with ball and no composure at all. Had we thought about it a bit more I am confident we would have scored a lot more points.



Thought BJB looked very good with ball in hand, but an absolute turnstile in defence, regardless of the kick try.



Hall looks in desperate need of a rest. Looked very unfit. Looked laboured and overweight. Thought Huddersfield knew what they were doing kicking to him most times.



As expected the hooker position is starting to look a bit of an issue for us. Thought McShane was poor in all honesty. We looked better when Hood came on, but think that was more down to the stage of the game been more tired legs, and I think his defence is worse than McShanes.



Main issue for me is the poor backrow options. With Ablett at Loose, there is no attacking threat whatsover from the backrow. People can laud up Delaney all they like, but they forget the massive gaps he leaves, and the fact that for all his yards he is not capable of passing a ball, using footwork, or looking even the slightest bit threatening. Clarkson is just a mirror image, of making the tackles when in front of him, but no threat whatsoever.



Ward for me was brilliant, and IMO the man of the match considering his experience to others.

Sometimes I wonder if I was watching the same game as you.

Terrible game - very poor standard, the number of simple mistakes made by both sides was far too many for elite level.



Virtually every Huddersfield try came from a line break down the middle of the defence. Smith got a lot of stick last week but BJB was much worse this week. The frustrating thing is we have two potent attacking players in Hall and Watkins and both hardly got any ball. Hardaker seems to have got second season syndrome and his play has stagnated, I am sure he will improve but at the moment his form isn't helping matters. The attack - Ward apart - looked pedestrian at best.



The hooking position also needs addressing - McShane doesn't appear to be the answer, his silly elbow in the face lead to the first try and his attacking options were poor all night. Burrow has the attacking capability but he can't lead the defensive line as a hooker should do and Hood looks a little lightweight at the moment.



Finally I lost count of the number of plays were both Peacock and Kylie were not available to take the ball up because they hadn't made it back into the attacking line. McDermott needs to re-think having both on the field at the same time. Kylie's second spell was a disaster his defence was appalling.



On a positive - Ward looks like a throwback - a loose forward with speed, good hands and excellent footwork, it would interesting to see him Sinfield and McGuire on the field at the same time.

If you thought Hall was anything above poor last night then I don't believe you actually went. Not blaming him, as I thought Huddersfield targetted him to tire him. But he looked really lethargic.

Playing outside Hardaker is doing him no favours tbh.

Don't dissagree with that. But it's without ball I was more concerned about, and how slow he was getting back for kicks, how slow he was turning around, and how hesitant he looked with the kicks.

Classic Leeds, you'll still win it.

He looks too bulked up to me - there must be limit as to how big someone can get with it affecting their speed and mobility
