nothing is won in april.

we know this.... start well most seasons, last season we were told 'you will taper off at the end of the season' but we didnt.

if we finish well this time happy days! the line now is 'one season wonders'

Listen to yourself. You are talking like a team well seasoned in winning the grand final. All this 'we should be beating teams like hull'.....'cream rises to the top' etc it's all coming across a tad arrogant.

Last season, huddersfield weren't so much told they would taper off, but their playoff pedigree was questioned. By the end of the season they had finished top and failed to make the grand final, so was that not in some way justified?

And if you concede huddersfield failed in the playoffs last season from 1st, what makes you think they will be able to go one better from a lower, potentially harder route?

And if the above is not true, do you not concede that maybe last season huddersfield weren't as good as you claimed and thus they didn't fail in the playoffs they simply played to their potential, which makes this seasons remarks of 'cream rising to the top' a tad foolish?

I don't think you can be 'one season wonders' unless you win a major trophy to begin with, in that one season. If you are going to class the LLS as a major trophy (it isn't, this was done to death last season, but whatever), then why would huddersfield apparently disreguard it this season? Why not go all out to finish top and win it again, back to back, because it is a major prize.......right?

No? If not, then huddersfield had no one season wonder in the first place. They didn't contest either major final (which ironically, the team you 'should' be beating did) and they didn't win a major trophy.

If you had played well for an hour and ran out of steam then your comment about Sunday might hold some water. As it is we had the game seen up after 20 minutes and were happy to just go set for set from then on. You can't blame that on fatigue.

Huddersfield were just outplayed. Hull, on their day at the KC are a formiddable team. I can remember many a time Leeds going to hull over recent seasons and getting a right, good old fashioned shellacking! In those same seasons leeds finished above hull. All these comments about 'should be beating hull' are bang wrong. Hull is one of the toughest places in the league to go when they turn up, and many a recent grand final winning team can attest to that.

I cannot believe the crap OUR posters are putting on this thread.

At the minute with our form, injuries, suspensions and possible furyher action from the RFL we will do well to win one game out of five.

The arrogance shown by our fans seems to mirror the over confidence of the players.

We are a Good team nothing else but the key bit is TEAM.

When one cog is broken the rest of it falls apaart. At the minute most bllody cogs are broken.

1/ POWDERPUFF PROPS.
2/ Half Backs who cannot pass
3/ a desparate coach who is making mistakes.
4/ a lack of SL quality squad players
5/ A captain who has lost his composure
6/ A team who look unfit
7/ A team with no confidence
8/ A team who are playing as individuals because they do not trust the system / players around them.
9/ A team who cannot concentrate and avoid basic mistakes.

All of the above can be solved but not in a week

There are a lot of things that need to come together to make the TEAM work.

I am so glad you all think it will be sorted by friday and we should be looking at 4 or 5 wins in the next five games.

You can guarantee we will have more disciplinary problems, more injuries and more defeats before we get it right.
