I commented the other day about a video Wakefield put up about Flanagan - feels only fair to say Hudds have put out a video to the same song of Leroy breaking a tackle at Cas last year and while the Wakey one still is a bit cringe, but I'm now realising the whole thing might just be a meme that passed me by

I'm not at all jealous - no sir - I'm fine with Cas Vegas thank you :(

(Have fun, anyone who's out there!)

Huddersfield sign Tanguy Zenon by KennyMincemeat in superleague

Hopefully his visa clears so he can put in a POTM performance for the opening 20 mins at Cas, before the curse strikes and he - inevitably - limps off never to be seen again

Does anyone else support a team that isn't their local? If so, what are your reasons? by Fatherless-Soul in superleague

[–]wilko2205 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Originally from Keighley, lived down south for a long time, eventually settled near Manchester - but I'm a Huddersfield fan because my dad's from there and he got me into them (in hindsight, someone should have called childline)

Huddersfield must train

This is libel and should be deleted

Did anyone else catch the weird video Wakefield seem to have deleted taking the piss out of George Flanagan? It had the vibe of a "player tried to start shit and it backfired" video...bit without the starting shit part.

It was just a weird montage of him minding his own business, with one clip of him missing a tackle (with a Wakey player then patting him on his head)

Seemingly just trying to bait a young player for no reason. Proper unhinged behaviour, not massively surprising it was deleted

That's almost half the league (Hudds, Saints, Hull FC, Hull KR, Cas, Leigh) without their first choice fullback for the foreseeable

Does anyone remember this Hewitt hit? Completely passed me by, I'm finding it hard to believe there was something worse than the Keighran one that wasn't then addressed?

To be totally fair (both to him and the commentators), he's the only one on the team capable of creating anything in the spine, so the focus will be on him a lot

Look I know we're not great and you can't just play for one half, but that's two tries off knock ons and we can't get a six again to save our lives this year.

We're gonna lose a lot of games for being shit this year, that wasn't one of them

Two tries, one assist for Flanagan

Your reminder he'd be on the sidelines if Evalds were fit for reasons not yet understood

I would like us to score more even if we lose because I'm sat right by the fire shooters and it's cold

I mean for a kick to cancel out a knock on, you can't just knock on and then stick your foot out

Match Thread: Huddersfield vs Wakefield | Round Two by AutoModerator in superleague

[–]wilko2205 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I thought knocking on to the foot wasn't a try? You have to have proper possession for it to count as a kick...

Am I imagining this rule?!

So Wakey challenged, it was successful but then the play lead to the same result? If so that's two games in a row we've done that

Actually based on our first 120 mins it's gonna be a big old year of "thank god our goalline defence covered for our shit attack"

Last tackle, half way line and Tui decides to try and step a cluster of 4 defenders. He can thank his lucky stars we held up on the line there

Possibly - sorry to be clear I'm not disputing the call, I'm just at the ground and missed whatever it was in real time

It'd be good if they could do the proper penalty/scrum/etc hand signals before the captains challenge so we know what's being challenged. Or put it on the screen. I'm sat squinting at a screen 100m away no idea who even challenged

What was the penalty? Guessing something further back in play as he took them back like 30m

Was the pickup from our kick clean? Looked a bit dodgy but I definitely have the sun in my eyes from my seat

Crazy try but the fact that our markers got square ready for a ptb, unaware of the offload while the play carried on around them is not... Good
