Having 'worked' with all 3 coaches in the not too distance past i can't tell you who is the best but i certainly can tell you which one has the highest work ethic, determination, attention to detail and man management and that isn't your current or future coach. Ian Watson is head and shoulders above any other coach in Super League in those regards, your current man is way down the list for those.

As for last night i think you were the victims of the 'crowds back' where the pressure on you being the 1st home fans in front of a live tv audience could have possibly affected your players into being a bit more nervous and trying too hard to get a win, i also think your coaching staff took Hudds too lightly with the positional changes which seemed to be a choice thing, apart from Hughes missing, rather than enforced, maybe he thought they were easybeats and he could try new things against them?
To be fair Huddersfield were very good and we are all now seeing just how good a coach Ian is now his charges have got used to his ideas etc.
You lot will be fine you have some good players in there, you also have a fully fit and match fit Greg Inglis to come yet.

you were beaten by probably a better side who will beat better ones than you.

Hope you enjoyed being back too.

I'm glad to tell you that I haven't been wasting my time during the two lockdowns and nonattendance at games,. I've put this time to good use, and by some strange coincidence, I've been studying the Greek Gods.

For instance, did any forum members know

The Greek God of being out of your depth is called Karlus

The Greek God of peeing your money up the wall is Simonus

and the Greek God of 5 drives and a kick is Priceus.

You learn something new every day

The Greek god of wires trophy cabinet being Sparsicus.

What happened to the Greek god of "we'll win the lot this year"?

We totally lost the collision in the first half, and our scrambling cover defence was all over the place, leading to the contest being over before HT.
Second 40 was better, but not good enough to impact on the result. Austin taking the line on to create a very well crafted try was the highlight, but we need more of this, as our attack relied on Giants inability to catch an Austin bomb. We still lack ideas in the opposition 25, which is still the biggest frustration for me.

Trying players in different positions is one thing, but perhaps there were too many in one game, which didn't help our structure in the first 40.

I will watch the Giants with great interest with their full squad firing. We haven't been run as ragged as that for a while and we weren't short of players who have done the business before.
