Apparently Mason started and Gaskell didn't play. What the hell is going on. You surely cannot have so many players injured at once. Something is not right and if we are so depleted then why not recall O Brien from Halifax.

We did warn you about Gaskell, has a dodgy hamstring.

Just heard about Gaskell, I hope he is ok.

Wish Gaskell a full and speedy recovery. Not nice to hear.

Can't recall in first month.

whats up with gaskill?

A really really young back line. Oldest player was ormsby at 24 and the FB was making his competitive debut. 2 lads on the bench who have played 3 top flight competitive games between them and a 21 year old hooker.

I'm not at all embarrassed by their performance tonight.

What I AM embarrassed about is the lack of respect some "supporters" showed them by walking out of the stadium.



That WAS really embarrassing.



I cannot imagine how those lads must feel looking up and seeing that.

Why on Earth would they want to stay and play for Huddersfield.

I thought the young players stood up well, what I'd be worried about is some of the performances of the experienced players.

Feel sorry for most of the lads I must admit who are first over to clap every time, last over as expected Hinchliffe and Rapira who I feel are no where near value for money and are very poor for senior players and definitely do not lead the younger boys.

O'Brien injured, dislocated shoulder

Odd that. People leaving en masse with almost 20 mins left...



What's with the 5,100 crowd, that seemed pretty low? Is it the effect of Thursday night? Although the Salford one was higher and was on TV.

Think it was more to do with the fact it had been moved from a Friday to a Thursday whereas the Salford game was always Friday, Folk may have made plans for a Friday game only to see them scuppered by the change, i knew of 6 near me who couldn't make it and another 2 had to leave early to work a night shift.



Was still up 1,000 on the corresponding fixture last year which was also a Thursday.
