the first half we had 90% completion rate, win most games with that percentage.



agree about the defence looking abit better now which is needed.



paul anderson said about the win it was like ordering a chinese takeaway and the rice not turning up







kaufusi and broughton got knocks in training so they missed out.

Given the disruption it's perhaps not too much surprise we faded second half

We ended up the penalty count with Giants 10 Wakey 5, no wonder we faded second half

Will we ever learn

to be fair a lot of those were given during child's pedantic spell midway through the 2nd half.

our discipline was pretty good, certainly no worse than wakefield.

Wakey got away with what we were penalised for on numerous occasions. We certainly did not appear to be ill-disciplined during this match - even though the statistics say differently.

On a different topic, my daughter was not allowed to take in an opened bottle of water. If it had been unopened she could have. She was even allowed to empty the bottle and refill it inside. The security officer said that this was due to the government upgrading the terrorist threat to include all sports stadia. [The liquid could have been an explosive – even though she drank some to show it wasn’t!



She wasn't the only one caught by this ruling.



I'm making further enquiries.

I agree it was like Child was trying to level things out the one where Lawrence got pinged was no different to what Wakey were doing all game they made a lot of their yards at this time rarely through play and the penalties put them on the front foot but we were comfortable and did what Leeds and Wigan couldn't !!

Apparently our club have not heard about this so I'm lodging a complaint with Wakefield.

A young girl with one of our mates (maybe 8 i can't remember) was refused entry by the 'bouncers with jackets on' for having a can of coke....they made her stand with her back to the turnstile wall and drink it before they let her in, poor lass couldn't understand what she did wrong, reading the wakey board a few weeks back it seemed some of their own fans had the same issue and the club responded by saying something along the lines of they hadn't instructed the 'stewards' to do this !!.

Bags were searched at the Galpharm last home game



So lodge a complaint with the Giants too

TBF the rule itself is quite sensible - it's surprising to me that a sports stadium doesn't seem to have been targeted by terrorists yet. What isn't sensible is that she still had to empty the bottle even after showing it was harmless by drinking some of the contents! A bit of common sense would have been appropriate there.



Reminds me of one time when my almost empty 110ml tube of toothpaste was confiscated at an airport security check - an almost full 100ml tube would have been OK!

I took in half a bottle of water in my hand and my girlfriend had her bag searched!

Interesting as I had a bag with a previously opened bottle of water inside along with a further couple of bottles of pop. I also just finished a can of lager so would've been prime for a bag search but I wasn't even approached so had i not got rid of two cans i couldve easily have taken cans in! Not heard of checking bottles due to heightened security threat only if suspect of hidden alcohol! Will probably know more once I've completed some training I'm about to embark on. But to say not all bags are being searched they're ain't doing it thoroughly despite the threat!!
