They are not totally meaningless in that you can gauge fitness and sharpness to a degree.



I thought the Leeds, Hull and Hudds games were played to a fairly competitive level, more so than most friendlies I've seen through the years. The tackling in the Hull game was especially brutal, no doubt a side effect of last years drubbing.



Yes they aren't real games as such but I thought these were three very useful work outs indeed and that we should with a bit of luck hit the ground running at London.



Also only one casualty, which is pretty good going when you consider that Hull and Wigan have generally lost half a team before most seasons even start.

Agreed and I think that it was one of your earlier posts that suggested that players who are confident of a shirt in the opening fixtures dont have to show too much in the warm up games and unless he comes a cropper before the opening round, Uate is nailed on for a starting spot.

He was still disappointing on the night though, I mistakenly thought that he may want to show people just how good he is, rather than just get through.

Time will tell and his reputation will count for nothing is Huddersfield aren't winning too many games.

Huddersfield 14 Salford 34! Losing at home to Salford, first game of the season....

Before we played Hudds in friendly some of their fans were of the opinion they were far superior to us in every position.

I feel that shudds will struggle this year, just watched the try’s, Grix’s positioning and defence was top notch as it was as Wakey

ish.....there's gonna be tears over at the shudds board...

What sort of team did he eventually select, said on teletext he'd only named 18 due to injury. Not good this early in the season. great result for Salford but they have no depth at all and will struggle when they start to pick up a few injuries.

Wonder where gianttown

is tonight............

It would have been past his bedtime

Dunno what you're all going on about him for, its not like it gives a 5h1t about Shudds.

That account is dead until its narcissistic creator needs more attention, at which point it'll declare some other equally ludicrous trolling pov........and so it continues.

sure he would be back today
