we were supposed to choke tonight.
ah well maybe next week?

Have to credit Hudds for lifting themselves after being beaten. They were fired up for it, but Hull were absolutely toothless with and without the ball. Think it was 3 sets in the Hudds 20 in the entire first 40.

Front 3 for Hudds did the job to allow Brough & Robinson to run wild.

Can't see them being so dominant against a top 4 side at this stage.

If Leeds can lift like that tomorrow night, should be a cracker against Saints who will be a far tougher test than Hull tonight

Careful what you wish for !

Shocking isn't it, at least Ganson never snatched the game away from you tonight, that was done by yourselves in the first 20 minutes.

I was going to post something along the lines of what Meast did. However, reading these comments I realise it would be a waste of time. We were bad, Hull were worse. There, that should satisfy the blinkered on here.

Jesus, another one. What comments exactly? That Hull were shockingly bad? Well, yes, they were. That doesn't mean Hudds weren't impressive. Get over yourselves.

What's wring with Hudds fans lately, they seem to have formed some kind of victim mentality where for some reason they think everyone is having a dig at them, when as far as I can see no one actually is

I would like to say in hulls defence huds we far better then you and I think it was the only match i would like to see again it made me laugh so much i cried

Absolutely.Nobody has said Hudds. dont deserve credit, they were clearly up for righting some wrong's and played at the required level that should be attained to win a game of this magnitude.Hull were abysmal from the word go and that is why the focus is on them.We will see if Hudds. are capable of replicating it next week against a team that wont be tackling like fairys or giving the half backs the freedom of the pitch all night to do as they please.If they do, then they will be getting all the praise in the World from me.

I would have thought watching your team this season would have made you cry lots of times. How did you get on against Wigan??

We didn't get nilled on the biggest stage

Lol@hfc

Great, an argument by the people of Hull about who's loses were worse.

No wonder the city gets laughed at.

The Wigan game last week acted as a marker for our coaching staff, players, fans etc to see what level we need to be at for the play-offs, we took that on board and came out and put on a superb show of attacking rugby league....fast, hard, entertaining and Hull had no answer to it, we blew them away early doors and by 20 minutes they had no idea what had hit them and crumbled.
They were bad but we MADE them bad by destroying them. Some people have tried to take the gloss of it by insisting it was Hull that made us look good by being bad but we scored in the 1st set of the game and we grew and they shrunk. I dont think they intended to be so bad but when a team comes out firing like we did ( and Wire usually do against us, hence our record against them) then its almost impossible to get a foothold into the game. It was quite clear our gameplan was to blitz them early doors and it worked.

A better team, a more mature, experienced team, some would say even a more cynical team would have stopped Hudds running away with it so much, so quickly.

Its hard to judge just how good Hudds performance was because whilst they did finish everything, and everything stuck and they were very very clinical, they were playing against a side which did nothing, gave nothing, tried nothing and just really weren’t anywhere near the races for any portion of the match. They didn’t even try and unsettle them.

Ellis was pretty cynical in some of his play at times, plenty off the ball stuff he was up to.

That said he did also spend a lot of time watching players run past him

Can't believe there's so much to debate. The figures speak for themselves; 54-6 half time. 76-18 full time.

Eh, that leaves quite a lot to debate.

It is to be hoped that last night's stroll in the park for Huddersfield against a dire whipping boy SL rabble outfit does not harm their chances in the proper semi final next week. Question marks still remain over Huddersfield's credentials to beat a top SL side in the play-offs when it really matters.

Then we could argue that we made them that bad by being so clinical and destructive, if we run hard enough, fast enough etc then they wont be able to stop us.

Believe me having watched all but 2 of our games this season we were very, very good last night. We had something from the 1st whistle that i haven't seen for a while, we had a desire to tear into it and give the opposition a good thumping and we did exactly that.

Thank christ i was at work and have set holidays.Mind you,will still be re-newing my pass...bloody masochist me.

If Hull's a rugby league town why
a) are they so bad at rugby league
b) do they bring in all their best players from Australia or Castleford?

Jeez, one abysmal performance and suddenly we're awful at RL full stop.


Plus three of our best performers this year have been Horne, Crooks and Lineham. None of those came from Cas or Aus.....

Why was Horne playing right centre last night? Miller's so bad you'd think Horne would've been in the halves.

We've no other centres, Arundel and Crooks are injured. Whiting could have played there but apparently he was injured too.
That's the worst game Miller has had for us by some margin, same with just about everyone else.

Hudds were very very good. You don't score 76 points just because the other team are poor.

That being said, Hull were also very very poor. You shouldn't concede 76 points no matter how good the opposition are at this level. There were some tries that Hudds had absolutely no right to score. The first one, Yeaman didn't even try to move. A Huddersfield player didn't make him do that. He didn't have to do anything!

Absolutely awful stuff.

Paul Anderson should be concerned about letting 18 points though against a side that couldn't attack a pub dinner.
