special mention for young sam wood too, great defence

ellis shut a few of his knockers up last night too

With Brough not playing more went through Ellis and he was very good. I thought the team played as a team and although I'm a big admirer (and was sad to see him leave Wakey) of Brough feel that you should possibly keep the team that played tonight. Do you think Brough should walk back onto the team?

Ellis is our best pivot imo, Brough has the kicking game,outstanding edge defence and total commitment.

All I can say is our club are going to have to make some tough decisions regarding the more senior players going forward.

Garry S. you mean

I quite like Garry,he is nowt if not controversial,remember that season,was it last year when StH won their first 5 games or summat and Schoey tipped them to go unbeaten through the season,then they only went and lost the next 3 was it? after that.

Ellis & Brough both like their hands on the ball first pass from the ruck.Is this town not big enough for the both of them now?

I feel that brough stifles Ellis at times.

Ellis is always excellent when he can take control and Brough just adds his quality finishes

Same as when Robbo would lead the giants upfield and let Brough apply the killer finishing - that won us the LLS

thought ellis was championship standard?

Young lad,can be a bit inconsistent just now,but I agree with your call,and the more experienced he becomes,well the sky could be the limit for him.

We seem to keep nicking these talented amateurs from the grasp of the big clubs,not sure how we do it,but long may it continue

Well done on the win, which was well deserved. You only needed to perform like this for 3 or 4 more matches and you'd have been in the super eights. Very impressed with Connor and its looks like smart business on our part. Good luck for the rest of the season and make sure you're still in Superleague next year.

Cheers,we might yet make the super 8's with a lot of luck.

Connor was outstanding,not too many players I have regretted leaving,Darrell Griffin,Ant Mullally etc. but maybe Jake.

Sorry to say this,but with your current halves I don't think you will beat Wigan in the semi.Good luck all the same though Yorkshire and all that.

Fantastic effort by all the players last night! All of them raised their game and gave 100% - based on the effort made, I wouldn't have minded losing - they all did their best!
Looked like Connor finally found his niche in the team after playing virtually every position previously - big shame that he's going.
Brierley looked like he was enjoying himself at last and with Kyle and Jamie ruled the roost down the middle. Ryan H slotted into what appears to be his natural position.
Leroy his usually consistently brilliant self and the rest of the lads, in particular Oli Roberts, all play their hearts out for the cause.
Danny & Scott who??
Credit & best wishes to the Hull fans who we talked to after the game who all conceded the best team won on the night.

Huddersfield public will never latch on to RL.

Talented amateur? You do realise you signed him from the Bulls? and he did play first team?

By the way great result for you guys, personally I think its right what someone said about Hinchcliffe at 13. For me you lose so much of his game at 9. If by some chance you can convince brough to stay id say if you signed an out and out quality 9 a spine of Connor, Brough, Ellis, new 9 and Hinchcliffe would be very good going forward for you. With whats looking more like Gaskell floating about too you should be back to your normal selves next year

next game l wouldn,t change a thing

since when if brough going? contracted till end of 2018

Yeah lazy post knew he hadn't come straight from t'amateurs ,but just wonder why didn't the big clubs want to take a punt on him?

We are a small club but we seem to get these class youngsters,watch out for Nathan Mason,Kruis Leeming is now starting to look a deal real.

Thank god for Siddal,well it's almost in Huddersfield.

Looking at the league table I still think you have a slight chance of the top 8, think it could go down to the last game.

As soon as we lost to Widnes the 8 was gone, we need to get our form right though for the middle 8s so winning our games is still key

yeh i came away from that game thinking the same

though many would say our fate was already the middle 8's before that!

Not saying he is just going off rumour sorry

I personally wouldnt say you are a small club anymore. Expectation has risen and you should (I know its been a tough one this year) be challenging again if you get the right coach in place to carry on your development, you have done it the best way slow and steady and not throwing money at over the hill players for instant success. I know it wouldnt be possible without KD putting his money in but its not his fault the people of Huddersfield dont turn up so he has no choice. I have grown a bit of a soft spot for the Giants over the last couple of years

thought they got put to bed earlier this season

Good team, small club. Smaller mentality.

The trigger for all the disaster this season was the club (supported by many of the fans, it has to be said) deciding they weren't good enough to play an NRL team. That didn't even have the balls to try.

That demonstrated the baked in acceptance of mediocrity that runs through the club like Blackpool through a stick of rock.

BTW it [iis[/i Ken Davy's fault the people of Huddersfield don't buy what he's selling. He should have got his people to work harder or smarter. Blaming your customers is not generally a winning business plan.

Our crap season has had nothing to do with not playing the Aussies.
It wasn't a case of 'deciding we weren't good enough to play an NRL team' - it was purely down to finances that we didn't take part in the club challenge matches. I had this reason straight from the 'horses' mouth and, having had a detailed response explaining why, can understand the decision made - it would have cost the club an absolute fortune to take part.
Acceptance of mediocrity has nothing to do with it - it was a common sense decision of not paying an huge sum (I'm not able to say how much but we're talking a substantial amount!!) for the privelidge of taking part - particularly when the return (gate receipts etc) wouldn't even pay for the ball boys expenses.
