tremendous defensive performance.

But missing a couple of chances in the first half put us under a lot of pressure.

Well done MOM Aaron Murphy

I wish Rovers had been able to keep hold of Dale Ferguson. Thought his workrate was outstanding tonight.

5,500 for the league leaders? Poor to say the least.

Thought we deserved something from the game, had some unlucky calls at crucial times and you took advantage. A draw would have been a fair result IMO, but you're going well and deserve your league position.

Strange....that's the first time I've heard that.

Thought it was a good game, but as expected you just had a little bit more class and experience in your backs. Thought we at least matched your pack.

You only made 2 mistakes and had a completion rate of 95%, hard to beat a good side with that few errors.

A couple of defensive errors by our young players also cost us, but they will be better players for that game.

Oh, I didn't realise you got two points for having the biggest crowd. And as usual posted on the site where the majority DO attend.

I thought we looked a bit flat again tonight. We should gave played with a lot more speed. our pack was more than matched up the middle but we edged it out wide. Our three quarters kept us in the game defencively and murphy was an absolute rock. Thought cording looked up for it in defence too when he came on- but playing taai for 15 mins is an absolute waste of time.

Both sets of defenses were awesome. Hull can and will win games with less grit shown tonight. I real spectacle for the game.

Not every game has to be a try-feat. Nerve shredding games are the future.

Pity that there were thousands of stayaway fans tonight. Result of doubling the ticket price? We must have less than 4,000 paid for season tickets.

Shush. You're not supposed to mention the missing fans. It seems to upset some people. Well played Giants, although I think we also came out of the game with a lot of credit.

Ignore my fellow hull fan, he just sounds bitter, I'd rather talk about rugby.

Not sure why we kept kicking to Murphy, he is a former FB, would have been better kicking to other winger or testing grix.

Also impressed with fielden, looks like he getting his form back.

Combination of things really. ST prices have an impact but the recession and lack of money in peoples pockets is a killer. That and the way last season ended just lost a lot of good will that had been built up.

I still say that the NB years were wasted years. They were the years we should have been building for the future and it was squandered.

The problem is the league title means nothing. Who won it last year? I cannot even remember.

In our sport you can finish in the bottom half of the table with more loses than wins and still compete for the Grand Final.

Giants are doing well, but as the Leeds fans were keen to point out last week....it means nothing until October.

Why do I sound bitter. I was repeating something one of their fans had posted. You will notice, I hope, that I gave credit to both teams. Get off your high horse, you're not in charge.

Fair point only the grand final winner seems to matter but until then goto be the league position. If any fan had the choice to finish top or not you can't say not?

Finish top and burnt out or 5th and raring to go? You make that choice now?

I thought it was a game between two good sides. My only gripe is Bentham not policing the 10m as I felt we got a poor rub at times. Thank Christ they called back the Dan Marino effort as for a few seconds I thought they were actually going to give it. The score flattered us a little but I felt we were good value for the win.

Leroy Cudjoe was my MoM. He is now starting to believe in himself and I hink that will only make him better. He made Ben Galea look like a chump tonight and that is no easy feat. For my money LC was tonights MoM.

Leroy did play well but a couple of times i thought he could have got Jerry away but came back inside.

Despite that i think Leroy is getting better every game. He is not the finished article yet but is still young and getting better. He is as good as any centre playing in SL. He will be superb in the future.

Cudjoe was very good but IMO was pipped for man of match by Murphy.
Top efforts also from Lunt,Fielden and Ferguson.

Yeah he should have passed to jerry before he was held up. But defensively leroy was extremely solid and (him and wardle in defence) kept us in that game. I agree MOM followed by wardle and smurph.

Don't agree about Cudjoe not passing to his winger. On neither occasion was there an overlap and if the ball had gone to Mcgillivary he would have been shoved into touch. I am happy to see Cudjoe backing himself as I feel in the past he has been too quick to make the pass.

Murphy was very good. Solid under the high ball and a very clever player. He thinks. I pick Leroy because he is challenged and tonight he won and also showed self belief.; When he whacked Galea (could be wrong) at first marker and he didn't like it he leant in and jerked at him as a display of his confidence/self belief. Leroy was good enough to do that last year but didn't believe in himself enough. Now he does and that spells trouble for the rest of Super League. He is a massive unit with a great defence, a clever brain and now realises he is a top laker with skills. I tip my cap to him and the entire side tonight for their perseverence.

I thought Grix had a good game as well. But to be honest that was team performance from 1 to 17 they worked their socks off and i reckon some of our forwards will be very sore tomorrow.

Thought Wardle had a mixed game in defence. There were three occasions first half when there were clean breaks made from deep down his side. Luckily they managed to scramble back to stop any real damage.

I agree that showed some real determination to get the tackle in. In some ways it suggests a more winning mentality and a little bit of arrogance that players need to realy peak. A good sign that things like confidence are rubbing off on some of the players.

Cudjoe has had the likes of Manu,Galea,Moon,Farrell and Lauatiti running. At him this season and they have had little joy. His defence has been superb and what makes this even more impressive is that this was an area he struggled with in the past so has obviously had to work very hard at in training to get to this level.
