injuries starting to appear through out the team now, horne, sharp, martin, and all the forwards we have out, it will be a very testing time,we know things can change drastically, just hope now is not our time for indifferent results, cup win and draw nl1 team in next round will be massive with our next few fixtures as we get players back,, although massively confident with the team now, we need all players fit,

Not sure that we need all players fit - for me the success so far this season has been about how they have played as a team and building for the future

- we can and will have indifferent results BUT so will others the experience that the 'inclusions' have had will be invaluable as the season plays out

What's the injury list? I think it's

Sharp
Martin
Horne
O'Meley
Heremaia
O'Carroll
Westerman
Aspinwall

Then 3 or 4 from reserves

Moa, Martin, Horne back hopefully. When's Ogre back?

Possibly Yeamo and Tickle too

Hopefully it's mind games. Otherwise we're screwed.

manu took a knock early on and seemed to be struggling a bit for the rest of the match. tickle and yeaman both stayed down with facial injuries(neither of which deemed high enough to warrant a penalty of course)

Even your 'marquee signing' Gareth Ellis has joined the injury list!

Why the inverted commas?

I know what you're saying but there is a limit. Think that was demonstrated today in the most brutally defensive game I've seen for ages.

Our battered squad, knackered by injuries and an intense derby, could not compete for the 80 against a fresher fitter (injurywise) Hudds. Matched them brilliantly for 65, the last 15 was too far. Think it would've been different with less out and a fresher bench.

He's a Rovers fan, he's bound to be skeptical about marquee signings see: Daniel Fitzhenry (FWO

) and Willie "Marquee cardboard cut out" Mason

Yeaman was a clash of heads and Tickle was actually the tackler and i think caught a knee, both unfortunate, neither a penalty.

Pretty much Andy Wilson's take on it.

"Huddersfield added credibility to their position at the summit of the Super League table and doubled their lead to two points by grinding down a Hull team who showed that their equally unexpected presence in the top five is no fluke either.

It took them 62 minutes to score the first try of an attritional game in steady Bank Holiday drizzle as Hull defended with a resilience that was all the more admirable considering the effort and emotion expended in their derby win against Hull KR on Good Friday."

Because he's a dick.

clash of heads? did the hudds player have his head transplanted onto his arm!!

The brave Tickle and equally brave Yeaman both targeted Luke Robinson to run at and came a cropper with head bumps not foul play. Luke is respected for tackling blokes twice his size and not shirking.

The Hull hard men of the front row Lynch and Radford also targeted LR as Manu targeted Danny Brough but sometimes size ain't everything. I have a lot of respect for Hulls performance today don't spoil it seeing demons where there aren't any !!!!!!!

saw it quite clear that yeamans' face was hit with an arm, may not have been dangerous but it was definatly an arm

My point is that your big guys targeted our two small guys and it didn't work. LR isn't a dirty player and both Yeaman and Tickle tried to 'muller' him and came off second best arm knee or whatever it was part of a fair tackle.

Now on Sunday they will come across Mr Luke O'Donnell aswell as David Fa'alago who really hit them with some big tackles today LOD's are bigger ask Jamie Peacock hard tackling and selective running are part of the game, be interesting to see how tough they are when LOD is in Town !!!!

Fair enough, but my dad is bigger than yours

James Clark ‏ @KCCLARKY
Injuries mounting too, Aspy has don't his groin and doesn't look good. Ticks n Yeamo damaged cheek bones and sharpy could hav medial damage

Later this evening...

James Clark ‏ @KCCLARKY
Good news from the hospital, no break for Yeamo. Hopefully he'll be fit for Sunday now

Yeah, I'm sure they're sheeting themselves

LOD is good for a scrap and that's about it. Radford would oblige him i'm sure.

Are you new to the game? Only you seem to have a problem recognising a commonly-used tactic that's been employed by just about every decent coach for as long as I can remember.

No, no, they're all just cowards. If they were real men, they would have ran in only at the larger players, leaving the half backs nice and fresh for when they had the ball.

Fa'longo & Crabtree must both be much smaller than Danny Houghton as 'Fartown' seems to have missed the fact even his own team use that tactic.

You've posted this same rubbish on several threads now. You clearly have no idea about how RL is played. Have a think about where poor little defenceless Luke Robinson was defending and where those players where playing. Then watch who Crabtree spent most of the match running at, here's a clue it was our smallest player as well. Get a grip.
