Just a worry going into leeds game is tickle , manu and briscoe might be playing on wednesday night be hard to back up to play against leeds on friday night be 3 games in 6 days

I'm surprised he got there in time, apparently he's very slow.

He got a lift in the army jeep - got in SE corner and got out SW.

Talking about being slow - or not so - what about Whiting getting back to save that breakaway try? I've always said his speed is much-maligned.

Long stride.

Lovely legs.

Overall I'm not convinced we deserved it today. We did some good things, but we were also awful at times and as clueless as ever aside from a handful of players. Heremaia looks a very good acquisition, Watts also looked promising, Seymour tried very hard but simply lacked enough around him to work with (a couple of the poor pieces of play I think were actually down to desperation/frustration to make [isomething[/i happen), Horne was solid at fullback, Briscoe worked really hard and produced some good breaks, and I'm another who thought Westerman was one of our better players. On the downside, our execution showed some sloppiness in what seemed to be perfect conditions, we seemed to lack urgency and the effort to do the ugly things in several aspects of play, we were again given a lesson in kicking, and we still don't wrap the ball up enough.

I thought nicklas looked quite lively aswell in position hes not used to

Why is it that over teams kick-offs vary from time to time, yet DT's is so fooking predictable........It's so annoying

To be fair to him he did do a short one to get the ball back and we went on to win the game from that. I know what you mean though he always kicks to the bottom right.

Its not just that it is always to the bottom right either, it is always to the 2nd/3rd man from the post, every single time!

Spot on, i just thought it was our group who see how predictable it is, it's not as if he kicks it in a different way like Brough did or Sinfield or Richards do with plenty of height or a spiralling ball.

Curious game to say the least. Good in parts combined with some head-banging moments of frustration in others. We kept having little five minute spells when we looked lively and eager for work, then suddenly we would become the disorganized rabble we've come to know and dread these recent weeks.

Thought Huddersfield weren't any better overall, and I suspect today's topsy-turvy game had more than a little to do with the erratic form of both teams in recent weeks. Both Hudds and ourselves have seen a season which promised a great deal in mid May slipping away from us on the back of some dispiriting results.

The odd thing is, after the run we've had since Good Friday, we now sit only 2pts off 4th and although I would be surprised to see us finish inside the top 4 given our fixture list, today's gutsy win has at least put us back in that group chasing a top 4 spot.

Hopefully today's win will be a shot of confidence to take forward into the season's run in. A defeat today may have seen the season unravel completely. A little more consistancy in the 80 minutes and we are still capable of competing with anyone, but we still have to improve on today for that to happen.

Both teams looked good and bad in spells and it was apt as it went right down to the wire! However i thought we lost it rather than you won it, basic errors at 18-10 let you back into the game and again at 24-22 we threw it away,but credit to hull for fighting til the end and trying that kick off, i dont think either team deserved to win or lose but ultimately you snatched the win.

Funny that, I thought we kept you in it with poor play and basic errors and almost threw it away

thought Nicklas looked alright
wouldn't mind trying
1 Horne
6 Heremaia
7 Seymour
9 Houghton
13 Westerman

14 Nicklas

could give us the right pivots in the right places, maybe Russel off the bench while he's still here

Why would you want to put Heremaia in the halves?

his try today just looked like what we'd want a 6 to do, seeing as Horne tried to do the same thing in the first half and got nowhere

He has got 'experience' in the halves but he became a international after his move to hooker.

doesn't mean he wouldn't add a creative edge, like I said, wouldn't mind trying him out there

At 18-10 i thought hull were beaten and had we remained calm and played our sets we would have finished you off, however we proceded to throw silly passes and offloads which then gave you confidence, heremaia's try although a great dummy was lax defending and then even worse was that we tried another stupid offload in our own half to give yeaman a walk in try, the final try again was poor defending by a team now lacking confidence.i thought we bossed the 2nd half for most of it and you were always playing catch up

Well it's all about opinions.

I just think that Houghton was struggling to play the 80 and when he's back we finally get chance chance to have good rotation from hooker.

I would expect both players to 'overlap' as both can do more than 40 mins so Heremaia may get pushed out in the halves for 20 mins a game.

Agree with this. Keep players in their specialities. Heremaia is former international hooker, let's keep him there.

Gentle alluded to playing heremaia in the halfs in his post match interview

What was actually said, can't say I remember it?
