Sa would be a massive miss. Is Ellis OK, seemed to take a hit to the shoulder, carried on but came off shortly afterwards?

Superb following and very vocal I'd have said 3,000 but regardless great turn out and great start to our season

He was clapping the fans at the end with no sling or support so guessing all is fine with Ellis.

Hope so. Immense for us.

For sure. The back row of Ellis, Mini and Westerman is up there with the best in the league imo.

We shouldn't be worrying about how many extra rest days Warry have had, stuff like that shouldn't be on the agenda.

3x5th tackle penalties should be a concern though, I bet Radford was livid at the time, on another day could have cost us, just need to keep thinking and not give the ref an excuse especially early in the season.
Epic defence by us and long may it continue.

Home advantage should balance extra rest day but big ask to beat Wire, unlike today I think it will be a close game with winning margin probably no more than 6 points. We need to win our home games, when you look at the next few fixtures it makes you realise how tough the comp is with just 12 teams

Next Five
Wire H
Salford A
Leeds H
Wigan A
Catalan H

Anyone know when sky/bbc will be showing highlights?

The Super League show is on tomorrow night on BBC1 and repeated Tuesday lunch on BBC2.

Ellis was again a beast. Beauty is tho we've now mini to match it on the far side. With Sa n pryce the right side looks very tough attacking and defensively. Having that balance will help us imo. Now we've a real 7 with brains n a kicking game n a big mouth organiser in Pryce we'll win a lot more of them tight games we lost Last yr.
Also we seem as good if not maybe better defensively than last yr. Combined with the sheer physical size we have now we'll always be hard to beat. Lot of positives today but another is strength in depth. Worried about Sa but Michaels can come in and based on today can't see Rankin taking shauls spot yet. Like rankin a lot but he'd probably not have scored either of them tries.

I nearly didnt go but so glad I did, for anyone that didnt go you missed a great performance and if we produce that friday night we will win again.

Not sure how many that stand holds, but it was only the draped areas which were unoccupied. Still, a great following.

Fair play to Hull team and the following. Cracking numbers and loud when in song.

Did the basics well, were clinical when it mattered and outmuscled us consistantly. Ellis in particular was a beast. We didn't handle him all game.

Have a good season, apart from when we play you next obviously.

Good win for you guys, fully deserved we were awful and never once threatened your line.

Good turnout too about 1,800-2000 of you ...not seen that many from Humberside for a long time.

Cheers, enjoyable afternoon for once. Caught you cold, no doubt, but we'll take it. Radford runs a textbook pre season friendly campaign.

Don`t know if its been mentioned, but all Sky pundits had a Hudds win. Good to prove `em wrong.

1800 would be selling us short to honest. I believe that stand holds 4000 plus. To say it was much less than half full would of been stretching it a bit.

Makes it seem there were more hudds fans there though

We sold 1700 tickets up to yesterday so I think there were well over 2000 fans there maybe 2500. I thought from the start that the Giants didn't seem up for it. However you can only beat what's in front of you and I thought we were well organised and well disciplined throughout. It was a very efficient and professional performance and once ahead we never looked like losing.

I'd have to say 2500 as a minimum based on it being a 4000+stand.

Well done on the win it's always good to nil opponents on their own patch, to be fair we weren't up to much but you still had far too much in every department .
Good turnout from you lot but nowhere near the 4000 that's been claimed, the capacity of the stand was just over 3000 and you didn't fill it I reckon 2500 ish good effort though

That stand only holds 4000 in total, and both ends were covered up. There were just over 2000 in my estimation, but a great away following all the same. And when there was a sniff of a win they ramped up the sound, I just wish we could take the same size away following.

The Pink stand holds over 4000 and is divided into 6 sections. The two end sections which are the smallest (being the ends of the curvature) were covered (why?). The four middle and largest sections were full (see Mrs Barista's uplifting photo on the earlier page). There were at least 2500 Hull fans and more probably nearer 3000 in that stand alone, not counting those in other stands.

Hudds have apparently sold about 4000 season tickets so 3000 sounds about right of the declared attendance.

I like Hudds a lot and I'm sorry it seems so difficult to get the volumes you deserve. Really can't understand it tbh.

Tries are on here from 6mins 30secs.

In reply to WormInHand the people of Huddersfield just aren't interested in watching the giants.. We have tried everything as a club,as fans to get people to come but the interest isn't there..it doesn't help either when the local paper dedicates most sports column inches to Huddersfield town and premier league football the giants get a short match report and a few quotes whereas the football team gets a whole 10page centre page spread!

Also we lost generations of fans when we were crap and its those lost generations we struggle to attract now

In most places that host super league the game is bred into people and passed down from generation to generation in hull especially it's ingrained into most families cultures in Huddersfield there is no such thing it simply isn't a rugby town
