A good win last night but far too close on the scoreboard for my liking. The territorial and posession advantage we had in the 1st half should have seen us 20 points in front by half time. We still look too easy to defend against in the opposition 20 and struggle to unlock defences without a kick. We have 2 excellent runners in Mau and Tickle but we're not using them effectively near the line. Hopefully Agar and Sharp are looking at it but we don't really look much better close to the line than we have for the last 2 or 3 seasons

id be just as worried about the ease with which huddersfield scored on the few occasions they had the ball near hull line

all three tries were off hull mistakes

why dont we ever learn STOP LAYING ON

every team makes mistakes that cost ground though, it doesnt excuse conceding tries without anyone laying a hand on the scorer though

We would of been well clear at half time if it wasnt for some dodgy reffing decisions

didnt see nothing wrong with the ref tbh

Apart from the three massive errors he made where we should have had possession on their line you mean?

That said, we still had more than enough possession and pressure to have won by 20 points or more. Something that needs to be addressed.

Thorman ran a bit more last night and set up 2 trys...so looking good there.

If we are doing that after a dozen matches then i would be worried...even Sts and Leeds arent firing yet as we are only 4 games in........but 4/4 and attack room for improvement.....that will do for me.

me too old bean

tis states we have currently scored the most points, so cant be all that bad

Pah...stats...you cant believe them can you.

Oh aye - I won't be pushing the panic button or anything like that. Would just be nice to have a comfortable win for a change.

I agree that we should have won the game by a bigger margin, but disagree with the point I have highlighted in bold.

We are by no means the finished article, but I think we look far more dangerous with the ball in hand, and last night I thought we looked threatening every time we got near the shudds 20. We came up with several plays straight from the scrum when deep in their territory, and Radford should really have scored. There were two occasions when we managed to ship the ball out wide to Calderwood, and had he been deeper, he could have taken greater advantage of the overlap and again possibly come up with a score or two. Berrigan always looks dangerous when close to the opposition line, and a few better timed runs from the second rowers will see points produced. Also, Moa went very close, and on first impressions looks like he could be used as a battering ram when close to the line.

Got to say as well that I think two shudds tries were questionable. Briscoe was clearly hit whilst in the air by a player not playing at the ball for the first try. And their first try of the second half was forward from Hodgson (the ginger one) imo.

Berrigan made an excellent point that its only a handful of games that he, Thorman and Horne have all played together. Im confident that they will gel and we will start to really hammer certain teams, its good to be winning games when they have a minimal understanding of each others games currently.
