Crusaders, like all Nobby coached teams, were well up for this game and totally out enthused Huddersfield all game
The Giants tactics were frankly baffling to me, did the forwards take a single drive up in the first 40?It all seemed to be the backs and thats why we struggled, especially against a defence allowed to lay on and creep offside. As soon as the forwards joined in at the start of the second we looked like a team that was going to score easily.
But, MOM for me was Sammut, the guy ran everything for Crusaders and some of his defence was brilliant. Kinda reminds me of Stan
Our MoM was Robbo, for the same reasons, I think Bret was very poor in attack today, though his defence was impeccable - though he is let off for having the nouce to place the ball down in play before he got dragged out of play.
I'd love to see the replay because the ref seemed to be making things up to me at times.
Crabtree was immense for us, and some of Brough's kicks were superb - especially the kick off that nearly landed on the corner flag to get us a scrum.
