Quote: "need to win the ruck, turn hull players on their backs in the tackle.. if we dont and they get quick play the balls they could run riot with houghton and heramaia.. with westerman out the back.'"

You were spot on with that , exactly what you feared would happen.

The game was lost for you once you gave the soft tries away at the start. You were in quicksand at that point and never recovered.

Some credit has to go to Hull though. They were at 100% completion rate quite a long way into the 2nd half. I thought they played really well.

My favourite bit (with the hindsight of knowing e's OK) was the part where Bailey got knocked out in a tackle and his own team mate helpfully shoved his head into the turf to make sure. Sort of summed up the first half for Hudds in a way.

I wonder if Mr Grix has any idea where that little meltdown came from? Seemed a bit out of character?

To be fair Grix has really sorted himself out this season and moments of madness have been far and few between but the crowd certainly got to him last night and I am sure it was just a blip.

Goto say why doesn't grix run the ball back! It's not that hull got into him he does it 9 times out of 10! Wether it's jerry or Jodie the winger always gets that offload from him after collecting a kick!

Just curious not criticising! Would be great to see him running back hard at the line like hardaker, Russell ect!

yep anywhere near 100% completion rate and your going a long way to win the game... simple really!

he's not that type of player, broughton and mcgillvary are strong ball runners so no problem really for me.

grix is great at organising the defence and backing up.

would love a russell or hardaker type full back though..russell looks like a future star
