I think the lack of attacking play was tactical, we attempted to kick early in our sets and pin Huddersfield in their own 20 and keep things as simple as possible. That combined with our two usual attacking options Manu and Tickle being absolutely knackered and not at their best meant we offered little attacking threat.

Doesn't matter does it. the fact is they weren't playing therefore other players played instead, players who would normally be 2nd choice to the guys who weren't playing .....yes you were weakened but if you think you have just been beaten by our strongest possible line up you are way off the mark !!

Gonna be interesting when they meet Mr O'Donnell next Sunday !!!!! Lynch Tickle and Radford running at Robinson all match Manu at Brough. Mindst Fa'alago sickened them with some brutal tackles in the last 20 and LOD's are more often worse !!!!!

I cannot understand people missing out Robbos contribution.

His tackling was immense i look forward to seeing his stats tomorrow.

He even knocked out two Hull players.

If you could put his heart into a bigger body how good would he be.

And Danny Brough today too !! Lots of tackling with Manu running at him. Thought Molloy had a good game too !!!!

yes you are or you wouldnt have mentioned it and well done huddersfield same again next week please

i agree with durham. robbo had to come on when lee got injured and play the full match. had to make many tackles as he was a target all game and still had the energy in attack brilliant peformance.

our defence is the best in superleague and had won us alot of games this season when our attack has not been able to get going

thought hull put in a good effort. their defence is very good, thought they missed richard horne in attack.

shall be a good game next week deffo need to play alot better than 2day

I was sat watching the match and wondering again what Robbo has done to MacBanana to be ignored for a test jumper.

Sorry, only 2nd best - to Hull.

And the 3rd best attack [Wigan & Catalans].

2nd best points difference [Wigan].

Travis is right. Giants concede an average of 15.45 pts per game while Hull concede 16.2 points per game.

Great defensive performance which built the platform for the eventual win, but by eck it was hard work getting there. Knock-on-a-thon doesn't quite come close.
Sensible husbandry of squad resources by Brown, and a subtle tactical switch which blunted Hull's attempts to play a territorial, percentage game - an understandable plan given the tough game they had on Friday. Seymour was kicking deep and early to the flanks. Dropping Murphy back to a second full-back on the opposite side to Eden nullified that and forced Hull down the middle where they got no change from a terrific pack of forwards.
Michael Lawrence was absolutely outstanding. Not seen the stats, but if he missed a tackle I'll be very surprised.

Just for clarity are you in someway upset that our middle unit ran the ball in down the middle where Robinson was defending? Much like Crabtree running at Houghton in fact.

Agree. He has only played a few games in the back row. He has a brilliant attitude and I can only see him getting better.

Oh go on then!

Will be a totally different game in the cup guys, you can guarantee that, wouldn't like to predict a winner though.
