The linesman intervened in the first half which resulted in us getting a penalty. Only once though.

Thought both sides made too many mistakes. We had the first half and Wire the second. I was hoping we would continue the second half playing well but we just kept dropping the ball trying to barge through.

I would have kicked the penalty just before half time. As the game panned out, points were at a premium and pressure would have been on Wire to score. They know how solid our defence is and maybe they would then have been forced into making errors. A couple of times at 10-10 in the second half near their posts a couple of drop goals would have added to that pressure.

Well done Wire for the win but as pointed out, hopefully we will both be there abouts come play off time.

Great game. Both sides play well and will both be there or there abouts come the playoffs. Was impressed with Kevin Brown today for hudds, looked dangerous everytime he had ball in hand.

Unlucky hudds and good luck this season.

Agree

Thought Aspers did really well but would like to see Horne show a bit more urgency. He was too casual for me and at times the entire team were a bit stand off-ish and casual with the defenisve line pushing.

In a way I thought we were outneedled. What with Morley and his usual lazy arm, Westwood and Higham looking to kick off with anyone that was near him it put us off a bit. We kind of missed Mason for what he would do in retort but that's not to say Patrick didn't play his part because he did.

For them I thought Carvell had one or two real blockbusting runs, King did well and I thought that in general they defended really well.

A tough game that could have gone either way. A lot of the game was played in the forwards but that was always to be expected in a close game on a heave pitch.
I agree Kevin Brown had a great first half but the rest of our playmakers were not at their best.
Gilmour Patrick Faiumu Apinwall Cudjoe and Raleigh all had good games. However one or two of our better players did not play their best today. Crabtree has to do more. After his first drive he did very little. He should be giving the Giants the same sort of go forward that Carvell gave to Warrington.
Not too disppointed though as it was a close game and Warrington are a good team.

also missed was i think it was brown chinning myler and hudd defused the bomb in goal and smith gave us the scrum didn't have aclue he was awful for both teams

That was an odd decision - Hudds diffused the bomb in-goal and the ref gave a drop out.

Smith was errrr, unpredictable today but it didn't affect the result in hindsight.

He also missed Higham kicking off with anything within a farts sniff of him. Has his wife done a Terry with one of our lads or something?

Was Mather blood binned near the beginning, because the ref was waving his arm around, but he never actually went off? Did it count as one of their interchanges? Seemed odd.

He got shown the blood bin card but didn't go off. Bit farcical the ref allowing him to stay on after that, especially with the Wire physio taking an absolute eternity to make his mind up whether or not he should go on!

I thought Wire thoroughly deserved the win myself. We didn't show the urgency we've been used to seeing from our boys under Nathan Brown. I'm also starting to think maybe Lawrence should have a few run outs in the reserves cos although he's good in defence, he very rarely offers anything in attack. Can't remember the last time I saw him break a tackle. I wasn't too chuffed to see Aspy in the team but he showed decent leg drive in the tackle. Patrick impressed me as always. It's not often I say it after a loss but I thought the ref was ok today.

What a great bunch of fans you are - I wish you all the best for the rest of the season. A fab day out today and so many good wishes from your supporters on the way out.

agree with this good luck hudds for the rest of the year you won`t be far off. see you in the play offs!

Game could have gone either way ,i actually thought the Giants got the 50/50 calls today ,really good old fashioned arm wrestle of a game ,pity there had to be a winner ,also great set of Wire fans in the Gas club after the game

The Gasworks club has to be one of the best venues in the UK for a pint before or after the rugby, but last time I was there (Four Nations) there were signs up saying it was threatened with closure as no-one was going. Hudds fans should rally round and spend a few Saturday nights there to ensure it survives.
