Well done today Giants, well deserved and looking forward to the cup game!

An absolutely cracking game today, Hulls defence was awesome but had to crack under the relentless preassure

Either way that first half was pure RL class
Crabtree was immense.

Great defensive game and lots of handling mistakes all added to a super game. Next week is the biggy!!!

error strwen game, never got going!!

but always looked the more likely winners and knew hull would tire the last 20mins

bring on next week , same again

top of the league

lost lee early on, robinson did a massive stint

2300 hull fans. decent turnout and added to a decent atmosphere at times.
1st try was important as i said whoever got it would win. Hull offered nothing in attack but were a hard nut to crack defensively but once we got the 1st there was only gonna be one winner.

I thought Hull FC defended superbly. Their line speed was excellent and, as the cliché goes, the really played for each other.

Thankfully the pressure told in the end. I thought it was going to be one of those days but we showed composure and resilience. What I liked the most though was our own line speed at 79mins. We flew off the line like it was minute 1, I was proud to follow the boys today. They couldn't have done anything more to impress me than what they did.

Brough MoM IMO. Did it all. Takes tackling as a personal challenge. Has his needle but controls it, which NB has managed superbly. He has developed into a great, great player with maturity. Big licks also to Eorl, Chan, Murphy for his composure, Grix for persistence and Robbo for being the wee man who sparked two Hull inadvertently and got Eorl to check him for blood!

Best team on the day won. Thought we (Hull) defended superbly well but offered very little with ball in hand unfortunately. Hopefully with a weeks rest and Moa back to beef up the front row the CC game will be a lot closer in terms of the scoreline. We are still very much a work in progress and have a long way to go but it's nice to just go to games and see your team really play for each other with an outstanding work ethic. It's also good to see Hudds up there challenging and good luck for the rest of the season after we knock you out of the challenge cup.

I thought it was a great game in its own way. Too many mistakes but it is easy to ignore the constant drizzle when you're sat in the stand and end up not taking it into account.

As I said earlier I thought Hull FC defended superbly and the attitude is the key thing. It's why they all harp on about playing for each other etc but it really is key. They didn't ever threaten our line IMO but ultimately they played Rovers on Friday and we had an easier ride in comparison, no disrespect to Salford but on the day they didn't play to their best.

Two good sides today, tactical battles, bit of blood, both of us will be there at he business end for sure.

giants deserved the win today, we ran out of steam and that showed in the end and our attack, although 22-4 looks like a good beating it certainly wasn't!

round two next week (hopefully with a better referee!)

although I enjoyed the game, I felt it was a shame that Hull had so many missing and the conditions were so wet. Hull and Hudds first choice line-ups going head to head in good conditions would be one hell of a battle/game! Lets hope we see this when you visit the KC in the summer.

I thought Hudds were easily the best side we have played this season, and don't look deserving of top spot on current form.

What was wrong with the way Child reffed the game ?, said as much after that he policed the 10 very well today and generally was excellent on much of the game play, touch judges were inconsistent to say the least.

Thought Childs did exceptionally well today. One of the best displays this season. [Even though Hull were offside at every PTB.]

Childs made a couple of howlers but nothing that made him stick out as particularly bad. Bear in mind the last ref we saw was Hicks who, frankly, was utter gash.

Just for clarity Dave, every side at every PTB is offside mate.

Compared to Hicks, hes the best ref there has ever been.

Hey up what about tha lad then?
