In a life time of watching Rugby league and indeed the club you love you milestone your life with the BIG games the ones that stand out in your life and that rather like certain songs bring back times gone by old feelings and great memories. Yet when you revisit those games like the replay at Elland Road in 1982 the win at Cardiff in 2005, that dramatic Tickle drop goal win against Saints, and even the great great 2016 2017 life changing moments you realise, that they are usually scattered with controversial decisions, strange choices, stupid mistakes and head scratching options. Last nights game was no different but the crass performance of officials who with poor inconsistent decision making and un-necessary long breaks deliberating something that is obvious to everyone there or watching at home, certainly tried its best to spoil it all. But my it didn't did it!!! Even when I watched it back in the early hours. What an experience that was! That last tackle play of the game after the hooter had gone was sheer endeavour and last ditch heroism.  


Us old timers, remember those great games for the handful of things that the ardent long suffering fan crave and that is the drama of it all, the vision of how far the club has moved out of adversity the pride you feel at the end of such encounters and the elation an unlikely final outcome and hope for the future brings for a short while to your life. Those are the thing that live in your memory and burn bright. To witness what we did last night after some of the heartbreaking and indeed humiliating stuff we saw last year, was a tonic for us all. 


 Draws have always been a rare occurrence and are often seen by many (and some on here ) as a point lost as in the 1982 Wembley Final but just occasionally as a well earned point as in the 0-0 draw against the odds, just after we had sacked our coach, against Halifax in the Cup semi final in 1988 (only to be beaten 3-4 in the replay). However, they are, certainly since Golden Point was introduced, a very rare thing. 


Fact was last night we have come so far so quickly as far as pride and wanting is concerned that I was simply elated at the final hooter and it almost seemed to me like a win. People left the game with their chests puffed out smiling and reliving the sheer all embracing escapism of it all. I was so proud of the lads last night. Yes we can improve but there a basic building blocks every improving team needs and that starts with passion heart and a well organised and drilled defence. Once you have that you can start looking at the fineries of attacking play but the change in the attitude out there now is almost unbelievable. No one shirked anything. Players derided on here as not good enough when signed like Cust and Borough were massive, we had size again in the pack and two wingers who carried the ball up the middle time and again when bodies flagged. And, Props and second rowers were out of the line to charge down drop goal attempts. Plus, we have a proper scrum half at last, tons of quality youth coming through and a group of players who see that crowd, see their wanting and get it.  The fans like last week got us home last night and all we all want is that passion whatever the outcome. I loved it! 


There's a long way to go and there will be plenty of disappointments and who knows it may all fall apart but with the off field team we now have (try and watch it back just for John Cartwright's reactions to the big points in the game as he lives it all as we all do) we are a different animal at present.All his mates back home texting him to congratulate his efforts so far afterwards must have made him proud.  Thanks Hull Fc for a really great experience a great night of drama and a mammoth effort; long may it continue.  

(Sorry, First my posts have no spaces in them when I try to write in paragraphs now they are massive..... baffling)    

Said the same on Thursday, he reads the opposition attacks very well, shuts down plays with strong contact. Also been impressed with the way he injects himself into the line with the ball, shows a decent turn of pace. Got caught a few times on 4th tackle though. 

Sezers injury record wasn't too bad at Leeds, was much worst at Hudds.

Didn't he make the dream team while at Hudds. 

Yep, despite only playing 17 games, so did Toby King

Yes, in 2020, his first year at the Giants. In 2021 he injured his ankle playing for the Combined Nations All Stars in the June and missed the rest of the season.


He missed about ten weeks in 2022 for Leeds and in 2023 he played most weeks but missed the Grand Final due to a HIA after a high shot from John Bateman in the semi.
