I assumed you were disagreeing with my assessment of huddersfield when you were claiming I was belittling Hull's win when I said huddersfield were poor.

| Huddersfield didn't play well, were below par, didn't turn up, or whatever, because we played well and didn't allow them to get into the game.
The opposite, belittling view, is that we won because they were poor.

| Agree with the above. Hate seeing people always say 'xxxxxx played poor'. Hudds were poor because we played well. Aggressive defence and hard running completely wore them down. I admit the short turnaround don't help, but our forwards made the most of that and fatigued them even more.

So now you are saying they were below par? 2 posts ago you were picking me up for suggesting you were so make your mind up.
Fact is huddersfield were below par which is what I said and now you seem to be agreeing with me but you're suggesting it's purely down to Hull's performance which seems highly unlikely to me. More likely it's a mix of a decent performance from us, particularly early on, and hudds suffering a challenge cup hangover and continuance of their generally poor early season form.
I've already said Hull were good in patches but I also think there were parts of the game (pretty much co-incided with paea, carvell and houghton being off the field) when we weren't that great.
I call games how I see them and feel free to disagree. Plenty do but over time I'm generally proved right

Yeah but what I actually said has been blown out of proportion. I merely said that some people have been getting carried away with a decent enough win but against a poor hudds side. I'm happy to stand by that and it's a criticism of the posters, not the team who I thought were much better than they have been for most of the season

That's not what you were querying though is it?
Anyway, who cares about semantics. Your assertion that huddersfield were below par purely because Hull didn't allow them to be anything else is nonsensical. Certainly a big contributory factor but if they'd been as good as they were last season no way would we have had such a comfortable win no matter how well we played

And conversely if Hull had been as poor as they were last season, then Huddersfield would have won, so credit to Hull for upping their game.

Indeed, which is what I've said but huddersfield haven't been very good for most of this season

So you acknowledge I didn't say it then? Go to bed mate, it will all make sense in the morning and I'll happily accept an apology by PM
