I would be very worried if I was a Hudds fan after that one. Wakey also looking in trouble. You’d want some momentum coming into these last five games.

Cuthbo inevitably playing better now that he has some big boys around him in the pack. Dwyer good impact from the bench and no brain farts from being fatigued. Myler went okay when his team is on top as he has done all his career. Hicks let them do what they wanted in the tackle but at least for once he wasn't on our case right from the kick off. Great support as always at Giants and could it be that the team performs better away with less pressure on them? Finally thanks to McIntosh for the extra motivation (if it was needed): https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/9636334/ ... y-complex/

Great result and credit to the guys for putting on a quality performance. Defence was awesome. Let’s have another performance like this at Headingley next Friday, no more one good game, two bad games, now is the time for consistency and more effort. If they want us to renew our season tickets for next season ( and they will ) then let’s see the effort until the end of the season and see more games with the same effort as last night. This season we have seen too many false dawns only to be be let down following the next game, let’s have a good finish to the end of the season

What I would observe though is that watching NRL sides, the whole team is in movement together AS a team. The ball carrier often has various options and it keeps defenders guessing. The shape is far superior to SL.
We still have a tendency to give it to the Big Lad and expect him to run through the opposition team; which sometimes works (Hurrell) but is pretty exhausting.
We looked good last night because for once we won the energy battle. Most weeks we’re gassed because we lack structure and then cough up silly penalties and errors on top of that.
Ferres was very good last night but still two soft cheaty penalties conceded when we could have done without it.
When Curhbo plays well we look a different side: but is this transformation truly just down to a change in coach and one new prop..? Maybe.

I've seen glaciers move faster than hudds were clearing the ruck last night. Quite why they thought it'd still play in their favour when four scores behind, I'm not sure. But Hicks was consistent in that both sides were at it and he let it go in the main.
