As a bulls fan, I would have liked to come on here and said you were outclassed last night and it was hard to highlight a man of the match for you lot. HOWEVER, i am becoming more and more impressed with the quality of footy you lot play.
I think Lunt is an outstanding youngster who I would have loved to see Bulls bring in.
Raleigh looked solid down the middle, tireless worker.
But Brett Hodgeson clearly was the main last night.........even if he did mess up his try scoring opportunity!

Lunt laid the Fa'alogo try on a platter and scored one himself, was outstanding around the rucks.

I do think Lunt had a good game but it was what we exspected from him now he's the 1st choice 9, for me the M.O.M would have to be Kevin Brown, out with a injurie for a good part of last year and came into this game unphased, he was at the heart of everyting thought his link play was just stunning and his defence was terrier like.
so this weeks 1,2,3 -
1 - K Brown. 2 - Lunt (need to be nice to him now my mate is his sponsor, and he sponsors my lads team as well!) 3 - Cudjoe
Interseting looking at the stats to see who worked hardest in defence and attack. the Giants made a lot of tackles but no one really made any big yardage.
top five meters made
1) David Hodgson 100 2) Eorl Crabtree 92 3)Andy Raleigh 82 4) Darrell Griffin 79 5) David Faiumu 78
top five tacklers
1) Shaun lunt 39 2) Lee Gilmour 33 3) Luke Robinson 30 4) Jamahl Lolesi 27 5) David Faalogo 24
3-Lunty, Tackle machine and opportunist, superb close range try again. England no 9
2-Raleigh, Worked his socks off and never took a backward step , put his body on the line time after time
1-Brett, Captain's knock, set up Leroy for 2 walk in tries, never seems out of position, after Ganson's decisions alot of captains would have flipped but not Mr cool, an inspirational leader of Giants.
The whole team played well and to defend for 20 mins with 1 man down they were fantastic, Leroy very unlucky not to be in my 3.
Great start
If i was to marry, i dont know if i ought to, if i would, if i should , i'd marry a Prop's daughter, she'd go down, i'd go down, we'd all go down together, we'd be alright in the middle of the night going down together!!
