Absolutely buzzing after that, some real resilience from the whole side. Didn’t use two of our subs in the first 60 minutes which shows Tony smith really doesn’t rate the squad. For me, the big bits:
Houghton showed he still does offer a lot. Defended like a man on a mission and showed he can have a scamper when needed.
Litten, kids still so raw but oozes class. Does so much right but there was the silly offload that nearly cost us and getting caught on 5th. Do think when we have a fully fit side he’ll have a season or 2 on the wing before becoming our main man.
Clifford, don’t know why some fans don’t seem to rate him. First half I’ve seen at hull for a long while that can control a game, kick well and take on line. He’s the Full package and Huddersfield knew it. Kept trying to get at him and was unphased
The pack. Unreal. Ligi was obviously sent out to get into Hill and that’s exactly what he did. Spent first 20 mins just whacking him for fun. Satae, no one wanted to tackle and tag actually upped the intensity when he came on.
Gardner worked hard when came on but I’m not sure he’s 100% ready yet. Think pace was a lot quicker than reserves and got caught out a square once or twice.
I thought griffin was having a very good game, but I’m a bit concerned his career could be over. Looked like they were testing his ACL
A long way to go but 2 points is 2 points
