Hull to steal our 2nd spot? : Fri Mar 06, 2009 10:00 pm  

They are putting a decent run together, their pack is enormous and so is their squad.

Has my idea of us waltzing quietly into 2nd headed into (Gateshead Thunder) Shark infested waters?

Huddersfield were pretty poor tonight , dropped a ton of ball. Hull should have had it sewn up first half hour. I dont think they are top 2 material over the course of a full season.

I think Huddersfield will finish above Hull this season.

I think Huddersfield are better than they were tonight. They had their equivalent of our game against Hull KR (where we weren't so good on keeping hold of the ball or getting over the tryline). Hull had their moments but they were seriously assisted by Huddersfield's mistakes. Only the two missed conversions separated them at the end, which is probably a fair reflection given that Hudds played poorly in the first half. Nice to hear on the red button Nathan Brown saying good things about Scott Moore. How that guy has changed since leaving Castleford!

Hull look like a top-six side but certainly not a top-two side.

I was quite impressed with Scott Moore tonight. Is he back at Saints next year? I know we keep hearing he is groomed to be KC's replacement but what contract is he on?

Agreed. Hull looked dangerous nearly every time they were near Hudds line in the first half and should have had at least one or two other scores to their name at half-time. Still conceding soft tries though which could very easily be the difference between a win and a loss against a well-drilled side not making countless errors or playing crap like Huddersfield generally did tonight.

I agree, he looked like a clone ok Kez at times tonight. Great prospect and got a mention off his coach at the end as being one of the few with the right attitude tonight.
