What a game of RL we witnessed yesterday and it had it all in 80 mins ,interceptions, near comebacks, cracking tries ,crunching tackles, and a nail biting ending to boot . Well worth the admission fee to see the underdogs come out on top in a pulsating game .

At 26-22 I was bricking it, good test of nerves for the lads to hold on but please can we not have another finish like this?
My old ticker can't take many more of them.

I think we'd have finished most teams off yesterday.
Warrington apparently had players missing - so did we of course but that doesn't count in press reports - but they still had enough quality on the pitch to do the job, but they weren't allowed to. Our defence was superb.
For once the pack, I thought, was dominant. Fifita had his best game for ages and Eddie Battye had a great game, but the outstanding one in the pack for me was Pitts. He's been a very shrewd signing.

What a fantastic and unexpected victory, with some superb tries thrown in for good measure.
Fifita and Lino were outstanding but every player stood up and was counted.
The wobble at 22 - 18 brought back the "Huddersfield feeling" but, this time we got over the line.

For 65 minutes against top opposition we were faultless.

Well played boys !

It was yusef aydin who got back to make that tackle on ratchford fantastic effort

I still don't understand why Aydin still only plays 10 minutes a game, one game he never came on. I know we are trying to introduce him slowly to first team football, but strange nevertheless.

Again press make it out to be a week Wires team ,Well to me all there big hitters were on the park ,.We were playing our second string centres ,who both went well .Makes you wonder how some of these top coaches would go on with a budget like ours.

But is he the most consistent like some say.? No for me.millers job is to provide scoring opportunities which he doesnt do constantly.we dont exactly score alot of tries do we yes fantastic result today really proud of the lads but we only created 2trys (one great one)2 of them where given to us and despite a 20 pts lead with 15 to go we held on to win by goalkicks

And watch the game back from last week when we where in control ryan was doing most of kicking and forcing errors and making hudds turn there backs then the ball started going to miller and he was kicking down there throats and giving them easy ball return and the game started to change.im not knocking him esp his effort but our most consistent player is joe or jay by far

We just have a fantastic win - against all odds and you are still moaning ffs.
1-17 were excellent and thoroughly deserved the victory. It would have been an absolute travesty if they'd have won.

They will still have had a salary cap busting side out there. Widdop, Austin, Williams and Hill will take care of a huge chunk of the salary cap.
