As expected really with the amount of players drafted in to the 17. The first half looked liked we’d not played together and understandable plus we were really lacking size and Huddersfield used that advantage. 2nd half I thought we regrouped well and stuck at it and tired Huddersfield’s middles with English missing. Thought Reynolds certainly made a difference particularly with little go forward when Sao was off. He was also great with the younger players giving them advice at every opportunity. Sneyd did ok too considering the lack of any real platform being laid by the forwards and the slow ptb when we did due to Huddersfield laying on and Moore allowing it.
All in all it was a determined and spirited team effort and all that we could have asked for.
Hope we didn’t pick up any injuries as Ma’u seem to struggle for most of 2nd half and Reynolds seem to pull up very near the end.
Hope McIntosh is ok and not a serious injury.
As for Jones well I think we can safely say we dodged a bullet there with Huddersfield taking him, he is awful and I don’t think he got onside once. Maybe he was struggling with the length of the journey to Hull on the team bus, who knows.
Great effort by the both sides considering and pleased we dug deep and got the 2pts. Before BH came in we’d certainly not have recovered from 10-0 down we’d have folded and chucked the towel but certainly not now.
Credited to all involved tonight.
