Hudds are very professional. They are masters of the grubby side of the game and the dark arts. Much like Wigan. So they will always find it easy against part time teams who try to employ similar tactics to take speed out of the game, and do it much better in return.

Cahalane looks a decent unit who won't be knocked about. Jury is still out on Place. He looked slow and unfit and detached from the action, and kicking from deep was appalling. Hopefully it is just the climate shock and he will come good with better weather

Agree re. Place I thought all his kicks lacked distance.

To be fair to Place he had so little time when kicking its not surprise his kicking wasnt the best, he will get much more time against lower opposition and his kicking against KR looked more than decent.

Great match report thanks Danny

Not a problem mate. Will be back for when Sheffield visit The Shay, expecting a tough battle if yesterday was anything to go by.

He did well for the opening stages of the first half when Fax were pressuring Giants. Some good grubbers on occasions but his intercepted pass to Cudjoe seemed to knock his confidence a bit. As people have said, he'll get better in time and him and Johnston may strike up a good partnership for the future.

Most of it has been said, could have done with the full 10 yards to give us a bit more room to play.

Probably the biggest disappointment was the how we lost our way in the early stages of the second half for a long period.

Too many back to back unforced errors which gave us no ball to build anything on.

We stuck with it and kept going to the end with some good individual performances in and among.

Shame we couldn't get another game n before the season starts.
