That's pretty much the team is want to see.
Hubys go forward has been conspicuous in its absence, He doesn't attack the line hard enough for me, he slows down every time he gets to the line whilst looking to get the ball away. I'd like to see him run full pelt!

Huby isnt that type of prop forward, hes more a ball playing prop abit like what sculthorpe was for us too.

mullally, kopczak, taai are the battering ram types

crabtree is still our top metre maker in the forwards on 1215

huby second on 1119

taai 3rd 1108

kopczak 4th 1050

at castleford huby was the main go forward man, a battering ram who was able to scatter defenders and get offloads away and was a thorn in our side every time we played them, he ran hard, fast and straight.
i know it's probably our tactics but to me he is used a ball playing prop in the mould of graham, we need him to make the big carries and get us on the front foot, let him run from deep and bust holes in the opposition lines, only mullally looks like doing this at the moment.

There seems to be an opinion that Huby has not been the same player as he was at Castleford. The truth though is he has never been a strong ball carrier. His strenghts are his offloading skills and his defence and workrate. However in the last 4 seasons this is his average metrers per carry.
2014 6.05
2013 6.47
2012 5.55
2011 5.97
So it is not the Giants that have slowed down his go forward.

Be interesting to see how broughton goes tonight now he gets another chance and a different centre inside of him

Re: Castleford V Huddersfield (Thursday) : Thu May 21, 2015 7:53 pm  

Have to laugh about how the youngsters can do no wrong and the criticism of some of the Giants senior players. Let's see what is said about Connors effort in Castleford's first try tonight. Still think he is a great talent but is full of errors in attack and defence at the moment.

Neither him nor Connor really saw any of the ball. Very 1 dimensional tonight, we just went straight up the middle. Don't think we really offered much, but we got the rub of the green we seem to have been without for the first few weeks of the season.

Still too many errors. Still lots of room for improvement
