Nathan Brown column: Complaints are a sign the Giants are winning!

Apr 16 2009 by Chris Roberts, Huddersfield Daily Examiner

You must have been delighted with the way the two games went over Easter?

Yes, obviously.

You can’t really ask for anything more than to win both your games.

Against Celtic Crusaders on Good Friday, it certainly wasn’t one of our better performances, although I really do believe the opposition deserve a great deal of credit for the way they played.

In the first half they held us up over the line three times and Kev Brown lost the ball over the tryline because of the number of people they had around him.

So, in that sense, they contributed to us for not being that great.

I also thought we looked pretty comfortable throughout the game and played like a team that was always confident of winning.

It’s also possible some of us were thinking ahead to the game against Hull KR on the Monday.

We certainly rested a couple of players against the Crusaders so they were fresh for the trip to Hull, and I was pleased with the results.

Everyone kept telling me how tough it is to win at Hull KR, so to win there was very pleasing indeed.

And it took a good effort to get there.

We had a bit of a slow start and then lost Liam Fulton, who was playing at stand-off, early on. We were already down on a few blokes in key positions, with Kev Brown and Scotty Moore being rested, but the way the guys adjusted to the new roles was very good.
