Overview

  • Huddersfield Giants overturned pre-match odds to beat Hull FC 30-14 at the MKM Stadium despite Hull entering as 2/11 favourites.
  • Winger Lewis Martin scored a hat-trick to take his season tally to 23 tries, but Hull’s defensive errors and conceded ‘soft’ tries proved decisive.
  • The defeat drops Hull outside the Super League top six with seven regular-season rounds remaining, placing their play-off bid in jeopardy.
  • Hull have thrived as underdogs this season but displayed a recurring pattern of faltering when burdened with favourite status.
  • John Cartwright cited on-field mistakes and soft tries for the loss while rejecting any mentality issues after pre-match warnings on discipline and mindset.
