SAINTS boss Justin Holbrook declined to single out individuals after seeing his team make it three wins in eight days.

Despite losing Ben Barba ahead of the game and James Roby during it, Saints were dominant and scored a 26-12 triumph.

Holbrook said: “I thought we played really well and it was a good win.

“When you play your third game in eight days, you need everyone to play well and I thought they did that. All our forwards were really strong.

"To ask them to do what they have done already and do it in the fashion they did, was fantastic.

“It was a good sign from our boys that after a tough Friday they wanted to back up on Monday and then come through one more tough assignment tonight.

“I’m proud of them.

“Hull are a very dangerous attacking side and they never went away. They have real strike.

"They scored against the run of play when we could have dropped on the ball – but there was a bit of NFL. We held on in there.”

He gave his first thoughts on Roby's injury, but looked on the positive side in the opportunity it provided for Matty Smith who slotted in well at nine.

“James Roby is sore – it could be a rib or rib cartilage, which is always painful. It’s too early to tell but it would be a big ask to back up next week, although we do have a nine-day turnaround which will feel like six months.

"Matty Smith was excited to get the opportunity and I thought he went well for us.

“He only found out he would play after lunch today. Ben (Barba) was ill and could have played but it was a good sign for the rest of the team to play as well as they did with the disruption.

“That is real credit to the players,” he said.
