We need to view this game in conjunction with both the Warrington and Catalan games. It's very unlikely Smith isn't going to do some rotating of the squad, especially the forwards. So I'd definitely expect Prior to start tomorrow with maybe Mik or Tetevano off the bench. If he genuinely is fit I'd let Leeming start with Dwyer on the bench and rest O'Connor and maybe Gannon.

Two wins needed to go into the playoffs in good form with confidence. Win tomorrow and we are halfway there. I’d play the strongest team tomorrow, rest a few in France, and then strongest team for Cas.

Smith has said he's going all out for this game and then assess where we are after in terms of form/injuries/tiredness etc.

Beat Huddersfield and put out our best side against Dragons and if we win we could finish above Dragons if they lose last game
against Wigan and we beat Cas. Take each game as a final and see how it goes we might end up at home in the playoffs its not impossible.

Really tough game tonight. Their greatest asset is their 80 minute grind down the middle. Coincidentally our greatest weakness. We'll need to play some football and hope passes stick. Looking forward to it.

Can do without fans who’d rather watch LUFC!

Really not sure on the value of briscoe on the bench and we may be a prop light

Yeh, very lightweight bench.
Why not Walters?

Unless Briscoe is looking strong and he'll be used for his yardage carries. I hope he's not in there to cover any?? over Fusitu’a

In Rohan we trust but I had hoped those sorts of benches were behind us.

I can sense an unused sub coming up as the forwards will be needed tonight.

We can call that ‘McDermott sense’

Briscoe on the bench,maybe a worry over Fus?

Strange bench

I was thinking that but Rohan doesn't seem like the type to select fus or Briscoe for those reasons

Must be some worry over one of the wingers/centres.
Only thing that makes any sense.
Walters lr Smith would offer more otherwise

Briscoe having a run at 2nd row or loose??

Switched off after scoring?

Rohan is a wizard, he knew sutcliffe was getting injured.

Blame Barry mc if we lose this, basically predicted we'd batter them after Martin scored.

Need to be way better ending our sets and controlling the contact our more passive defensive style is getting exploited

Aye,last tackle plays and silly penalties.
Or is the ref giving Hudds the 50/50s ?

Really hard work listening to Franny Cummins on radio !

It really is.

Really poor execution in this so far. Giants are very predictable therefore should be very defendable. Again really lacking in the front row, but we knew that already.

Really poor so far, lucky to be in front, contact in defence is awful, big mik especially, too sloppy in attack, not willing to do the tough stuff.

But in the lead so hopfuly we can tidy things up and improve
