| I'd go with:
Gaskell
Kear
Arundel
Henry
Foster
Addy
Gale
Sidlow
Disko
Walker
Purtell
Olbison
Donno
AoB
Pitts
Mellor
George
I don't think Gaskell at 6 works. Against Catalan in the cup match, there was no reason to switch LG and BK around but Franny did it anyway, which leads me to believe that he didn't think it was working either.
George is on the bench as cover for the backs and also as a 2nd rower (god help us!) only because of how he was utilised last week.
However we pick the team for Sunday, it's always a case of square pegs into round holes. We limp from one game to the next.

| Think it will be Saints all over again unfortunately. We will be lucky to get nil.

| As long as we show the same attitude we had against Cats and Wire rather than the one against the Saints I won't complain.
Surely we must be due some "magic" luck?

I think the reason Gaskell worked so well is because we had the quality of Kearney at HB. We simply don't have this with Gale & Addy. Addy is simply not a HB. Then having a wing/centre on the bench dilutes our pack even further.
Gaskell isn't that much better at FB than HB thay we have to play half the team out of position.

I might be mistaken, but I don't remember BK actually doing much while he played at 6.
Conversely, Gaskell created at least 3 tries while playing Fullback against Wire, and Addy set up the winning try while was at stand off!
I don't think Addy is a 6 for one second, but I would accept him playing there if it meant Gaskell could do what he does best, from his best position.

| Wasn't BKs communication to organise players around him frannies stated reason for playing him in halves as opposed to what he actually did with ball in hand. Seem to remember he said Gaskell wasn't vocal enough.

| When this fixture was announced, it seemed drastically unfair. League leaders vs a team who could of easily been non excitant.
Watching us this season I believe with the right game plan, a few lucky bounces and a decent ref performance for both teams you could trouble us. We haven't really fired this season and you will certainly be out to show the RL world that you're still a unit who deserves Super League.
Pressure is we'll be expected to murder you and put a cricket score on you.
We in the past have tried to do this to teams and failed due to a stupid game plan.
I hope it's a good game and both teams make a good account of themselves.

You will put 50 on us easily. Unfortunately I feel it will be the mismatch of the weekend.
Thanks RFL.

| Skybet only have Hudderfield with a 22 point start on us. Do they know something we don't? They'll have made that back up by half time!

Good job your players don't go into games with that attitude. 13 vs 13.. What have your lot got to lose. If we don't win by a shed load we get called rubbish. If we lose we get called rubbish. Get in an arm wrestle with us and we could be beaten. Anyway... Hope you have a good weekend and hope our game is more entertaining than people are predicting.

| I would just like to point out that we've not lost this season when our match has been televised.
Admittedly, the only game we've had on Sky this year was against Wakefield, but even so, my statement holds truth #graspingatstraws.

| Can't see anything past a 50 point win for Huddersfield. Either way this is the team I would go for:
17. Lee Gaskell
5. Elliot Kear
21. Adam Henry
34. Joe Arundel
5. Jamie Foster
16. Danny Addy
7. Luke Gale
15. Adam Sidlow
9. Matt Diskin
33. Jay Pitts
11. Tom Olbison
3. Adrian Purtell
18. James Donaldson
19. Adam O'Brien
24. Alex Mellor
13. Chev Walker
20. Luke George

| Could be a very sad day tomorrow, if Wakefield win and we get nothing against Huddersfield I'd say that's us finished. Would move them 10 points clear and a much better points difference. Sad to say but have to be realistic.

| Don't think wakefield will win today, but why do you just have them in your sights. Don't actually think they will finish third bottom, Salford, hull, Catalans as well will all be in the mix if you get your act together

Well, there's an obvious truth in that mate, however with just one fit [iactual[/i prop forward available it's fair to say we'll spend a lot of time going backwards both with, and without, the ball. If our lads manage to overcome that deficiency it will be a new age of miracles...
To be honest, posters discussing exactly who is in the halves is akin to moving the deckchairs around on the Titanic. Without wishing to just list a shedload of cliches, it is the forwards who decide which team wins rugby matches and the halves and threequarters need to be on their toes when receiving the ball - and indeed, when defending, and NOT on their heels, ie going backwards. Without some bigger lads up front we're likely to see far more of the latter than the former.
Obviously hope to be wrong but Hudds by plenty, to be honest.

| Need a performance today. If we get another hammering. I think our points difference will be unrecoverable putting us at least 5 wins behind (and that's if Wakey lose to Cas)
Personally I would throw the ball about today. Get it out wide with plenty of offloads to try tire Hudds big men out. One man rugby will kill us.

I said try the quality of our passing has been alarming. Genuinely the under 8s that played at half time last week passed better than us.
