All of this thread is valid about who has on paper the better team, however I think it will mainly down to attiitude on the day of the individual players.

I'm glad we're playing wire, as you have some very vocal but genreally good fans to talk to.

We'll see in 45 hours time who was right!!!

Very true GL


Crabtree is massive for us in attack, his ability to pull the defence in cannot be underestimated, then he can get the offload out

One things for sure, if him and Mozza are lined up together in the autumn tests, there are gonna be fireworks.

An area I don't believe we defend very well either.

Crabtree is an excellent player who, as TCP notes, we either deal with easily or we allow to run riot. If it's the latter, we may well struggle. Not in the least bit concerned about Mason or Griffin. Obvious points I know but Hodgson (Aus) and Robinson will also be absolutely crucial. The Giants aren't where they are by accident and fully deserve their league placing which is way better than ours.

Hoary old cliche but we're going to have to play extremely well to win this game. That would ring true if it was being played on a park field, never mind Wembley. We'll get done, hugely, if we're anything other than bang on it and I'm expecting the Huddersfield team of my nightmares...

yeah mate they do have a track record but i think random high shots rarely achieve much other than giving away penalties and firing the opposition up

i wasn't actually criticising either about the wrestling moves...they are within the rules at the moment and although it seems a bit cynical to bend people's necks and roll on their legs, while they aren't outlawed whoever uses them nest knackers their opponents out most

I think its fair to say, both teams are going to have to play to their best to be in with a shout, and of they do, it will be a classic.
