London have some injury problems no Dorn, Robertson or Wheeldon not sure who els eis missing but they are filling their team with London born players.

I normally have a soft spot for London as i think it is important for RL and i hope they can do well.

Despite that i hope we run up a cricket score against them.

We are only 28 points behind Wire on points difference and a good score against London could give us a little extra breathing space.
I wish i was going but after resigning from my job in without another one lined up money is tight.

Hope we have good turnout and get behind the boys and set up a great finale to the season with a couple of good Yorkshire derbies.

Main objective is to get the 2 points, if we keep winning points difference wont matter - if we go into this game trying to rattle up a big score and get complacent the chances are we could come unstuck. Be patient, build pressure and make sure there is no slip-ups would be my advice. A huge win and boost to our points difference would be an extra bonus in my view.

Unfortunately i am skint so it looks like a no-no from me this week

Winning down in london is not as hard as it used to be, they are by quite some way the worst team in super league, we have a decent record down there in any case and expect to win by some 30+ points!

full team to choose from apart from fielden too.

london have lots of injuries to top players on top of this.

get the win then two more to go to the LLS!

planning to go down to london for this game, not missed a game all season and not about to start now with us being so close to silverware!

Yep we're there, a fixture I try hard not to avoid. Going down fri coming back sun staying in Feltham unfortunately after first waiting for the football fixtures to come out then our progress in the cup meaning my preferred place we stay not having any rooms for us. Oyster card topped up in readiness.

Seems quite a lot on this weekend not only the 7's tournament at Twickenham, But there's a feast festival at Battersea and Somewhere I wanted to visit, the Olympic stadium complex has some kiddy thing going on.

Bailey
Dixon
Randall
Witt
Clubb
Lovell

They're also missing, you'll win. This really isn't one to be worried about.

It's one to worry about when you're a Giants fan lol

Maximum effort again this weekend for so so many reasons.

We need a nice steady game. basics early on. We need to be defensively aware to the offload and get through 80mins with few errors. We shouldn't be trying to put 70 points past any team just because wire did, we should be looking to secure a solid two points with no injuries.

2 points is king
Stick to the game plan and get those

Everything else will follow

I'd like to say London are clear favourites, but maybe I might be fibbing, but as it seems to be working, London are clear favourites for this game, they have all the up and coming youngsters to draw on, they got to the CC semi and they still sell the home shirt.

We are in danger of taking this game too lightly after beating the second place team on their own patch and completing a season double.

2 points are needed now Wire won yesterday, we need to turn up or be made to look fools

spot on, I would rather we win 14-12 than go down there and think about putting 60+ on them, if we do, great, but lets be professional and get the job done.

Ahem, we do have a habit of loosing to the worst team in the league

Widnes
Crusaders
Salford
etc

Not this time lads, eh!

Giants by 30

no new injuries for this one



stoked is the ref

If you don't win by a minimum of 50 points it will be a shock!

hmm 40

Offload!!!! Hardly seen one all year by us. We can't tackle either and have no structure in attack, so on balance you should be OK

tommy lee doing well for london.... anderson didnt want him to leave at the end of last season but london offered more money. Would of liked to of seen him stay as was good cover, wood now has that spot.

fairbank has rejoined the giants, how did he get on for london..?

He blended in well with the mediocrity





Tommy Lee on the other hand has been one of our better players

Fairbank doesnt seem to have kicked on this season - neither Batley, Bradford nor London have been impressed with him it would seem! seems to be defensively sound which has long been his strength but hes not really improved in attack.

thats how i see it too, way down the pecking order at the moment.

as for this game the 19 has been announced..

no lunt, so being given time to get his ankle 100%, no worries as wood and faiumu can do the role well enough.

taai to come in for faiumu at prop , those will be the changes i think

Giants 19. Wood and Fooey at hooker. I would expect taai and Cording to play as well.

Grix
Cudjoe
Wardle
McGillvary
Brough
Robinson
Crabtree
Kopczak
Ferres
Faiumu
Lawrence
Patrick
Chan
Ta'ai
Murphy
Cording
Ferguson
Blackmore
Wood

The game is listed to be on BBC radio Leeds but i would imagine it will be at the best updates as soccer is king.


Anyone know if anyone else might be covering it ?

If anyone at the game was wanting to text me i could give them my mobile number and put updates on here

who would you drop for cording to come in if taai plays prop? would think lawrence, ferguson , ferres, chan to keep their places.. unless anderson wants to rest ferres.

game maybe live on bbc leeds warrington wakie was last saturday, full broadcast

radio leeds broadcast on different frequencies. Sometime rugby commentaries on FM radio and sometimes on AM. which is on 774kHz in old money, and also online and DAB. on BBC rugby league commentaries web site it doesn't tell you which actual channel it is going to be on . As you say football is king so would expect that to be on FM radio.

Is Lunt injured or just being rested?
