A real tester coming up next against the best team in super league.

Should be a real tester. Hopefully the poor quality of today's opposition won't have hampered preparations for the biggest game of the season and the potential grand final line up.

Tough as it gets this one

Looking forward to it already, should be a thriller. Is Robinson injured?

Still out from 4Nations + post season surgery.

Fartown really need a victory on Friday v Wigan to make everyone, including the Fartown players themselves, realise that Huddersfield are genuine contenders for silverware this season. Hudds must take full benefit from home advantage imo. Can't wait for Friday night. Also it might shut Eddie, Stevo & Phil "Mr. Wigan" Clarke up for 5 minutes if Fartown secure a victory.
Hudds will have to earn it though. Wigan will be coming to win, make no mistake. Good opposition.

I can see the Sky TV viewing figures being very good for this game. Let's hope the Huddersfield public aren't part of those figures, as can frequently be the case when we play on a Friday night in particular.

im pretty sure it will be the norm dan, it amazes me how many people in town after the game have watched it on tv, if they are fans why dont they go to the match?

anyway as for the game, i cant wait, my first home game of the season and the league leaders v the champions im sure we or the sky viewers wont be disappointed, though hopefully messrs,clarke,carney,hemmings and stephenson will be gutted come 10 o clock

Will be interesting to see who Nathan picks. AFAIK Griff wasn't injured for today and has been playing really well so was he rested with an eye on the Wigan game? Who knows for sure apart from NB but it's going to be a belting game I think. Fingers crossed we come away with the two points. I'll take one nil...

You want to try to get as many as possible there. They were pushed all the way by Hull today at the DW, and they drew with a less than convincing St Helens side at millennium magic, so you're in with a huge chance on Friday. Round 'em up and get 'em in!

It's gonna be a cracker, and a real wrestleathon.



Our lot were a little (to say the least) under par today, hopefully Madge will have them spot on for Friday

well said, but this is huddersfield where the locals are more bothered about chelsea,nal,man utd,barcelona,leeds utd etc than huddersfield giants or indeed huddersfield town

or the OWLS lol

hoot hoot!



errr no mate only 5 of us im afraid and even wer'e not bothered anymore

I think you will win unless we have a miraculous form boost, not playing to the best of our ability at the moment and you seem to be right on form!

I can see this game being the biggest for the club in a long time, a win here - we've made it, and we are title contenders. I'm not saying we win and we're dead on, but we win and we've got the extra oomph to win these games come September.

bigger than the saints and wire play off games??
no chance its a regular round of super league with early league positions up for grabs.
however it will still be a massive result should we win it.

Im agreeing with that, a massive psychological boost for us if we win at this early stage of the season, that would be wire and wigan beaten, could be huge for us come september/october

Now if we can just get the Leeds monkey of our back

this game has all the makings of being a cracker!

for me the two best coached teams in super league with the best defences too

will be another good turnout over 8000 i reckon. (8800 and 9400 last two home games)

i hope brown and cudjoe arent injured for this one



they will have joel tomkins missing after the red card yesterday.

roll on friday

will then be demoted to 2nd grade for the rest of the season.

Hope so!!! It was Ganson!!



He should have sin binned Yeaman and Joel after the punch up failed to then we stupidly let Joel have the ball!! Cant see him getting less than 4 games but to be fair he as been poor this season so may not miss him as much as he hasnt been key for us like in past seasons.

Looking forward to friday should be a good game! You should be favourites on form. We need to keep Deacon on the pitch longer than 5 mins!

From the sounds of it some other players could end up getting called up before the beak as well.

I would be suprised if anyone else is banned for getting involved! Manu and Elephant man may get a warning or a game for other incidents and maybe Joel and Yeaman get a game for fighting!

Fancy a Hudds victory in this 1, be interesting see how the bookies see it but we look likely to be missing Fielden Gleeson Richards Roberts Finch and Deacon was knocked out again yesterday and had stitches im led to believe so he could be missing and not to mention if the Tomkins 2 get cited. I think Joel will and maybe Sam for running in and throwing punches.

think bookies will score it an even match or give giants a 2 point start.

Joel Tomkins has been charged with the Grade B offence of recklessly striking an opponent in the 66th minute, an incident which led to his dismissal. Sam Tomkins has been charged with the Grade B offence of running in and punching in the 65th minute.

2 from hull as well in same game

Yeaman was also charged with the Grade B offence of fighting in the 66th minute whilst Radford is charged with the Grade B offence of making dangerous contact with Thomas Leuluai in the 61st minute.
