well its onto game 6 now, one we have to win against out rivals leeds, beaten them twice this year at home but they are a different team now with segeyaro and a few others back

most giants fans will still be suffering a hangover from the leigh game like me but we need to move on and hope the players start to realise the situation they are in

maybe leeds will not want this as much as us seeing as they are safe now?? then again some of our players are also safe with contracts at the ready for 2017

finally get to see huby v ferres??? think we need to move on from that now though

crabtree , symonds, wood all back

downside is roberts may have a broken jaw and he was one player who was committed to the giants cause. (leeming also injured but wood can slot in for him) hmmm wood is off too next season...committed?

get rid of wardle and put murphy to centre, ormsby on the wing, at least these two want to play for hudds.

brierley in for connor? or even ellis who is dire this season

Wouldn't want to be in Stone's shoes right now,he's got so called experienced players showing little commitment to him or the team,so what does he do throw in the kids from the off.

Assuming Roberts,Symonds,Leeming injured think I'd go -

Grix
McG,Cudjoe,Murphy,Ormsby
Connor,Brough
Lawrence
Ta'ai,Wardle
Eorl,Hinch,Rapira

Wood,Ikahihifo,Mason,Johnson.

Ideally would have left Wardle at centre but no option but to move him.

if i was stones id just tell huby to go out them n smash ferres we need more aggression just have a big fight get it over n done with from the start n then dont take a backward step too many teams bully us

This is a massive for Hudds, and Leeds as well because of prize money, if Leeds win it will leave Hudds needing to go to HKR to get a result and avoid the MPG, myself I'm tipping a HKR V Hudds MPG then it's hey boys hey as to who wins , as a Leyther it will be good to watch , no pressure and enjoy.

we need all the season ticket holders there this Sunday, it will be emotional win or lose ,dont miss it and dont forget the possible meet up between Huby and Ferris,

I don't think we will rest anyone for this game so I think we will go in:

Sutcliffe
Briscoe Watkins Keinhorst Hall
Lilley Burrow
Galloway Segeyaro Singleton
Ferres Ablett
JJB

Cuthbertson Garbutt Ward Achurch/Mullally/Smith

so huby gets sent off and we are a man down ? no thanks

then again on current form huby would just knock on anyway

you would think that the giants would put an offer on for this game to get the fans back onside abit maybe £10 entry

but no

leigh and salford are doing offers but out marketing is rubbish so what would you expect

should be 5 - 6 k anyway for this one, would have been nearer 10k going back not so long ago

Brian Mac's final words before they come out of the tunnel - "Don't fake it but it's a lot easier for our fans to jump on a train to Huddersfield next season than to trail to Salford or Hull KR"

Think that would be a daft idea to do. We (Leeds) have nothing to play for, why get them emotionally invested in the game by adding heat to it.

Should be an interesting game. We have a lot to play for and Leeds have found a superior form than the one they carried in the regular rounds. We need to do a job!

Why bother doing cheap tickets for a handful of hudds fans and a pile of Leeds ones.
ST holders are already missing out this year due to hudds having three games at home instead of four. The way we have played this season cheap tickets isn't going to persuade people to turn up. The ST holders are the ones that need appeasing - not those who don't usually bother to come!!!

I would rather Huby just concentrate on his own game and try and make yards and actually hold the ball! he has been pretty poor for me last few weeks.

Ferres is History now,forget him, sunday is about us, not him or them.

And besides i don't think any of our pack have enough aggression to smash anyone!

"sinario", the Rhinos coach pulls up outside "fortruss Giants" the team rushes off in eager antisipation, secretly, the kitman offloads, some easy chairs, lyelows, and a lot of kitchen sinks, the whole world knows that the Giants will be fast asleep till 3.20, will wake up seeing there,s some washing up to do.
Might l suggest to mr Stone, he puts them on a raw meat diet as of Friday, and as they depart the dressing room on Sunday someone hits every one of them in the face with a cricket bat.
Remember big Dave King, the biggest pussy on the field till someone hit him.

yes i know but could maybe have got an extra few to come and the fans back on side abit

this could be our last home super league game for many years to come...... to those that dont go much, dont miss it!

how will we decide to start this game??? knock on? not catch the ball from kick off? kick out on the full from kick off?? let leeds go 18-0 up before playing???

hmmm or has it set in now that they need to be up for the game from the go

my team

murphy
ormsby
s.wood
cudjoe
mcgillvary

brough
brierley
wood (because leeming is injured)

crabtree
huby
roberts (if fit)
hinchcliffe
taai

bench-
rapira
mason
lawrence
johnson

no grix, wardle, connor as they are leaving and not interested. wood off too but we have no choice now leeming is out.
hope roberts is ok, he wants to be a giant.
ellis been rubbish.
wouldnt mind if simpson played full back.
at least above want to wear the shirt and will fight (hopefully)

Thank god your not picking.

Crabtree has a cracked rib,Roberts seems ok Ukuma training on side but looked ok.Why drop Wardle? he at least should see
out his contract.Grix it seems is the only one who can organise the defence.

No offence Brearley but i am glad you didn't replace Anderson


I wouldn't have Ormsby in if it can be helped, he has looked pretty poor against average opposition.

I like how people presume that players are not interested because they're leaving? I accused certain players of not looking like they cared on saturday, through their actions and body language, but I fail to see how you can be certain that Wardle, Connor, etc aren't interested because they are leaving?

And when was it announced that Wardle was leaving? or is this another Thewlis conspiracy/signing that we haven't been told about

because the team thats been picked in the past has done us good?

forgot to put symonds in the team, hes been playing ok

roberts is good to play thats good news

wardle wants out, trying to engineer himself a move to newcaste knights... another that has rocked the boat this season and runied team morale

would the ones leaving put their bodies on the line for the giants cause

im just going on what we see on the field... its clear to see they wont.

we can still win on sunday as we are a better team at home and we will all be smiling again but may be short lived.

Eorl out,big blow,not as good as he was now but knows the only way is forward.

Roberts,good lad,good go forward,got to start working harder out of marker.

Symonds return would be huge boost.
