I was very confident on this one until Brown and Lunt got the England call. I just hope Mcguire and Sinfield recover.

If so then Giants V Saints without Roby, Graham and Eastmond is a real prospect of a win.

i think that we can hold our own even without Brown and Lunt, we have players who can cover the hooking role but what about the stand off any ideas?

Grix

Realistically, you should beat us.

We will be without -

Gardner, Soliola, Wilkin, Fa'asavalu, Eastmond, Roby, Graham.

Doesnt fill me with confidence.

Hopefully the Leeds players will be fit.

Realistically , apart form our kids last year, i've never seen us get anywhere close to Saints at KR, doesn't fill me with confidence....................but , until yesterday i'd never seen us tear the Bulls apart !!

brough?
fooey to 9
grix 7
carlile on bench

Don't forget drew!
Looking forward to this one, should be a good game and a good atmosphere

atmosphere?
i am presuming you've never been to knowlsey road before then

I have and its 100 times better than the atmosphere at the galpharm

really?

Plus Tony P, unless he has recovered from whatever mystery injury kept him out last week, and possibly one or both of Lomax and Dixon, since I've read reports that either one or both of them were injured against Hull.

I'm expecting a tonking by Hudds to be fair. But I will be there at KR, cheering on whichever lads are left!

It's forecast to be a dry evening. Of course that could change but hopefully it won't.

If all of these players are out injured i am tempted to taken a days leave from work and go to the game!

Why Durham are you registered to play for Saints ?

Nah - he's a glory hunter...

No Brown or Lunt as they have been promoted to Full Members of England squad.

maybe grix to play browns position and faiumu to return to hooker.

hope puletua wont play against us hes a machine!

will be a good game this one, if giants play the way they did at bradford we should win.

Wellens, Gidley, Meli, Pryce, Fozzard, Cunningham, Puletua, Flannery, Hargreaves, Moore, Clough, Ashurst, Wheeler, Dixon, Emmitt, Armstrong, Magennis, Foster, Johnson.


Huddersfield Giants squad

B. Hodgson, Cudjoe, Lolesi, D. Hodgson, Robinson, Crabtree, Lunt, Mason, Gilmour, Fa'alogo, Wild, D. Griffin, Lawrence, Faiumu, Grix, Patrick, McGillvary, Horne, Brough.

same as last week for me with Grix in for Brown. Raleigh in for Lunt possibly moving fooey around to hooker and wild at loose to spell Robbo.

If we can tighten our defence up we should go OK. Saints will be tough to break down but their lack of playmakers will make it hard for them to play their attacking game.

On the saints board they are suggesting Moore at no7.

Looks like they will be making lots of yards in the middle and keeping it tight

Lunt will be playing

my bad . trying to fit raleigh in the team. Should have checked as he is not even in the squad

Nah. You don't even have to bother doing that. All that you need to do is get Brough to kick at us and we'll totally fall apart and your guys will just walk over the line. We must have the rep by now of being the most useless team under any kind of kick whatsoever, and that will be the easiest way for you to win.

Anyone need a Kids ticket for Friday. I will need to post it tomorrow.

Based on the teams this is there for the taking.

A big bet on the Giants is coming up I think

This game is for the taking, one of our best chances to beat the saints away in many years.

hmm not sure myself - i've been to Saints before thinking this is our time to do em , no better time etc etc and we've been stuffed !!! saying that though confidence should be pretty high after sunday so fingers crossed

I reckon it will be a pretty close game with Saints winning by 6/8 points.
