sorry i should have said, again from what i can remember and yes Brett Hodgson is regarded by many in the game as one of the best full backs never to be capped

Without bickering too much how many Huddersfield players have had a serious international career? Not including one or two games, or the old England team which was made up of GB rejects. Proper regular games on the international stage.

Webb injuries ruled him out of last 2 internation comps.
Senior - Retire but could easily walk into ENG side.
Hall - ENG regular for the next few years imo.
Burrow - ENG international
McGuire - ENG international
Kylie - Captain of Samoa
Buderus - Former Aussie Captain!!!!!!
JP - Current ENG captain !!!
Ali - Kiwi and Somoa honours.
Sinfield - Golden boot short list last year.
Eastwood - Kiwi WC winnner.

When was the last time a Leeds player won a MoS award?

When you have that mob playing with confidence then Wow. Throw in JJB, Diskin, Delaney, Burgess, Bailey and Kirke then you have the foundations for world beaters.

See what i mean by the petty bickering! Why cannot we discuss the game instead of the 'my dad is bigger than yours' style chit chat.

Is that all you've got to go on? Do you want me to aim some similar questions to you about the Giants archivements?

Dont embarras yourself.

Shall we talk about the Challenge Cup runs?



you appear to be the one doing the 'petty bickering' then retiring to the moral high ground when something is mentioned you don't like. FYI It was Harris in 1999 I think - I was surprised about that but maybe one good player does not make a good team.

At this moment in time we are a club in the ascendancy. The problem with Leeds is they have nowhere else to go but to be knocked off their pedestal. If Huddersfield can achieve any of the success Leeds has enjoyed in the league then I will be a happy man.

It is very high quality. Our guys are better than some fans would appreciate:

Wild / Hodgson / Gilmour / Crabtree all GB or recent England

Lolesi Kiwi + 2 GF wins

Fatz Kiwi / Kiwi vice captain when Tri series winners / + 2 GF wins

Faiumu Kiwi

Fa'alogo Kiwi inc World Cup win

B Hodgson Mos + Gf win + 6 SOO etc

throw in Griff /Mason / Brown / Lunt /Drew etc

All points to a cracking game and both teams having grounds for optimism.

It would seem we must merely accept all talk of their Dad whilst we cannot indulge our own Dad's qualities to the forum in the same manner. That seems awfully unfair. My Dad is currently in two places at once and has a massive surface area.

Beat that!

No im just getting dragging into it and cannot resist



Ok Challenge cup runs it is....when did your run last end up in a win?

A: 1953

Leeds: A:1999





How times have the Giants won it? A: 6

Leeds A: 11





How many times have the Giants been in the Final? A: 10

Leeds A: 20

How many of those games did your dad play in?

His Dad was the ball in the watersplash final.

He got BOM.

All of them of course!!

Was only small though so im not good on that arguement

What, we're having a my Dad is smaller than your Dad competition now?

Make your mind up, Christ.

Yeah without a doubt ample members there that will cause Leeds problems, thats why it will be such a good game. Niether side can give the other much room to play with.

This has to be the double entendre post of the day. The week even.

FNAR!!!

Nice one

Never said it was going to be easy, never said Leeds will win but always said it will be a tough game. Selective reading.

Norman Hunter 1967

Why is it some Lids supporters (I assume they do go to games) always feel they have to mention "champions" "GF winners" "our team of world beaters" etc in every other post when visiting other clubs forums, do they really need to "big" themselves up all the time ???
Why not just say "it should be a good game between 2 reasonably matched teams" or "think we'll beat you but it won't be easy" instead of all this childish "we're a better team than you" crap. It's good to see the "world beaters" and a few arrogant supporters who are bigging Lids up are going into this match on a high and obviously full of confidence, so that if they lose (hopefully they will) they can have no excuses

Hope we manage to pull of a good win and send their world crashing down around them.

PS I doubt my dad was bigger than many peoples dad, he was only 5ft 7ins tall.

Score 14 - 6 to Fartown
Lids to win penalty count 12 - 4, due to Silverwood being swayed by a few drama queens (Mcguire, Peacock, Diskin etc) and attempting to keep them in the game.
Fartown MOM Brown
Lids MOM Silverwood









Have a safe journey over

Stick to discussing the game, and the game alone, anything else can be done by PM or on the Leeds site for all I care.

Dont make me lock this thread.

you seem to have missed my point and your own word, you stated internationals. I gave you the list

Bookies call it plus 4 to Hudds on the Handicap so a close game. Having said that had 4 start V Hull KR and 2 start V Wakey.

Shock horror are the bookies beginning to respect the Giants.

The handicap clearly does not take account of Leeds superior history. Which of course it shouldn't because at present the two teams are very equal !

Regarding the penalty count ,which was the bone of contention for the Rhinos/Storm game

Due to his decisions/wrong decisions on the night regarding the "ruck area" against Melbourne
will he cockle and hand the Rhinos loads of belated penalties?
or will he do as Child did at Wakefield away this season and penalise us 17-7 for the same offences as Melbourne commited?

Rugby league rules are very difficult to understand these days you see, and every club in the comp will be shafted one week or another

Which ever side you support, do you know how the rules/referee will judge you each week?

The ref will probably play an entirely different set of rules!!! I can see what you are saying though.
