we also dont want to be faffing about changing half backs again!!!

my god we have had enough of that by now

turner and brough doing fine, let them progress.

be good to have murphy back in the second row, hes been wanting to test himself in the pack for a long time now and hes a big lad, think he weighs 16 stone, doesnt look it, but when he runs the ball back as a winger he does make inroads..... but now we are left with only mcgillvary who can make inroads bringing the ball back, we need to rectify this for next season bring a new strong back in

Why on earth would we want to move a player who is playing well in the halves into the second row?! We have won 4 games on the trot since Turner moved to halfback and it's the real find of the season for me.

Hello Giants fans.both of our teams are now playing a lot better.It will be interesting to see whether Remy Casty,who played his best Game for 5 years against Leeds last week will again be rested in the Cup. Personally I would much rather we missed the middle eights than had a good cup run.See you on 15th run when I shall probably once again be the only visiting fan

Cudjoe plays !

sure casty will play, no ones rested for big cup games.

no jake wardle..... not even in the 19

does that mean hes not signing a new deal and we think no point playing him if hes not here for the long run.

then again cudjoe is back and would be harsh to drop mamo/mcintosh.

not taking catalans lightly on thursday, they have hit form now and have seen them knock us out of the play offs on our own patch before

we need to be backing the team from the off and not expecting an easy win

On the one hand folk complain when players playing well are “dropped” for someone to come straight back in the squad- on the other they complain when a player newly available doesn’t make it straight back in the squad!

I have never been one for changing a winning team unnecessarily, That's just my opinion and everyone will have their's. I see being in the top 8 as more important than the cup ( although a trip to Wembley would be nice ). Keep changes to a minimum for me and don't start swapping players about on the field to get a certain player in.

so when do you bring your captain back in?

cudjoe has to play at some point

Yes he does- but wardle?!?!?!?

I would never change a side that has won 4 games on the bounce unless i was forced, I know Cudjo has to play at some point but for me it would be when someone has a bad game,( and even that is usually a matter of opinion )
That's just how i see it as i have said, i quite understand the other view's, I'm just more impressed by how people play than what they are called of how much they are paid, But i'm happy to leave it to Woolford .

two tries on debut, could be argued he only missed due to a ban and could come back in as he linked up well with mamo on the wing.

some tough choices to be made!

Well line up like

Rankin
Jerry
Leroy
Gaskell/Mamo
Mamo/McIntosh
Turner
Brough
Smith
O Brien
Clough
Murphy
Mellor
Hinchy

Seb
Leeming
English
Roberts

This is Smiths chance to really stake a claim for a regular first team spot and put together a run of consecutive good performances.

Im just still baffled by the Adam Walne and Shannon Wakeman situations. I expect neither to be there next season. Adam Walne will probably link up with his brother at KR.

with taai out you would think wakeman and walne would be nearer to getting a prop spot but doesnt look like it! must not be working hard enough in training

see catalans have a new prop kenny edwards from the nrl making his debut tonight... going to be a tough match this

Honestly not feeling too hopeful about tonight

Blessing in disguise but Leroy shouldn’t have played couldn’t care less if he’s captain but why change the winning side Ino tia was a big absence but play the winning team

that was one hell of limp game

Leroy was good tonight I thought Brough turner Rankin McIntosh were very poor and that’s were we lost the game tonight

Leroy was good- Catalan clearly targeted him in the first half- sent everything his way- constantly picked him out to run at. Changed tack in the second half when they realised it wasn’t working.
Rankin was put under a lot of pressure- their kicking was better than ours by a margin.
I don’t really see McIntosh was one to pick out amongst a lot of below par performances.
Wouldn’t worry about brough- he will be banned agai next week anyway.

Cudjoe is an outstanding player and he will always play if fit. Better to bring him back in a less important match.

well done catalan, warned beforehand they wouldnt be easy beats, played to their pace and tempo and we had no answer too it, couldnt get out of first gear and were really poor!

lost count the amount of times we had to start our sets from our own 10, great kicking display from drinkwater.

going up against a big side with mellor, murphy, english and smith in the forwards was always going to be a tough ask, something we need to rectify for next season, bring so bloody big players in!!

good to see cudjoe back and he played well will only improve on that.

what annoys me the most is that the club had a chance to put itself back on the map and in the spotlight with a semi final place but once again we failed to take it, be a long time now till we get another chance to boost the profile of the club

I hope that isn't a sign of what's to come under Woolford or we are in trouble. From that game we deserved absolutely nothing, Catalan deserved a few Oscars and not much more. To be fair the Giants tackled ok for the most part but on attack we could have had 2 packs on there and we wouldn't have got on top of them.
When we come up against a side with a bit of mongrel about them and know how to play the ref, we are just not in it.

wonder how long it will take before we have a woolford out topic..... already been a few murmurs ...

Hello again Giants fans. I watched the match in Malta where there appear to be a lot of people named "Mamo" and a few named Sammut. Our forwards were too good for you-statement of the bleeding obvious-and Drinkwater ,whom I used to regard as a very average player, is a revelation.

Not got a good feeling about him, think we will be back to playing like we were under Rick, he’s like Rick without the human touch
