A Huddersfield vs. Warrington final is what everyone wants, aside from Wigan and Saints obviously!

There's actually no real basis in that. It is something Cullen banged on about, but look at 2008, they beat us four times, twice we went on to win the next game. The first loss was against Wigan, and the next one was in the middle of the injury crisis at the end of the year.

2007 saw Saints beat us 4 times, and we won the next game three times.

Made me chuckle.

Morley is out but Rauhihi returns to take his place. Clarke is fit and in the 19. Briers is back.

A giant win, then. Morley make the bulk of our pack, without him our leadership is nigh on gone. I'd like to think Mitchell and Blythe will be dropped to make 17 but in the event its Clarke and Briers, as feared due to injury, then we have no hope.

This is not helping me in the tipping competition. the exclusion of Briers and Clarke would have me much more confident of a good Giants win.

Although may i just add that it doesn't always happen

Thats almost an admission of i got it wrong

It's a real shame Morley is not playing, I always love the forward battles between our sides.

i dont think we will moan too much about his ommision lol

With last night's results tomorrow's game looks even more important, a win and that puts us 4 wins from 9th spot and with 6 games left it would almost guarantee a play off spot, that's a truely remarkable position to be in.

I think this will be our toughest game of the regular season so far, a real test of whether we have what it takes, a win and I think we'll finish top 4 with a canter, a defeat and squeaky bum time could return.

Eorl's dentist will be disappointed.

From Wire's point of view, the results went against us last night, so the game has suddenly become even more crucial for us, as we have dropped out of the 8.

It should be a cracker tomorrow, I'm sorry I can't make it now!

And perhaps just as importantly will put us 3 points clear of HKR, real daylight in the fight for 3rd spot.

Indeed, an added bonus, and we'd only be 4 off the top 2, who still have to play each other

Looking at the weather out there this morning we could be in for one hell of a game, handling errors will be a crucial statistic and the team that can minimise this will probably come out on top.

I'm starting to get butterfies about this one, I hope we can win it as I'd like to start planning for a busy September of RL

Looks like the weather will play a part, for sure.

Any news/gossip on the final 17 anyone?

Giants were in total control after 10 Min's and we won the game in all areas of the field. Warrington looked absolutely clueless in attack and I was very disappointed by the amount of high tackles warrington put in along with the grapple tackles today.

As per usual great away following by warrington!

Absolutely agree. The fact we piled on so much pressure on your line in that ten minutes and still didn't score summed up the whole game.



No more than you put on us.



The biggest cheer from us was when Ken Davy was announcing season ticket prices.
