it wont be our reserves playing though will it.... similar team to what played v hull kr plus lunt and kirmond

In the papers Brown said it would be a mix and refered to Lunt and Kirmond getting a game + a few first team props. The rest will be reserve players a la Batley.

Do you have a view on how a predominantly wakey first team will go against a predominantly Giants reserves?

I am very keen to see how the reserve players go against SL opposition. It will provide insights on how the lads will go if called upon for the 1st team. In particular the likes of Wood / Wardle / Griffin J / Cording / Molloy etc

yes a mix as in the second half we will see wood, wardle, j griffin, molloy, cording, faribank for the last 20mins of so. like hull kr match

first half we will see the first team plus kirmond and lunt...so again this is not a predominantly reserves team is it??

the batley game was a reserve team because it didnt have one first team player in it.

I'll be surprised if theres many 1st teamers playing given Nathan has said it will be a full 1st team the week after against Saints

I think Gahan is spot on.

I would expect to see the guys you name in the starting 13. I think we should be proud that we can fied a near reserve team versus a wakey team with many of their top 20 players and expect to give them a decent game.

Gahan is indeed spot on Lunt, D Griffin, Kirmond, Patrick and Raleigh only senior players in squad.

Squad for Wakefield.

Ansell
Carlisle
Cording
Fairbank
D Griffin
J Griffin
Johnson
Kirmond
Lunt
Mcnally
Molloy
Orwell
Patrick
Raleigh
Sarsfield
Walker
Wardle
Whiteley
Wood

Was impressed with Dave Orwell and Matt Sarsfield at Batley. Orwell no nonsense prop and Sarsfield looked a good prospect. Be interesting to see how they go against Wakey.

I see Wakefield have another Winding up Petition on 2nd Feb.

so it is largely reserves



will be an intresting match

mcnally to play full back again?? no elliot hodgson

i hope we dish out more severe punishment for the abysmal cats and give them another reason to hate us



as for the problems wakey find themselves in, then yes i do feel for the majority of their fans, who like any other clubs' fans are a decent bunch, and the decent few that post on here i do feel for them, but for the rest of the anti-anything-to-do-with-huddersfield brigade then i have none,bet they wish some rich club would come along and merge with them now, but wait,no thats a henious crime and has no place in RL.i do hope they sort themselves out tho,any club going to the wall, however it came about is a disaster for the game.

giants by a comfortable margin for a change

I thank you



While we're on, i bet there wont be many of that squad playing next saturday, you heard it here 1st

here is my best attempt at a team that are NOT playing versus wakey:

Grix
McGilvary
Cudjoe
Simpson
Hodgson D

Brown
Brough

Carbtree
Robinson
Horne

O'Donnell
Fa'alogo
Gilmour

On the bench:

Faiumu
Lawrence
Hodgson E
Peltier


I do not know what a wakey team would look like minus those playing on Sunday but I venture to suggest that the above team would beat them!

No room for Keith?

I would even give him a starting spot! Even more formidable.

Grix
McGilvary
Cudjoe
Simpson
Hodgson D

Brown
Brough

Carbtree
Robinson
Mason
O'Donnell
Fa'alogo
Gilmour

On the bench:

Faiumu
Lawrence
Horne
Hodgson E

Also wakey have 7 non fed trained players in their squad for sunday (Smith and Tony are unavailable) while the Giants have.........0

Poor form

Well I wish them well. It would be a terrible shame if they departed.

There seems to be some mystery surrounding your gender, personally I would have you down as a male on the basis of you always wanting a willie measuring contest between the two clubs at every opportunity. You wax lyrical about your academy players when comparing the two sets, without being unkind to them up until the end of last season you had 5 ex Wigan academy cast offs what were an integral part of your team, do you think that perhap you should be comparing your youth system against that of the Saints and Wigan instead to see if indeed your academy set up is as good as you obviously think it is. Its obvious to anybody that there is a big difference in the first team squads and the present Hudds team have proved that on the day they can beat most of the top teams fairly regular, so with that in mind once again should'nt you be offering your club in comparison with such as Leeds and Saints and the Wigan and Wire sides of late to measure just how far you have come instead of picking on club with obvious problems. I have no time for giantdaz and meast, but in fairness they have had the decency to explain why they hate Wakey, if you are of the male gender do us a favour and grow a pair and then you might just tell us what spurs you on in this hate fuelled crusade of yours against us, If it gets worse then I truly fear for your health, my dads the same he hates John Kear, but with a little counciling from me its has helped him tremendously, so pm me please it does you good to talk, I am sure I can help you before it takes over your life completely, and if you ever get time off from regurgitating the insults against us i will be happy to talk about rugby as well, ring me please I can help you.

Your interest in the gender and genital size of other posters is duly noted. this thread is about the Giants vs wakey friendly.

In addition to all the young talented players being fielded by the Giants - all british - there is another satisfying fact when you look at the five 'senior players':

Lunt, Kirmond, Raleigh, Patrick & Griffin. Four of that five were given their SL chance by the Giants. Furthermore 3 of these 'senior guys' are aged 22, 23 and 25. Very encouraging.

Where have i stated i 'hate' Wakefield ??

what i dont like is how a large proportion of their fans did/have/continue to and probably always will spout crap ,hatred and nonsense about my club and its people - it left me and other Huddersfield fans with a sour taste in our mouths at the time and the fact that our club is now prospering on and off the pitch while there's is literally crumbling and dying in front of them in my eyes is justice for those people !!

I dont hate Wakefield Trinity i laugh at them and there annoying crap spouting fans who at the time believed they would always be above us - the tables have turned and now were supposed to have sympathy for the same people who hoped our club and people running it died a slow death and never bothered a Rugby League ground again - not a chance form me and many other of our fans i would imagine ! - mind ya we dont seem to see much of the aforementioned idiots anymore since we have become a well organised competitive club !!

You haven't but I hate them with a passion.

Don't you feel you have bigger issues at present that worrying about a users gender and abusing members on here? Maybe you feel the AUP doesn't apply to you and you can come on here to vent your frustrations at your clubs current run in with the HMRC?


We are. We are playing Saints on Saturday. That's way the majority of the squad won't be coming to Belle Vue today. That's what happens - we put out our first team against top opponents like Saints and Hull KR.
