| Broughy needs to put Robinson in his place on Saturday!
Robinson will have heard all the guff about Danny being chased by the Giants and stuff like G Schoffield saying Brough should have been in the England team. He'll be targeting his dual with DB as a chance to show he's the better player.
When Broughy has him in his back pocket it will fall to the eratic Brown to pull the strings for Hudds and thats where BJ has to step up.
With the halfback tussle won the threat will come from the Giants hookers and their party peice of pinching a couple of baby tries from a yard out. We need to be vigilant around the play the ball area near our line and not fall for their for their flannel like we did at the Galpharm last year.
The forward battle will be brutal and we need to stand up to the Giants front rowers, I have no doubts about Tronc but Korki needs to get back to his best as well. My real worry for us will come when we have to spell the props as, so far this season, we have lost momentum when we do this.
Richard Moore has done OK but we really need another big impact prop in the absence of King (fitness and form) and Bibb(?).
Our backrow is where we should have an advantage and their advantage is Hodgson attacking threat from fullback.
The threequartersare evenly matched!
Wakey by 7

| I personally dont feel the three quarters are evenly matched, giants win that
We win the half back battle although BROWN is more dangerous than robinson.
The forward battle will be tough and having seem them vs wire they stood up very well and arguably beat them with crabtree coming off the bench, we need to have 4 PROPS this week.
We win back row and they've obv got the full back with hodgson, although he wasnt too influential last week..
Gonna be very very tough.
Home advantage vs their hoodoo over us ... hmm arr.. eek.... :/

That point in the game will win it or lose it for us, its a worry
Hodgson unlikely to play.

| We don't have the French refereee who,presumably unintentionally collides with players,but the favourite referee of Keith Senior is the V.R. and Thaler is the man in the middle.

| Silverwood as video ref. Bearing in mind how ropy his voice sounded in the World Club Challenge I would say best place for him, but the trouble is, he's doing so when his beloved fart-town are involved. So we just need to doubly make sure that any tries we do score are ligit and straight beyond all question. Plus, I would to see the fart-towners dare try and wind up the likes of Tronc, Leo-Latu, Korki, Morrison, Moore, et al...
Memo to our pack, don't go easy on the shudders, they don't deserve any mercy whatsoever!

| No B.Hodgson but then again we didn't have him playing last season in the fixture. If Wakey win it'll be a low scoring game as we very rarely concede more than 20 points. Our problem last week was lack of enthusiasm which has been a rarity under Nathan Brown. Should be a decent game though. See you in the bar before the game.

| Main questions are: who should we put on the wings and at full back? Did Blaymire do any better than Murphy at FB, and is Blanch ready? and do we need extra beef in the forwards? Are King or Johnson (ever) available?

Wakey by 7'" i'd agree with most of that but can't see why you doubt korki. imo him and tronc have been outstanding. can't see he has done much wrong from the start of the season. can't fault his effort or commitment but do agree when korki and tronc come off we seem to lose momentum

no blaymire was at fault for eastmonds try, think murphy would have had him. bring blanchey back on to the wing and murph back to fullback imo. king must have had a pretty goog rest by now and would add some muscle and aggression to the forwards. in jk we trust though.

Because of the start to the season Korki has had it was enevitable that at some stage he would have a poor game by the standards he has set himself. Imo that blip was against the Saints and tbh he was not the only one what could not hold the ball, I think its a bit unfair to say that Korki needs to get back to his best after one mediocre game.
