The start of the Super 8's and first up it's Shudds away.
They have been in really good form of late and managed to avoid the middle 8's and since our win against them they have won 5, drawn 1 and lost only 2 of their last 8 SL games and those losses came away at Hull FC and Salford, which is very good form and they go into the game just about at full strength, apart from Mamo.
Their fans seem confident of beating us and it will be a very tough fixture (just like all of our Super 8's games).
Our pack is more than capable of getting on top and if Fifita is anything close to full fitness, he could be the difference for us as they have really struggled to contain him.
The possible return of Miller ?, may give us a further boost as well.

It will be another close game 6-8 points and could go either way.

Come on Trin !

Pretty much all of them think they'll smash us every time we play them. I think they'll probably win but two pretty evenly matched teams so could just come down to the odd big moment or two.

Bearing in mind that Carter said on the radio yesterday that he thought we needed 5 wins from 7 to guarantee a top 4 spot then it's a game we have to be targeting to win.

Regardless of the 4, this is the most likely win.
If we can't win this one we are going to struggle.

It's a Yorkshire dominated top eight and the record against Yorkshire teams this year has not been great.

I think this is the game for Jowitt to come in. Brough will pepper us with high kicks and max is allot better at dealing with them then Grix

Give it a rest! Sit down and let chris chester pick the team ive more faith in him than the keyboard coaches on here.

I'll be giving this one a miss. Will try to get to the rest of our games though.

This

its a must win if we are to make top 4

As a keyboard fan with an opinion, I too would like to see Jowitt at the back.

I'm sure Broughy will be hoping it's Grix though.

I hope this doesn't turn into a Grix v Jowitt thread as well, please

Let's shut this forum down god forbid anyone dare to express an opinion ffs

This is not a hard question But how many years did Grix play fullback at Huddersfield? Then ask yourself why.

You're certainly entitled to an opinion, who has suggested otherwise? The coaches have access to far more information than speccies, they have far more experience to call upon, and the results impact their careers and livelihoods.

So yes I will have a view on team selection, but I trust the coaching staff to make the right decisions even if they differ from my opinions.

Oh sorry didnt know only you could have an opinion.

For the games Sky have already picked every one seems to be a cracker on paper.
Going to all the Cas games but looking forward to watching the others on TV

If you don't agree with my opinion debate it Telling folk to "give it a rest" and peddling out the old cliche "I prefer to leave it to the coaching staff" means we might as well shut the forum down as most of the opinions offered are about the players and who should be in the team

In my opinion Grix is extremely uncomfortable under the high kick, an area that in my opinion max is very good so given who we are playing Max would seem the better option at full back

So having worked with him all those years who better to know and exploit his weaknesses

I feel your pain, but these days you're either one of the gang or your not.

Just stop sniping at each other and talk about the Huddersfield game.

Who are the officials for Friday, I hope it's not our resident referee from shudds again.

I know I shouldn't be saying this as it is only game 1 of 7 but i really think this is a must win if we are to stand a chance of making the top 4.

All seven are must wins. One - to get us in the playoff semi finals and Two - puts pressure on the RFL to look at our situation more favourably.

Who better to play full back than one who knows Broughy ? Though I concede Brough is rather unpredictable.

The danger with this game is that Hudds are on an upward curve where as we are flatening out somewhat. Lets hope Miller. if playing, will spark us into life somewhat.
