lets have Fev

Lets hope it's an easy draw and avoid the SL clubs. Lot less confident of making progress than I was this time last week.

me too but I'll stick to my bet

For me whitehaven away or Toronto home

Too much time on yer hands squire.

yes pal still not working as yet, won't be back in engineering as well so gawd knows what I'll do

nice draw shudds

Could have been a lot worse

I think Shudds will fancy their chances and look at it as a favourable draw. Poor tie from MC's point of view. Would've been better to get knocked out by Cas with a good shared gate.

He'll be happy when we're at Wembley

How refreshing was the draw on Radio 2. More professional and informative than draws over tge past few years.

Always nice to get a bye in the first round!

As in goodbye?

should have a new coach in place by then and a few bodies back too, pleased with the draw this side.

play each other week after at magic weekend too!

think the game will be played on a thursday night due to football on the sunday and they have a 48hr no game on the pitch beforehand policy with the FA

then again just noticed if its on the thurday you will have a short turnaround playing sunday and we play the friday before... cant see you agreeing to that... interesting !! could there be a switch of stadiums...

It would make sense to switch it for for the increased attendance at Bellevue

or even we could walk into the next round, come on shudds aren't setting the place on fire are they

Doubt it, Hudds will bring around 100 supporters, our travelling support will be close to 1000 so will work out around same if not a bit more at Hudds.

doubt it. wakefield couldnt even muster 3k for the last fixture between us two teams

One thing that always winds me up.....in a not really very wound up way, is the singing and criticism of Giants attendances.

It's not like I'm bothered for their sake but singing songs to the Huddersfield fans at a game saying they are poorly attended is a bit nonsensical to me. They at poorly supported compared to the investment and the stadium size, but the guys that are there you are singing at, are actually the good ones who attend and support their team. They actually deserve a round of applause.
You'd be better off going in to the pubs in Huddersfield and singing to them as they are the ones causing the issue by not coming to the game.

Anyway, just thought I'd get that off my chest



For the rugby, it's a potential banana skin. Right now I think we'd beat them but with new coach and a bit of time, they could be targeting us as their comeback game so we need to be on it if we want a cup run.

Brearley, I see you are still making things up to suit your agenda, and can I remind you it was you that suggested they might switch the venue, I merely gave a good reason why

spot on PT - all of it.

A lot of the stuff with the Giants seems to stem back to the perceived protection that they were given all those years ago and the subsequent "merger" with Sheffield, who's place they effectively took in SL (we're all still waiting for them to play some games in Sheffield as part of the deal).
Add to this they way thet they behaved when we were in the mire a few seasons ago, when they raped and pillaged our squad.
Fans will always look for something to have a pop about with the opposition of the day and let's face it, they certainly have a better ground, albeit, just a tad too big for RL.

I get your point about going round the pubs of Huddersfield but, we ought to start that one a little closer to home.
Also, when its there to be flung, the mud goes in both directions

Don't forget the underhand way they were originally promoted to Super League too.
