Difficult game to predict the winner. Last Friday @ 9.30pm, i said Trinity, but the Giants win at Catalans was just as good and unexpected as our win v Wigan. I’m thinking home advantage and the dreaded Trinity win by 10 points prediction by Schofield could be our downfall. I’m going to the game, and I hope we have a decent following, the players seem to get a big lift with the crowd behind them. I wonder is Mark will stick to the same team, or have we anyone coming back from injury?

Personally I'd go with the same team.
Lino is meant to be coming back but I'm really not sure I'd put him in.

Surely there will be a fair few going on Friday.

Everyone I have spoken too seems to be travelling, seems like there is a feel good factor creeping back around the club now...

Def go with same team for me ! Hope he doesn’t put Kay back to hooker … he’s too good a player not to be on the field . Playing out of his skin …. More of the same until it doesn’t work . Assuming no injuries of course
Tickets selling well when I was in getting ours

I agree.
If Lino does come back then Kay is back to 13 for me.

What are the odds on our favourite referee, former Huddersfield academy player, Mr. Kendall, being given the gig?

He does usually get this fixture to be fair.

He got them their win in Catalan. There is the saying 'Justice must be done and must seen to be done' The whole Kendell shudds relationship has a stench about it in my opinion. If there was an ounce of integratory in our game, he should not be reffing their fixtures

Unexpected win ? , Shudds have the biggest squad bar non in super league and old man Davey has thrown pots of money to get Watson the best available, so hardly a surprise or unexpected that at last they have played to their potential .

Pretty short knowing our luck

Wonder why? Must be Thalers turn

The Trin fans need to be there in good number and hopefully get the boys over the line.
Last week saw unexpected wins for both sides and Huddersfield will believe that they can beat us.
However, if our pack perform as they have for the last 4 weeks (I know we got done at KR), then, we can certainly win this but, it's going to be close and going to go to the wire.

If Lino is fit, he should play in the halves but, Kay also has to play, probably at 13

Agree with that except the Lino part. The 4 games he’s been missing have seen us look a completely different team in attack. Maybe coincidental but I’m a fan of rewarding performances and players who pull off big wins like Wigan and Salford and Lino will have to wait his turn.

I wouldn’t change round a single player from Wigan game injury permitting.

Looking forward to this one, here's hoping we can steal it.

I agree with sticking with a winning formula, Lino shouldn't drop straight in. Maybe put him on the bench and try him at 9.

Why would you drop Bowes or Hood for someone who has never played there?

I'd not put him straight on and I'd be interested to see him play in a different position.

Shudds likely to be missing Livett with dislocated shoulder and possibly Hewitt with a dead-leg ??

Not for me.
He either plays his regular position or he doesn't.
This isn't the time to try something new like that. And to be honest I think he'd get battered in the middle defense.

You've got to train differently to be a hooker.

Lino and Dagger in the halves with Kay in the loose forwards spot for me ,it’s not rocket science

Brave if he puts Lino back in. Our attack and ball movement has been improved drastically while he’s been out.

The team just beat Wigan who are sitting near the top. Keep the team the same. It’s definitely not rocket science.

Kay has been excellent this season, playing multiple positions to a high standard but, Lino is a better half and if fit, he should play.
Having said that, it's great that we have some options and Kay certainly deserves a spot somewhere.

The big issue would be if Lino coming back takes too much away from Dagger's offence.

Lino has wanted to do everything himself and we haven't varied our play sufficiently when he's been in.

Again, this should be different in a winning side and maybe he will trust those around him a little more ?

The big question for Lino will be whether he is better behind a forward pack going forward.

On current form though he is the more experienced half back......whether he is the better option at half back remains to be seen.

I wish we had Sts away or something to find out. We kinda need everything to work first time against Huddersfield.

Nice to have options. Kay has to play somewhere though.
And again, the option of him playing 13 worked before but the reason we were so dominant against Wigan pack was that we had 3 props on the field for the whole match. Kay improves the ball handling at 13 but reduces size.
