probably an hour before kick off

That's the way I see it. Monday is by far the biggest test of the season so far and would be very tough even with a full strength squad to pick from.

If we can keep within a couple of tries of them but then back it up with a Cup win, I'd be more than happy.

We have rested four players who will play in the cup O'Donnell, Faiumu, Gilmour and Ferguson think you will find our pack ain't as big as you think but a lot quicker !!! Suggests that while Nathan Brown would like two points he see's the cup match as more important in the very short term. Also rested Grix, F'alago, Mason with main men off the field last 20 v Salford suggests while he would want to win both if he has to take one it's Sundays cup match.

I see no reason why we can't win this one.
Huddersfield scored the same amount of points as us on Friday against arguably a weaker (overall Salford have scored less points than Rovers and also conceded more) team than we played, and also had more scored against them.
While there's no doubt the players will be tired, I think we pretty much breezed through that second half. Once Rovers tired they didn't off anything to challenge our defensive line and we kept them out with strong and well disciplined defence.
Yes, it was a derby, but there was no intensity from Rovers. I don't think our players will be feeling as fatigued as some people may think.

Obviously I may be wrong, it's all my own opinion, however I think we will give the Giants a really good game and a win wouldn't surprise me.

I remember last Easter when no-one gave us much chance at Warrington who were scoring points for fun.We played what IMO was a more intense derby than Fridays while Wire had a training session against Salford.

Its going to be tough but I wouldn't be suprised if we dont come away with a win.

we may not have beat salford as much as people may have expected but salford played well and we never left second gear once we made the game safe we may have gone down another gear clearly saving our selves for the 2 big games against you.

shall be 2 interesting games against the current top 2 to close games im going for. as for injurys we had a massive injury crisis coming into the season and managed to win at wigan with 8 first team players missing so can be done.

The coach leaves at 12.30.

Hope for a good performance tomorrow.
Think we will just get beat. As long as we push them will not be to disappointed.

Got Hudds in my bets on Hull +8 FT! YOU HULL!!

I think we can do them! Rovers did them over easily, No reason the best defence in the league can't do the same!

Hull win by 6

Wow, Breaking News.....

Sandycock or Agar....... or both?

Steady drizzle over here this morning. Probably suit their pack more than ours.

Think it could just be a bridge too far, would love to turn them over but be very suprised.

Wont be a lot in it though I think.

My head says a game too far and Huddersfield by 10-16. My heart says PG has installed a belief and steel into us that could see us winning by 6-10.....its great being a Hull fan at the moment!!

We need to get right into Broughs face, his kicking game is a big danger.

thats a big task, one of the only players in the league who can hand off with his forehead

Can't see us winning this. I'll end up getting soaked and we'll lose anyway

The way we have started playing I would normally want a dry pitch, but after a hard game on Friday I think a wet pich may be a bit of a leveller and may work in our favour overall.

Can't really see us getting a result but as others have said would sacrifice 2 points today for a cup win on Sunday. Seems Giants fans are thinking similar and with suggestion that Hudds are resting a couple of players (mind games?) it could be interesting

I dont think we will win but my head is saying we could.

i just dont no what to think. we've been playing really well lately but think it could be 1 game to far with all the injuries

We will win. It's a new era and a new belief. I think we are just in that catagory of teams who are just playing below the level required to win something ie:- Hull, Hudds, Cats, Wire. Saints, leeds, Wigan are still in that top bracket.

Not sure Brough is playing . picked up a knock against Salford

Are you related to Les Dawson?

put warrington in the top bracket as they have won 2 challenge cups, though failed in the play offs so far

not sure whats changed but reece lyne 18th man now. Training session yesterday so couple must of dropped out!
