Huge game for both sides on Thursday night, we looked like we needed a break, hopefully a few days off have recharged the lads. Houghton and Savelio okay with Scott likely fill in for Carlos in the centre. Huddersfield seem to have found their feet a little but I would still fancy us to get the win.

Could be a banana skin this one, they might have found some form at the right time.

As you say its a big game for us to stay in the hunt of the play offs and Huddersfield will want a win.
Hopefully the bit of time off will have helped to re energise the squad as they looked a little jaded the last couple of games.
Really need to start the game with a real intensity and pace and not allow Huddersfield to make it a slow stop/start game.

Don't think we've got a great record at Hudds ground, similar to Salford away.

Probably be the game Jake Conor refinds his form

BBBC Sport still have this fixture as a Friday kick off

Not bothered about Connor its McQueen we have to keep quiet.
Still one of the fastest and best second rows in S/L

Every game feels like must win for the playoffs now, and a defeat at any point and you'd start to consider playing the kids later in the season to get us ready for 2024. I think a week off will have refreshed the squad after a few injury niggles though.

Lane going to have to be on top of his game

On Lane that's a huge ask as can't remember the last time he performed anywhere near that.

Agree re McQueen he is a big threat and always seems to do well against us. Think Jake will either have another wow performance against us or be pretty meh, hoping for the latter.

Think this hits the nail on the head, we’re already in our Play offs. I think worst case scenario we can only lose 2 (maybe 3) games and still be in with out shout if top 6.

Considering we play Wigan, saints & Warrington we need to make sure we have no slip ups as you just don’t know what you’re going to get from them.

I don't think we have played that well the last 3 games, particularly the first halfs. Hudds seem to have turned a corner with two good wins, so we will have to play well or the result will go the same way as Salford and Leigh.

Must win game if we have any chance of finishing in the top 6.

Hudds practically at full strength. Fages is a big plus for them

Jebson in the 21 is interesting, apart from that squad picks itself

Shaul really hasnt had any luck this year with injuries, but it really shows how bad our cap management has been that we went into the season with him on high pay despite having Hoy, Litten, Wynne and a few others like Mcintosh who can play full back.

Think the poor cap management has been the biggest issue that TS has had to deal with.

Just a bit of S/L pre match build up experience.

Worth watching the first two Cas trys in the reserve game, Shaul gets beat easily for both trys. Unbelievably bad deal giving him a 3 year deal,probably earnt 300k for about 10 ganes.

Especially when you think at the time of the deal he was going to to be out long term with his knee injury. Should have been a 1 year deal with a mutual deal at the end on him making a full recovery from his injury.

Think the club knew they dropped the ball with Shaul. We never announced his 3 year deal after he did his ACL.

Gave him a 3 year deal so he got his testimonial. Too much sentiment from up top unfortunately

That’s what I like about the way TS is going about the recruitment and rebuild with no sentimentality at all. It’s down to whether you are good enough and have the right attributes in terms of work ethic and attitude.

Definitely seem to be in good hands and on the right road at last with someone finally who knows what they are doing.

Satae, swift and co not good enough? Uncle Phoney manning a sinking ship unfortunately.
