I expect, well, I hope, we'll raise our game!

Play like Friday and we'll be lucky to score zilch.

C`mon Cabbie,you are depressing even me.You are usualy shouting from the rooftops about juggernauts,and smashing the opposition.
Liven up,lets hear your rallying call!

Big Willies biggest test yet....

Playing against his former team mate in O'donnell, add Crabtree, Fa'alogo and Keith Mason...

As I said, his biggest test in Superleague so far....

We're low on confidence
Just about all of our players have been on the end of the forum finger of blame so far
Poor defence bordering on pathetic at times
Missing important/key players
Playing our bogey team in every sense
It's on Sky

Home win stamped all over it .... =#FFFFFFeither that or another Hudds hammering on the cards

That's what i'm thinking too

No need to worry Ponner. Durham Giant already knows how well your forwards will play so clearly we'll be crushed.

Dont blame me just because i tipped you to slaughter Salford

Will Newton be back for this game?

Not unless he recovers in 2 weeks instead of the reported 6 he's out for.

Thanks. Such a good player.

Yet more poor diary planning means I'll be missing this inevitable dry humping.

Update re Giants: www.examiner.co.uk/huddersfield- ... -28379099/ Woud expect all 4 England Knights players who had a week off to return.

Looks like we are missing Fa alogo and simpson.

who do you think will miss out for us? personally i would leave out Latus and cockayne, Willie and taylor to start in the back row with Galea at 13 but Latus and taylor will probably be the 2 to miss out.

Latus and Taylor are the likely casualties from the 19. Personally i would give Cockayne a breather from life in the forwards. In my opinion he is starting to suffer from playing back row every week and having to mix it with far bigger men. Taylor should take his role on at the minute.
Given our current predicament on the wings with them all out of form i wouldnt be adverse to seeing Cockayne slotted out their or Latus given a shot.

The one area of criticism JM deserves is his reluctance to use the younger ones in their own positions, he would rather play a centre / fullback in the 2nd row.

Ben has been putting in big efforts and thats a very fair point. Still cant see him been rested though.

well one thing we do know is that jason netherton will feature, he seems to be a favorite of justins as he makes sure hes slotted in somewhere whenever available, id just keep him away from 13, nethers did very well in the front row against crusaders but last week he was straight back in at 13

Even the lights can't bear it

22-10 Giants

Now wheres that lightswitch!

Have the Sky microphones gone the same way as the floodlights? Only I can't hear a whisper from the crowd...

Err, after a 30+ defeat what would you expect?, dancing in the stands?. Still, its a better atmosphere then the KC, except when Rovers do their annual demolition of Hull.

Looking at both teams recent attacking play I think I'm going to stick my money on a 0-0 draw in the derby! Rovers are lost without Dobson, and Hull can't even play 1-man rugby properly at the moment!
