Just thought I'd start a thread for you seeing as how you don't want to talk about it!!

We're looking forward to a cracker at our end. Hope you are too.

Thank you. Yes.

Yes it should have the making of a very good game. Lets hope the whistle blower, whoever he may be, doesn't make a cobblers of the game. Do we know who is reffing yet?

Ben Thaler With Bald Bentham as VR

...and childs as flag waver.

Our worst nightmare

is there many of you coming over to .........Fax ?

Well apparently we were only given 500 tickets, though they were nearly all gone weds morning. since then i've read on your forum the game is no longer all ticket.

Dont think it was ever all ticket, it wasn't on general sale until the deadline for Giants season ticket holders passed so the club had an idea how many would be taken by ST holders

here are the squads

Grix, Lawrence, Cudjoe, Gilmour, Hodgson, Brown, Brough, Crabtree, Robinson, Griffin, Fa'alogo, Faiumu, Mason, Raleigh, Kirmond, Patrick, Horne, McGillvary, Wardle.
squad

Arundel, Aspinwall, Chase, Clark, Dixon, Emmitt, Ferres, Fozzard, Jackson, Jones, Mathers, Milner, Orr, Owen, Snitch, Thompson, Walker, Widders, Youngquest.

Who have you got missing?

we only really have O'Donnell and Ferguson missing from first choice 17.

Huby, Hudson, Isa, McGoldrick are the four of the top of my head

Only Isa and Huby as Mcgoldrick and Hudson are fit but haven't made the 17.

Delighted to see four props in the squad- something I feel is crucial in these games, in particular against such a huge pack as the Giants have. Hope Martin Aspinwall is back too- despite Jordan Thompson having two storming games in the second row IMO, I think we may fair better with the size and guile of Aspinwall who should be hungry against his former club. I'd go with:

Mathers
Owen
Dixon
Arundel
Youngquest
Chase
Orr
Jackson
Milner
Emmitt
Jones
Snitch
Ferres

Clark
Widders
Fozzard
Walker

I think Kirk will find himself covering in the centres with Isa out, while the pack looks physically big enough to complete with a Huddersfield side that is capable of dominating teams when they play well. I think we will have to play very well to have a chance of winning, but if we stop the forwards getting a roll on and close down the half back trio of Robinson, Brough and Brown, we will put ourselves in with a shout and hopefully edge it.

On casforum they are saying goldies knee is very swollen so i doubt he is fit.


For me
(if all fit)
