Should we bother turning up on Sunday
Nathan Brown, Hodgson and now Mason reckon that they will beat us, we aren't really good enough?
Perhaps they are over confident?

I don't understand why people are moaning about this. There are several threads about Huddersfield's supposed overconfidence.

They have every right to be confident. They are playing better than we are and are in a much better position that we are with regards to injuries.

They have a cracking chance of beating us at the weekend.

What the hell they supposed to say "No, we dont stand a chance, we might as not well bother coming"?

Its about creating the belief in the Giants camp that they can take on any team on the day, especially the most successeful team in the comp in the past few years.

i agree with what you say, but mason says that he thinks that long and k c are old and past it,

a few years ago, allen hunte said roughly the same in a semi final against leeds, and guess what happend, widnes mouthed off about "dads army" in the final of 76, guess what happend, things where said before the final against wigoon at murrayfield, guess what happend again, let them say whatever they want to, hopefully saints will use it as an extra incentive, and just get on with our own game.

Dropkick Murphy..we actually saw and heard a mass of bouncing and scarf and flag waving to Dale Cavese that drowned out anything we could muster.. It stopped us singing our own celebratory songs, it died out seconds later when we accepted we couldn't be heard over the Wigan lot Celebrations muted from us, job done from them. Most fans who slag them off are jealous their own club's support is nowhere near that good - sally cinnamon..Why not discuss Wigan? It's a rugby league message board. Wigan are the most famous brand in rugby league - Tre Cool..Saints fans are hopeless unless it's a cup final or grand final. Wigan fans are so much more loyal and passionate - the flying biscuit..Wires havent been massively succesful over the years, but I've spoke to Brian Bevan And he spoke to me and i wouldnt swap that for Wigans History, ever - Ande..on the TV i could only hear the Wigan fans with about 10 to go - Saint94..Every team is in your feckin shadow, we all know - FIOS:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_39110.jpg

Quote: odemwingie "They are having their best season for many years and people are blaming them for being over confident
Confidence in camp can be preceived differently from over-confidence and "cheap talk" in the press although alot of it is mis quoted, especially when playing a side that hasnt lost in the comp for over 4 years, and again top of the league ladder.

The biggest challenge saints face is in the forwards, if we can hold our own without Cayless and Maurie than Im more than confident our backs and halves can win us the game.

The only team that can be over-confident for this semi-final is us. Huddersfield know they need to perform. There will be no lack of commitment or concentration by them on Sunday. We need to be on the top of our most clinical game.

except my statement of fact was entirely relevant to the previous discussion in the thread where yours was completely irrelevant. You'd have been as well declaring that the sky is blue or that night follow day. Both facts but irrelevant.

Would you rather the Giants players and fans say we don't stand a chance? You'll still be favourites but with the way our defence is of late, I/we fancy our chances. That's no disrespect to Saints, just the feel good factor most of us Giants fans are experiencing. I'm 36 and never seen us playing as well. One thing is for sure, it should be a good game.
