"I think they've got the best forward line in the competition. If they hadn't had such a slow start I think they'd be much higher up the league."

slow start :/

Yeah, I think I'd go with that

I'm never totally happy with Whitehead in the centres as opposed to second row, but I think he's a better option there than using Platt or Walker in the backs. But having Walker in the bench gives cover for backs AND forwards.

Also if Whitehead starts in the 2nd row then presumably that bumps Bateman onto the bench, and I'd rather him there from the start. He's not really an impact type player. I guess the other option would be Elima on the bench for the impact 'slot'. But, no, on balance I'd go with Mats line up

1. Ainscough
2. Purtell
3. Whitehead
4. Lulia
5. Platt
6. Addy
7. Jefferies
8. Hargreaves
9. Diskin
10. Manuokafoa
11. Elima
12. Bateman
13. Langley
14. Walker
15. Kopczak
16. Burgess
17. Olbison

Don't tihnk Pryce has done enough to be in the starting line up. Falling on the ball to score a try isn't good enough for me. Ainscoughs showed him up since he's come into the squad.

Ainscough looks enthusiastic plus he has pace to burn and willing to work for his team. Pryce has erm height

I know which I'd pick

Heavy rain overnight and more looking likely. Will these conditions be in our favour ?

Giants have sold out their allocation of 500 tickets. Their "feel good" is certainly taking hold!

Ainscough's problems have never been about his attack.

His defence has actually improved since being at the Bulls imo. Better option than Pryce anyway.

I've only seen him at Keighley pre-season. Terrible defence.
