Have to second that.

I don't, in any way, want to knock Danny Addy though, since he's had the guts to put his hand up and do the job he certainly doesn't deserve any brickbats, but he just isn't a half. The fact that we never really got onto the front foot against Saints didn't help his cause either - a regular half would find it hard to impose himself in those circumstances, let alone a stand in loose forward.

It will be a struggle to keep it decent on Sunday, I'm afraid, though I know the lads will fight to the end and I'll be very happy with that.

I think we will either win (just), or get hammered.
We need Kearney to partner Sammut in the halves to have any sort of chance though.

I realise Walker has had a good start to the season playing LF but I'd move him the centre, move Blythe to wing, thus allowing Kearney/Sammut in the halves. Foster to full back and Addy to LF.
Addy might not be a half but he's been covering there above others for a reason and might be the most creative LF we have.
Sacrifice a bit of bulk in the pack for a bit more creativity on the pitch, which I realise is a risk against a big Huddersfield pack but we're unlikely to out muscle them anyhow.

Donno needs to be in at loose, he was one of the only positives to come out of that Saints game. Tackling machine.

Oh and I'd start with Nas and Scruton. Don't think Sidlow starting worked at all. His impact later in games has been ok otherwise.
I like Donaldson and agree about his tackling, but I don't think we'll tackle the Giants into submission, so I'd try adding more attacking options which I feel means Addy at loose.

We need to try and wear them down, a big pack cant go on forever.

Instead of battering them man for man double up on them even our props, we can see that the players fitness has increased greatly, Hudds seems to be like a battering ram they will keep coming but last week wakey absorbed the pressure then as the game went on Hudds began to tire and wakey scored 2 tries and could (some argue should) have won.

I expect a Huddersfield win, but I just want to see us perform better and hopefully pick up no injuries as Widnes (A) and Hull KR (H) are both very winnable.

We will whup them, they know it, I know it and you know it.

how times have changed,3/4 years ago it was us fearing another hammering and hoping we could keep it respectable.
but we did tell you it would happen one day

Whoop whoop need a smaller hook Meast ya had a bite already mate.

The Giants so far have been good, bad, good and bad so hopefully continues and we have a good week. If the forwards get on top will be a painful 80 minutes for Bradford, will be far from easy though and we need to step it up a gear.

Is anyone else having a dilemma over this game? I don't want to put any money In that clubs coffers, but I've gone to this match for years and want to support the boys.........or is it just me

I would stay away Northern lad save ya pennies ;-0)

If it was 40% of the gate receipts from the Giants support then that would be about 8 quid TBF.
