| Not expecting to win but I'm hoping for a better performance from the players. We NEED Gale back.

| Looking forward to this. Should be a big crowd and we've seemed to have built up a bit of a rivalry which is a good thing.
This is going to be a tough one! Especially with Huddersfields massive pack. Every single player needs to stand up and be counted if we are to pull off a win. We need to drop Addy and put Kearney at 6.
Think it will be a good, tough game, maybe even a little bit tasty with the Kopczak factor as well. Can only see a Giants win in all honesty but I will be there cheering the lads on.

I hope he doesn't, as it would probably result in a penalty/red card/ban in today's game.
I think we should just get through this game, damage limitation mode. Realistically we are nowhere near their level even with a fully fit squad, at the patched up state we are now we have no chance. I'd much rather us focus on the games following this one, and I would consider victories over Widnes and KR far more achieveable than a win at the Galpharm.

Very true, especially with the shoulder charge now banned.

| Hmm if I'm being realistic I can see this being a 40-50 point game in Huddersfield's favour. They have a huge pack and quality halfbacks plus a creative 3/4 line. We have a patched up team.
Damage limitation....hopefully come through the game with no injuries and try keep them below 30 and try get a couple of tries ourselves to help our points difference. Then try smash Widnes and Hull KR in the following weeks and get some bodies back (Bateman).

| Need to be a hell of a lot smarter with the ball to get close to a result at a Huddersfield. Not sure we have the personnel available to get a result but will be going regardless and hope they put in a decent performance.
Won't be good for confidence to be on the receiving end of another hammering.

If Bateman is back combined with Donaldson being back in reckoning and Olbison going well, does this give us enough back row options to consider switching one off Whitehead or Walker to centres and putting Kearney back in halves?. We've looked very short of ideas with Addy there IMO. To have any chance against Hudds we'll need to turn their forwards round with a good kicking game.

If Bateman is back then thats a massive plus for us. The first person i'd drop from Saturdays game is Addy. Just watched SL full time and his defensive efforts were a disgrace and i think he needs to be shifted out to Dewsbury.

| I think you're being a bit hard on your boys in this thread so far. I've only seen 1 of your games thus far which was against Cas and was quite impressed. The other 3 games i've only seen highlights which you totally hammered Wakey who we struggled against yesterday and the Hull fc & Saints games which were never going to be easy. You've got some dangerous players so I doubt the Giants players or fans are expecting an easy game by any means. IMO it will be another tough test for our boys that i'm looking forward to. Hope you bring a good following over and don't forget kids under 12 are free.

The point is that the teams we have beaten did not have the biggest pack of forwards in the league, or were missing key players (Chase and Smith).
Saints and Hull both have sizeable forwards and dominated the matches we played against them. The Hudds pack is arguably the biggest in the league, plus you have almost a fully fit squad to pick from. From a Bulls pov this Sunday is not going to be pretty, I fear.

| We just need to KISS (Keep It Simple Stupid), far to ofter we try the fancy and it blows up in our faces.
BK and JS in the halves, kear at HB, chev at LF donno back into 2nd row and Whitehead to centre with blythe to wing, and bateman interchange of the bench, and jobe murphy of the bench also, he will add some fire as he will want to make and impression i think, what we really need to do is avoid injuries.
Another thing are we retaining diskin after his year as the couple of games i have seen him play he was poor and we only play well when heath is on the field.
