As a Giants fan, all year we have had to put up with the 'when will the slump start' comments, most tongue in cheek i must add, well isn't it ironic that it now appears that its the mighty, marvellous Wigan who seem to be having it rather than us, allowing the Giants to close the gap on them to a single point and blow the League Leaders race wide open with the 2 meeting at the DW in August in what could be a decider !!

No one questioned whether Wigan would lose games and were all waiting for us to fail.

Oh and before anyone pulls me or my club to pieces over this it is meant in a light-hearted way and more tongue in cheek winky winky banter than a bigheaded Giants fan or anti Wigan thread.

Wigan need Tomkins playing or they struggle. I'm not saying for one moment they're a one man team but he's a great influence and has a massive presence when he steps foot on the field.

What's their wins to losses ratio when he hasn't played?

I think it's more to do with other players missing really

When Wigan went 3 clear the other week I thought it was a done deal for them to win the LLS, just shows its not over till the last week!

Looking at the fixtures for the top 3 I would say Hudds looks the best run-in, 2 tricky ones though....Hull away and of course Wigan away.

Much could depend on the CC. Wigan favourites to progress whilst one of Wire or Hudds will be out, that'll free up the loser to concentrate on the league and avoid a possible pre/post Wembley/semi slip up.

Daz, your annual slump will start on July the 21st 2013.

Some of your post is sensible (re structures)

Some of it is utter garbage.

I'm glad I'm not the only one thinking that.

We're having a slump? We should have beat Wire with 9 players missing through injury and lost to an in form Cas side with 9 missing again and with only a 4 day gap between fixtures. I thought Castleford were exceptional as well.

Its great to see Huddersfield managing to string more then 2 months worth of form together but let's see how they're doing come the Wire Challenge cup tie. That's the acid test of their credentials.

I'd probably focus on that if I were a Huddersfield fan.

Trophies aren't won in June or July. Let's see how Huddersfield's form is around the end of August when the trophies start being handed out.

Tempting fate a bit here, still a third of the season remaining, one game at a time for me!...... It is very exciting though
