we seemed to have handled Brough easily enough on both our previous encounters with hudds this season and im expecting the same again on sunday,i know its a cup game,one off game etc but im quitely confident about a wire win on sunday, and by a bigger margin than most ppl are expecting ! cant wait!

Stop Brough stop Hudds? I don't subscribe to that, don't give their centres space to work, get in the faces of their forwards, i've seen Brough have quiet games and Hudds still play a bit. Concentrate on one guy and you leave yourself open from the other 12.
I remember the the England game v New Zealand, NZ were so preoccupied with Rangi Chase and taking him out the game (which they did) they forgot about the rest of the team.

I don't remember Brough ever having a good game against us. Hopefully he doesn't start this week.

I predict that fella with the same name as superman's dad will be in for a busy afternoon, he's gotspot player in defence written all over him

Marlon Brando?

Millenium Magic is the one i remember! Love our trips over to the Halliwell Jones, i just hope we play like we know we can! See you all on Sunday.

Looking forward to this game, hope its a 'cracker' with a large BBC viewing audience seeing what our game can offer, can go either way, home advantage could swing it for Wire.

I am the habitual pessimist, but really not feeling good about Sunday. Hope I am proved wrong! How great is it to have four televised games to look forwards to eh?

Gutted that when I gave the wife a list of weekends that I couldn't go on holiday I somehow managed to miss this weekend off my list. Going to have to make do watching on TV in a bar in Majorca.

Going in the morning, just hope it doesn't feel too cold when we step off the plane in Palma.

Looking forward to it , as i do with a all my trips over there - then the game starts



Hopefully we can put up a bit of a match for you this time, one things for certain - whoever wins this game i want to win the cup !!.

Hope to have some good banter as we always do with the Wire lot pre and post match - just dont go too hard on us please, see ya Sunday

I think that home advantage gives the Wire the edge in this one for me, but I feel if the weather is really hot then that might swing it to Huds. One thing for sure if it’s very tight at the end and it starts to be a drop goal a-thon the skull will match Briers drop-for-drop. Looking forward to this one.
