well it is that time of the year the pussycats at home.

Should be a comfortable win for the Giants but like a couple of years ago if we take them lightly they will shock us and push us all the way.

look forward to seeing what the line up will be next week. I am led to believe that next week will be the last game in which NB experiments and after tha will be settling down with what he regards as his A team so i would expect some changes again.

Hope the Giants fans turn out in force. i would not expect many wakefield fans after what we have domne to them over the years but those that do turn up deserve some credit as they are real fans.

Take them lightly, and we could come unstuck, alright they're losing to Leeds now but for 50 minutes they were having a good go at it.

YOU'LL NEVER BEAT THE GIANTS

everything points to a giants win here, fa'alogo, griffin and lunt to return

raleigh to drop out along with a few others...

will be intresting to see how greg johnson plays against us...up against mcgillvary maybe?!, i predict hes going to be a very good super league winger... and has scored a few tries already.

they did well to beat hull and catalans away dont think giants will take them lightly at all, dont think we take any team lightly really after the defeat to salford last year and with so many players playing for there positions

Think nb wil change again.. That's one of the benefits of our deep squad. Might give a rest to LOD - he deserves one. Big player for us come playoffs. I think wakey will be big win - the players who come in will not be taking wakey easy, as they will be playing for their places for next week.
Have we got the biggest squad in sl ?

You really do have something against this fella don't you, and you don't even try to hide it!!
I'm pretty sure he will be playing against Wakefield.

as always a game we should win,however wakey are like a wounded animal at the moment and you just dont know what they could be capable of,could be capable of an upset here.
anyway for those who have forgotten our last 10 games against them

01/08/2010 Huddersfield 58 V 6 Wakefield
06/03/2010 Wakefield 0 V 52 Huddersfield
05/07/2009 Huddersfield 30 V 14 Wakefield
24/05/2009 Wakefield 6 V 54 Huddersfield
15/06/2008 Wakefield 28 V 26 Huddersfield
12/04/2008 Huddersfield 16 V 18 Wakefield
09/09/2007 Huddersfield 24 V 22 Wakefield
15/07/2007 Wakefield 23 V 24 Huddersfield
06/05/2007 Huddersfield 36 V 12 Wakefield
06/04/2007 Huddersfield 56 V 12 Wakefield

4 times we have put 50 past them,but they have surprised us twice in that time,im sure kear will be saying right lads enough is enough and browny will say keep it going
let battle commence

We have a 5 day turn around between Wakey and the Wolves. So I would look to rest a couple of key props, I would give Fa'alogo another week off and possibly rest O'Donnell. We would slill have a pack like:

Griff
Lunt
Raleigh
Gilmour
Kirmond
Ferguson

+ a bench of Horne / Patrick / Robbo / molloy (possibly Fuey)

That is a very good quality pack.

To have Mace / Eorl / LOD and Fa'alogo all fresh for the following Friday would be a big advantage.

how come we have to play wire twice in the first 9 games?

first game was magic weekend fella,luck of the draw

but with mm games pre organised, they could have arranged fixtures better so as not to have this situation

It's better than last year when we played Wigan twice in three games.

You're right though it is odd and looking at the fixtures every MM fixture is repeated in round 11 except for ours and Salford Crusaders. If I was the suspicious sort I'd suggest we were originally supposed to play Crusaders and Salford Warrinton being the other 'Derby' but someone decided Us v Warrington and Salford Crusaders would be closer matches.

Could be worse we played Wigan & Warrington four times in four weeks last season which was pretty tough going. ATEOTD you've just got to crack on and NB has a big enough and experienced enough squad at his disposable to rotate effectively.

By all accounts Wakefield gave a good account of themselves on Sunday against Leeds, however struggled to convert all the field position and possession they had, similar story to when they played Warrington a few weeks back.

Can’t see the Giant’s taking Wakefield lightly, no disrespect to Wakefield but I can’t see anything other than a Giant’s win by a respectable margin.

hopefully we will win, but if you underestimate the opposition then they will hurt you

not that i dont like him...just dont rate him at prop.

came in for griffin and i know which id play in my first team!

raleigh should of been busting a gut trying to impress against hull kr seeing as it was his chance but he didnt produce anything special.

He did a solid job, probably doing what he was told to do.
