Wakey and Grix especially playing well at the moment, but they're not unbeatable. Will need a massive improvement from yesterday for us to get anything from this fixture. Without Brough and his kicking game we certainly look a bit short of ideas going forward.
Winnable but it's going to be very hard.

In the first game which seems like an eternity ago, it was Wakey for most of the game, but you won that, so you gotta say its winnable.
Wakey are tight at the moment, just playing their game, solid tactics nothing spectacular and going under the radar to a certain extent.
I don't see Shudds getting anything from this game, but ya never know.
Not having Broughy I think is a positive thing, personally I'd rather he played, his balance of destructive v constructive influence has been heavily weighted in the destructive section this season, at least now you have a replacement and don't "have" to pick him every game.

It really was not Wakey most of the game, Giants started on fire, scored easily then sat back made numerous errors which Wakey did very well to take advantage of. Second half Giants cut out the errors and played a bit more boring style. Giants deserved the win IMO. That said Wakey are a stronger more confident team now than they were then, Giants are the opposite with the losses of Lawrence, Symonds and Ta'ai through injury and the self inflicted absence of Brough. It's also at Belle View not the JSS, so all considered Wakey deserved favourites, but so were Leeds and Catalans when we beat them both, so a Fartown win is possible.

Really? Bet grix doesn't feel the same way- he was pooping himself having to deal with broughs kicking game!

Chris Kendall as the ref this week

kendall awful for us this season

Kendall was the ref for the first time these teams met this season. I remember us Wakey fans being quite frustrated with his allowing delays to the numerous drop outs in the final few minutes of the last game. Let's hope the ref is not a talking point by 10pm on Friday.

I wasn't at the game, but I read every report and none of them backed you up.

As for friday, anything is possible - the difference between top and bottom in this years SL is tight.

Wasn't at the game
Read every report

Clearly not this one on sky, which was the first one I came across when I searched...
It began so promisingly for Huddersfield and for teenage centre Sam Wood, who took a pass from Brough to score his first ever Super League try after four minutes, and three minutes later finished off some clever work from hooker Kruise Leeming to double his tally.
Brough was wide with both conversion attempts, though, and from then on Wakefield took control.
...... The game was in the balance until Ben Jones-Bishop made his mark with two tries in the last 15 minutes of the first half.
.......

Your on our board .... now that's desperate.

no taai

same team as sunday

Heads up there will be increased security checks on Friday night so you might want to set off earlier than usual.
