Nothing from Wakey but Salford have struggled recently with one eye on the cup semi probably. If they were to reach Wembley I think they'll suffer in the league and comfortably miss out on the top 4.

Wakey have been pretty impressive this season and i don't see any sign of them crumbling at all, The thing about S L this season though is that you cant pick the winner of any game with any certainty.
Regards the Giants, last season aside, we have been in the running and collapsed in the crunch games , maybe being outsiders will change our approach and performances , we may not be able to win anything but we can still influence things.

Just making the 8 - and with a game to spare is a massive achievement for us, remember most of our own fans had us down for another bottom/MPG finish only a matter of weeks ago, anything above 8 is now a bonus to me, the fact we still have a chance of the top 4 is amazing and would be huge if we made it, but i'm more than happy with 8th and enjoying the next 7/8 games without pressure.

Looking forward to Friday to see if qualifying has released some pressure off the players and they play without fear and enjoy themselves.

same here, happy with 8th all things considered and finishing 14th last season, improvement in anyones book!

to make the top 4 giants will have to prob win 7 of the last 8 games and hope results elsewhere go their way too. what are the odds on that!

can get 80/1 on giants winning the grand final

Many of you coming over on Friday?

this game still too early for lawrence and turner, but i dont see any need to rush them anyway not top 8 is secured.

mellor and ridyard to return... so gaskell prob go back to centre and ridyard in the halves with brough.

all 5000 of us... well apart from me, im in spain this friday.

Nah, usual 250 i reckon.

Hull's never been one of the more popular away trips.

How sad that some people are happy to be ambitionless. Settle just to make the top 8.
Before a ball had even been thrown there were many on here saying how much better the squad was and were contenders. Funny isn't it how people's thinking changes. we had a truly awful start due partly to injuries and partly because Stone as coach couldn't get the players to buy in.
whilst ever we are happy to be middle plodders that's where we will stay.

some are just being realistic

start of the season after finishing 14th from 14 last year a top 8 finish was the aim, even the players said that too... and if they were in contention to make the top 4 they will go for it...unfortunately they arent really in contention for the top 4..unless something amazing happens.

the few are getting their hopes up for a top 4 spot... then will be slagging the team off in a few weeks and this board will be going into meltdown once again

Kendall refeering us as usual......

I certainly take your point jools, I was one who said at start of season that survival was the main aim after the nightmare of last season, We have achieved that now ,but to start talking about saving ourselves and building for next season and settling for survival is exactly the reason we never win anything, If we are going to throw the towel in after 23 rounds , whats the point, we may as well just buy a ticket for 23 rounds because we look unlikely to win anything.

Personally i don't mind getting beaten if they play well and are beaten by a better side, but we can still have a say in how things end ,and to be fair we owe it to the game to try to win every match otherwise the whole thing just becomes a joke. I'm afraid there are to many Giants fans who will settle for anything, They are just so relieved at having survived they will settle for anything. Talk about knowing your place.
