Sounds as if Wigan aren't opening the away end- so another farce with seating arrangements could be on the cards.

Is this confirmed as the RFL WC offer was for the North Stand (away end).

Which tickets are the Giants selling as if they are reserved seats in a single block of the side stand I can see no problem with that but if they are unreserved for the North Stand but for use in the reserved seats East Stand then it won't work.

Would you replace Murphy with him as broughton has said he prefers the left? For me Murphy did very little wrong last year, defensively sound and wasng he top try scorer with 20?! Also can cover full back if required! For me his place to lose.
Also playing a very good Wigan side I wouldn't want to have a third winger on the bench against a very physical side like Wigan!

Agreed there might be scope to switch wingers in other games but for this one we need to go for the jugular and hope their minds wander towards Oz rather than the task in hand and leaving us exposed to early knocks up front will not help the cause.

chan is injured isnt he? didnt play against hull kr so you would think he may not play this one.

prime time to play wigan?? i think they will be more than ready and ahead of us seeing as they have one of the biggest matches in oz soon after.

i think lawrence is a waste on the bench, you either play him 80mins and use him for the tackling machine he is or not at all as he makes no impact from the bench, much rather see taai from the bench for impact.

agree with espanyolswan about patrick, needs to get his mojo back, he was played in the 2nd row on sunday, maybe they will stick him there with no chan?

think murphy will start on the wing, until he is injured or needs a rest/loss of form then i cant see him being replaced... mcgillvary maybe the one who loses his place anyway

my ticket is for the NORTH STAND. purchased on saturday.

Broughton told me at the nandos thing it will be between him and smurph on the left wing.

young michael lawrence is an 80 minute man ! start him in the back row with ferres !

If Wigan want this it's a Wigan win. Hudds can't compete with Wigan if Wigan want it (see the playoffs last season).

However Wigan could have an eye on the WCC and rest a few or not go at this full throttle, if this is the case Hudds could win.

Hudds no doubt will be seeking revenge on Wigan, afterall they're probably still bitter about losing to Wigan when it matters.

Even if Wigan lose (which lets face it means nothing with the way the league is structured) they'll stlll beat the pretenders when it matters.

Hudds aren't a threat to Wigans def of the GF or CC.

The North stand is mixed again.

I'm not going to debate who i think or will be playing , Baloo will decided which 17 will be good enough to win the game, its then upto those 17 to win it - and with our recent record at the DW i am 100% confident of adding to that record come Friday evening .

That's the style, same old usual arrogant drivel, get your excuses in early

Or more likely, "if Huddersfield play better than Wigan, Huddersfield will win, Wigan will also be trying their hardest to win too, but as we now realise Huddersfield are becoming a threat to the 'big teams' we need to make up excuses which will make out our team lost on purpose to defend losing to them"

No one is bitter about losing to Wigan in the play-offs, that's Rugby League - the best team on the day wins and that's what happened, just like that's what will happen on Friday regardless of the spin any Wigan fans wish to place on it !.

i agree but now we have bailey so it means you have to leave a strike 2nd rower out like chan...who seems to be injured so prob not a problem for this game. Taai off the bench.

need to beat wigan in the forwards to have a chance, which can be done, we lost it in the forwards in the play offs.

still think we will be very rusty...afterall its all about the play offs now

think we would struggle with whittenberg and gardner
