Sean Long and Kieron Cunningham not playing either.

Grix is in the 19 man squad... Just like he has been for the last few weeks... Doesn't mean he is playing... Simpson is also in the squad so could be either of them.. Hope Simpson gets his chance on tv though.. But if Grix does come back it wouldn't be a major issue Imo. Good experience from the back. Got many haters but I rate him highly as a player. Just don't think Simpson deserves to be dropped.

grix is playing !

how do you know that? it's 2 days before the game i doubt the team has been announced yet?

it does appear that Nathan Mason is going to be playing a part as well in place of Mullally.

He must be Paul Anderson….

Hes not been wrong yet.

Looks like Mason may get a chance, long overdue, he seems to have been around for ages now, hope he goes well...another youngster getting a game, some say we dont give youngsters a chance

You've forgotten to add that Paul Vautin,Jamie Lyon and Scully are having late fitness tests



Looking forward to a very close game and i would certainly try to wind Bruffy up big time because when he's ranting and raving he's no use to you what so ever,but if we give him the freedom of Langtree Park he will cause havoc

Which stand are the singers in? Wheres best place to park please

Away end at Langtree Park is the east stand.
There is plenty of parking as it's pretty much located in the town centre.
A lot park for £5 on chalon way car park & walk over Prescott Bridge to the stadium. Alternatively you could park on the retail parks or Tesco itself who claim fines may apply.
Should be a good game

i usually park in chalon way car park and walk over the bridge.

you can't miss the singers, they will be the big group at the back

£5? it's always been £1 or £2 when i've parked there.

it's ok giving the youngsters a chance they play well then when the old hands are fit they are dumped leeming and conner not done much wrong but robbo and co get picked even after a run of bad games

its called team management.

Maybe Leeming had some knocks and Connor had been poor his last two outings

Grix has been ready to play for the last three matches so if he does play this week Simpson has hardly been dumped. Robinson has not had a run of bad games. He was excellent against Warrington and Widnes.
Robinson.wood,Ellis and Grix have all been dropped this season. Squad rotation is vital to keep the players fresh and hungry.

yes the squad has been kept fresh this season and players are fighting for their places

look at wood for example last weekend and ellis the week before that, hungry to impress!

i think anderson has learnt something this season, giving the youngsters a chance and they have not let him down so he is trying it more... mason next on the production line

The team i think will line up like this

Grix
Mcgillvary
Cudjoe
Murphy
Broughton

Robinson
Ellis
Brough

Hughes
Lawrence
Wardle
Crabtree
Huby

Bench-

Mason
Kopczak
Taai
Wood


Fairbank and simpson to miss out

the only one i would contend is Grix for Simpson, Jared has deserved to keep his place, and should do, but then the coaches might see something we don't, it might be the same for Leeming and others, the coaches will know if a player is ready for a game, they could be fatigued, physically or mentally by being exposed to first team, who knows?

as much as i have liked Grix as a player over the years, for me, he is a good backup player and offers vast experience, but as a full back i don't think he offers anything that Simpson, Murphy or Connor do in that position.

It would feel great for the Giants to take two points away from Langtree Park www.nothingbutleague.com/super-l ... ld-giants/

Considering there are 12 away fixtures, included Magic and we have two to play its an absolute impossibility. We've only played 10 away from home this season.

Plus a fortnight ago was the Challenge Cup weekend, Brett didnt play against Widnes that weekend - it was three weeks ago.

yeah, we have won 5/10 away games, if you incude the magic weekend then our record away from home is

P11 W5 D1 L5

Surely it's including magic weekend

P10 W6 D1 L3

Haha

Oh dear, I didn't know we could find so many ways to shoot ourselves in the foot, 10 minutes gone and the game could and should have been well in our control, then nip and took but some shocking defence and Leroy really needs to get back to doing what we all know he is capable of, some of his reads and attempts at tackling were awful. after getting back to 34-34 and Saints kicking the re start out on the full, IMO a poor call to kick for the 2, lets get deep in their half, see if we can get over again from 3 or 4 tackles, if not set up a one pointer. Finally a delightful chip over the defence from Danny but a rush of blood to kick on again when the regather was the option deep in enemy territory and another chance for a drop goal. Jeez good job Baloo has no hair cos if he had it would have all been pulled out tonight
