o'meley cleared to play saturday

fc will be missing tickle, heremaia and yeaman(who many have called to be dropped due to a poor start to the season) from the squad that played castleford

Holdsworth is key to FC as is Brough for the giants, ironic the 1 defeat you had was when Brough didnt play!

as people have said could be a cracker lets hope we dont get a ref who wants the limelight

Bentham in the middle.

That's ok. Thaler and Bentham the best of a bad bunch IMO.

We'll look something like:

McDonnell
Lineham
Arundel
Crooks
Briscoe
Horne
Holdsworth
Lynch
Houghton
O'Meley
Galea
Westerman
Green

Watts
Johnson/Pitts
Whiting
Bowden

Grix

McGillvary Cudjoe Wardle Murphy

Brough Robinson

Cording
Ferguson Ferres
Fielden Faiumu Kopczak

Lunt
Crabtree
Patrick
Ta'ai

I would imagine.

All the Giants need to do is stay in the game until the 45-50 minute mark, Giants pack should win the arm wrestle and the old faithful will buckle under the pressure defensively. Holes through the middle and ruck area, leaving spaces in the three quarters and I have n't got to the masterclass that is Brough.

Hopefully better conditions than last season but that plan worked then and probably could again this time though would be nice to kick on from the start and never let Hull have a sniff.

However lets not get OTT about Broughy as he didnt do much v London, was poor at times against Wigan, and in some ways can be too clever for his own good taking an extra sidestep and such like. Hopefully the Leeds game will be the norm from now on but lets not kid ourselves he has the perfect game week in week out but with a point to prove over England he should be fired up but hopefully channels that in the right direction.

Hi everyone, new fan as of this year here! Really enjoyed the season so far (as anyone would seeing all these wins! :p ) Managed to get to every game so far this year and cannot wait for this game will def join in with any "broughy for england" chants and the like too haha

Welcome aboard and welcome to the RL family !!

Welcome - every little helps!
Really looking forward to this one now. If we can back up last Fridays efforts with a good performance against hull then it will bode well for us going forward. As PA said we need to get up to play all teams not just the "top" teams. Am hoping for a stunning game from cudjoe- a couple of interceptions and a full lengther alongside his typical strong defence as according to some (obviously top coaching staff) on the hull board he's gash

I agree, people get OTT very quickly, thought yesterday he got the side around the park very well without any frills. The most impressive part of his game was is defence and had Arundel in his pocket (Key when you play the Aussies). Like you said, nicely fired up and seem to channel it in the right direction. Still wouldn't make my England 17 (Huge Lomax/Widdop fan - but only my opinion), but is knocking on the door in the squad. Was surprised in the first three sets you chose to run rather than kick.

was an arm wrestle of a game lastnight, we just found that extra gear in the end and ground the result out.

thought faiumu, fielden and crabtree made a big difference on the interchange

great run from wardle for one of the tries

hull a solid unit and good defence, caused problems with their offloads
