Pretty much all there squad fit

As always Gaskill will be the one to watch. Real classy player on his day. One of many stick insects turning out for Shudds these days.

That is a strong team, if that's what we field then no excuse for a poor performance. Shaping up to be a dry day so hoping for a good game and a trin win.

Looks like a very competitive squad and one that if things click into place should have enough to see off Huddersfield, who I’m sure will be seeing this as a targeted game also, should be a cracker with us coming away with a win

Shudds have been awful - but they have pretty much their first choice squad available, so could be tougher than we expect, given our recent form.

I don't care about the quality of the game - we just need a win - by any means possible...

No real excuses now, that team is more than good enough to see off Huddersfield with something to spare.

That is not too bad a Giant's squad as well.

Could be every bit as close at the previous 2 meetings this season.

Delighted to see Toupu back in the squad and although it would be wrong to expect too much in his first game back, after such a long absence, his presence should give the whole side a lift and assuming MCB will be playing outside him, there is some definite strike there.
Caton Brown is quicker than anything that Shudds have to offer.
Ball control, ball control and ball control and completing sets is the thing that will win the game.
We've enough up front to match them, enough pace in the three quarters and enough guile in the halves (plus Rocky).
Rack up the completed sets and the score should take care of itself.

Exactly

Anyone who thinks this should be a walk in the park is nuts.
Even when we're playing well with a full turn out, the potential for failure is very real.
Shudds are rocks and diamonds and we've been.."improving", so its right up in the air.
Its a big game psychologically, not do or die but it feels like a possible tipping point for both clubs.

They were exceptional at magic weekend and were pretty good at Cas and probably deserved the win to be fair. Got hammered at saints (most have) then will have been disappointed last week but they aren't a bad side at all.

So with the exception of Ashurst and Arona that’s a full strength team!

I know Tom Johnstone’s not there but MCB is hardly a makeweight in the try scoring stakes
