yes pal still not working as yet, won't be back in engineering as well so gawd knows what I'll do

nice draw shudds

Could have been a lot worse

I think Shudds will fancy their chances and look at it as a favourable draw. Poor tie from MC's point of view. Would've been better to get knocked out by Cas with a good shared gate.

He'll be happy when we're at Wembley

How refreshing was the draw on Radio 2. More professional and informative than draws over tge past few years.

Always nice to get a bye in the first round!

should have a new coach in place by then and a few bodies back too, pleased with the draw this side.

play each other week after at magic weekend too!

think the game will be played on a thursday night due to football on the sunday and they have a 48hr no game on the pitch beforehand policy with the FA

then again just noticed if its on the thurday you will have a short turnaround playing sunday and we play the friday before... cant see you agreeing to that... interesting !! could there be a switch of stadiums...

It would make sense to switch it for for the increased attendance at Bellevue

or even we could walk into the next round, come on shudds aren't setting the place on fire are they

One thing that always winds me up.....in a not really very wound up way, is the singing and criticism of Giants attendances.

It's not like I'm bothered for their sake but singing songs to the Huddersfield fans at a game saying they are poorly attended is a bit nonsensical to me. They at poorly supported compared to the investment and the stadium size, but the guys that are there you are singing at, are actually the good ones who attend and support their team. They actually deserve a round of applause.
You'd be better off going in to the pubs in Huddersfield and singing to them as they are the ones causing the issue by not coming to the game.

Anyway, just thought I'd get that off my chest

For the rugby, it's a potential banana skin. Right now I think we'd beat them but with new coach and a bit of time, they could be targeting us as their comeback game so we need to be on it if we want a cup run.
