Apparently McGilvarry is out for about 6 weeks with a torn quad.

One of my favourite SL players

From a match perspective this is going to be very difficult. Watts and Taylor very likely to get bans, Ellis with a head test, question mark on Hadley and only 2nd competitive run out for the halves. Mixed record v Hudds, not confident.

ta'ai up before the rfl, 1-2 game ban so possibly gets a game, big miss for them if banned

cudjoe rumoured to be injured but will wait n see


get the ball out wide, avoid the middle, i think we edge it there

Exactly the way we should approach this game.

Also have Ferguson, Symonds, Lawerence and Taai out.

So no excuses

Looks like we aren't taking the EGP for Taylor as he is in the squad.

Huddersfield squad: Leroy Cudjoe, Lee Gaskell, Aaron Murphy, Danny Brough, Ryan Brierley, Sam Rapira,
Ryan Hinchcliffe, Shannon Wakeman, Kruise Leeming, Sebastine Ikahihifo, Oliver Roberts, Paul Clough, Daniel Smith,
Gene Ormsby, Tyler Dickinson, Sam Wood, Darnell McIntosh, Mikey Wood, Alex Mellor.

Hull FC squad: Jamie Shaul, Mahe Fonua, Carlos Tuimavave, Josh Griffin, Fetuli Talanoa, Albert Kelly, Marc Sneyd, Scott Taylor, Danny Houghton, Mark Minichiello, Jake Connor, Chris Green, Jordan Thompson, Danny Washbrook, Steve Michaels, Sika Manu, Josh Bowden, Jansin Turgut, Masimbaashe Matongo.

think he'll go for all forwards on the bench as with the loss of our front line props we will need all the go forward we can get, plus intelligent interchanges

We will have a weak pack and a very weak bench. Brough doesn't seem to be particularly on song this season, that one try assist apart last game - . I'm not expecting much for us from this game tbh. If you can't get the two points here you aren't going to have the success of last season.

Huddersfield will have no chance with our injuries, they are mostly key men that are out. It`s like Hull.F.C v Giants U19s.

cant beat getting the excuses in early

Don't talk silly, you will have about 6 out, 2 of them key players, we have 4 out.

Apologies if it's been covered elsewhere, but why is the game on a Thursday and not on sky?

Football! Hudds town asked the giants to move and we agreed

Wrong - Mamo, McGilvray, Symonds, Ta'ai, Lawrence certain to miss out. All 5 are 1st 17. Some say Ferguson could miss. Cudjoe should play.

So at least 5 key plyers missing.

Hopefully a good game.

Dale Ferguson, he of horrific mohawk that used to play for Hull KR?
