Not sure what sort of game this will be both teams have a bigger game the following week with both having a chance of getting to the CC semi final.

Hull look to have the easier task playing at an out of sorts Catalan.

Will Hull rest players or hold back to have a better chance at catalans?

Giants have Fielden, Kopczak and Chan out.

How are you for injuries ? any news on Holsworth?

Holdsworth won't play. It will be a big win for your lot. We seem to have put all our eggs in one basket with the cup

I'd be amazed if we rest anyone, Holdsworth and Horne will be missing regardless. Our season is quickly turning to rat poop and the Catalan game is much more important than any other in the short term.

IMO, we won't be able to match Hudd's pack up front and we'll have no answer for Danny Brough. In short, you will be able to focus on your big CC game and still beat us comfortably.

Oddly enough I expect us to perform well. We usually do against decent opposition, not saying we'll win but I can see a significant improvement in our performance. I think Horne will play, if they are taking the CC seriously he needs a run out before that game.

Cant see anything but a Giants win.Looks like CC or bust for us plus the fact Huddersfield have had 72 hours more recovery time

I would certainly expect a good side like Hudds to get our lot up for the game in terms of effort. Sadly, I just think that our front row imparticular is too small and too passive and effort will not be enough.

As much as i can see us typically deciding to put in a good showing against a top team still think we'll come up short on this occasion, hoping to see something that makes me feel more confident about the cup game the following week,

I expect the Huddersfield pack to steamroller our pack...

However..... we appear to raise our game against teams higher than us in the league.

depends what side of the bed ,the team gets out of. on Sunday morning.

What,, they are all sleeping in the same bed!!!!

no wonder we are losing our matches,

we'll be a nice warm up game for your cup game I guess

If we can shut Brough down with fast line speed we can beat you at home - not saying we will as it's easier said than done. You have a good side and deserve your league position but we should have beaten Wigan at home, have beaten Leeds at home, and beaten Wire away so Huddersfield at home shouldn't be anything that a functioning Hull side should worry about. If we're dysfunctional then easy win for you.

Far too difficult to call. I can see one of three scenarios.

If I had to guess, I'd say the second is most likely, but I wouldn't be surprised with any of those outcomes.

Agree with the sentiment, if not the term used.

Expecting us to raise our game, we like to/can be bothered to against better sides. Still don't know if it will be enough. Play to our potential, we can win.

It's never a given against Hull who are better than their results show but with a week away from the cup game I expect the Giants effort and intensity to lift for this one...I hope...

Anderson alluded to this in his post game comments on Friday actually
