I know what you mean, but I think I can help.

Huddersfield are a top quality team, with a big powerful pack and real pace out wide. We know it's going to be tough, especially backing up after a derby, but we'll give it a red hot crack.

Take a trip to Hudds board. A lot of them are conceeding defeat 2 days in advance!!!

how did hull manage nil them and score 19 points also

As I recall there are a good few of the "glass is half empty" brigade over there. They're a good team who played poorly in their last game.

I've just been on their forum and they are complaining about a lack of intensity and line speed from their pack v Salford as well as a high error count. As their set completion was below 50%, they had to defend a lot in wet conditions on a heavy pitch and as a team they collectively made over 400 tackles. Brough and others started moaning instead of playing and their game dissolved to rat s**t.
Taking nothing for granted, we might just have better energy levels come Monday. They are a good team, but now is a good time to be playing them.

God knows!

only one
the rest of us are cautiously optimistic, as we tend to be before every game
i'm looking forward to it, we were pretty poor last night and we need to have a massive improvement or your halves will tear us to pieces.
i hope Lunt thinks he's still playing for us and puts in the kind of performance he had in the last 18 months for us!

I just hope that whichever set of fans end up on the losing side can refrain from whining about the opposition.
It would be so refreshing.

because in all honestly, we were absolutely abysmal, we went into the game with only 1 pre season game against a weak Halifax side and got caught cold.
we've improved a bit since then

change of club is what was needed for Lunty, he'd gone stale with us and had been seeking a move away for 2 years, because he didn't get it, he sulked.
still a fine player, not one of our fans would deny that, but it's no coincidence that we won 4 on the spin after he left.

2 Changes for monday,Welham and McCarthy out injured,Boudebza and James Green replace them.
Allgood
Sio
Salter
Campese
Green
Lunt
Boudebza
Cockayne
Burke
Donaldson
Dixon
Blair
Kelly
Goulding
Horne
Larroyer
Walker
Ollett
Mantellato

Why would Boudebza replace Welham? Surely it would be Salter???

Lunt has not had a lot of rugby this season and we dont want him playing another 80 mins,salter was already in the derby 19.

Oh right, I didn't see the 19 for the derby.
