I hate to say it, but Huddersfield by plenty. I'm knackered after tonight and bar repeatedly bumping into a 16-20 year old Aussie chick I did nothing all night.

It's a ground we've struggled on in the past and they are another club who have done wonders with their squad development in recent seasons. Superb backs, some big forwards. I'll be more than happy with one win from the next two games.

We always struggle away at Hudds. However i've said it all season, on paper our strongest 17 is the best in SL. We can win anybody on our day. I'd love to finish a game this season with all our backs staying on the field for the full 80!.

I'd also be happy with one win from the next 2 games.

care to swap places?

should be a good un, depending on we go against quins today and if we dont get anymore injuries.
we have the same problem with the backs too , dont think we've had the same 3/4 line all season yet

OMG.

You've just beaten arguably the form team of the year ( who incidently beat Hudds at their place ) and yet you think youre going to get murdered.

Optimism alive and well

Not at all. She's

. She sits in between me and another big bloke she sits with (Her Uncle I think). He obviously played rugby as he follows the play and puts the shoulder into the poor girl as the players collide, sending her flying into me. Obviously I stand my ground.

It's a very tough game, probably the toughest of the three games (Warrington, Hudds and Wigan). But after last night, the lads should be very confident and Wellens apart, we're at full strength.

I would rotate a few players for the Hudds game
eg Bring Fozzard into front row, rest Hargreaves Puletua or Graham
Play Gary Wheeler at Scrum Half and have Kyle at Fullback
Rest Cunningham and bring in Scott Moore to start.
I would also be tempted to bring Dixon or Ahshurst into the reckoning to freshen up the backrow a bit.

Certainly people with niggly knocks need to be saved for the Wigan game.

One positive is that Soliola looked a beast playing in the back row, and to think he wasnt even fully fit.

We have to keep one eye on the Wigan game and not knacker outselves out for that one. Otherwise the pies will walk it at Knowsley road.
At the start of the season the Wigan v Leeds game would have been expected to be a real toughie. However with Leeds likely to be without Peacock, Sinfield, Eastwood, Buderus and Ablett in the pack, along with half their backs missing, then I cant honestly see them putting up anything more than token resistence.

The other thing to note is that we will have just a 5 day turnaround from the Hudds game to the Wigan game, the pies will have the full 7 days.

I think Kyle's best position in the future will be fullback.

Absolute boll0x! did you not see the difference in the attack when KE went to fb?

Agree.

Kyle is a scrum half.

End of discussion.

Our midfield organisation dissapears when Eastmond goes to full back, which gives the opposition a chance to respond with some momentum. It happened against Crusaders last week and the Wire this week.
Think Johnny Lomax will be earmarked for the future Full Back position.

It will be an advert for Rugby League. Giants are palying some exciting expansive stuff at the moment. A bit like Saints of 2 or 3 years ago. They do have a bit of a tendency to shoot themselves in the foot though and we need to take advantage of that. Can't wait for this one, although I'll have to start saving now as the price always seems to very high at their ground.

Prices for the Giants’ match are:

Adult £18
Concession £12
Junior Secondary school £5
Primary school children go free
Ticket prices increase on game day increase by £2 for adult and £3 juniors

compared to Saints :

Ground Adult £19 pre buy £17.50
Ground OAP £13 pre buy £11.50
Ground Young Adult (16-1icon_cool.gif £16 pre buy £14.50
Ground Student £13 pre buy £11.50
Ground Junior £13 pre buy £11.50

not much difference in prices

Should hopefully be a cracking game as its already being said we always seem to do ok against you lot at our place !

I'm sure that Gilly will get a good reception from our fans, a brilliant player and took his fair share of knocks for our cause.

Still can't believe we released him as he would still walk into our pack and add some pace to the team, but thankfully we look okay in the second row with Soliola in there.

I agree but however with Lomax injured I dont see another viable option on Sunday.

Pryce and Gidley are the only 2 options. Pryce hasn't played there anytime recently and we really need Gidley in the Centres to work with Gardner.

In this case I'd go with one of these

Eastmond
Gardner Gidley Dean Meli
Wheeler Pryce
Graham Moore Puletua
Soliola Flannery
Wilkin

Roby Clough Fa'asavalu Fozzard/Hargreaves

=#FF0000[uOR[/u

Eastmond
Gardner Gidley Wheeler Meli
Roby Pryce
Graham Cunningham Puletua
Soliola Flannery
Wilkin

Moore Clough Fa'asavalu Fozzard/Hargreaves

I reckon Potter will put Eastmond full back, Roby in at half back with Moore on the bench.

This will be a very good fast entertaining game of RL. Pity it's not on SKY.

i would put pryce full back think eastmond too small under the high balls

SKY seem to have lost then plot when picking games.

Wigan v Leeds agree
Salford v Hull, its just going to be a whitewash the way Salford are going

We've only been on once so far, as for last Friday not being on that was just a joke

Cant we give Foster a go at fullback, hasn't he been playing there for the reserves?
Id rather keep the halves as they are instead of chopping and changing the team around just for one position.

I wouldn't like to see the halves moved either, they're starting to build a cracking partnership.

Maybe move Eastmond to FB while defending, for the kick returns but then slot him back at SH for tackes 3 and onwards. The FB role in attack is a simple one, I'm sure Foster could take it up with ease.

Everytime I've seen him playing he's been playing in the Centres, of course it'd be Jonny Lomax if not injured but at the moment the only other players who can play FB are Phil Baines, Steven Nield, Thomas Makinson, Tommy Johnson none of which have any first team experience.

Im sure Foster could fill in but he does lack in experience.

First Team options are Wheeler, Eastmond, Gidley or Pryce

For some reason I thought he played at fullback this season. Too big an ask to make his deboooo in a foreign posistion then.

In the Pre-Season games against SL opposition he was shown as light in defence on a few occasions.

I agree with the point of not breaking up the HB Partnership but Potters only option is Eastmond from what I can see due to Lomax being injured
