Dont get carried away all- What we mustn't forget is that we beat Wigan by broughys boot and the fact that Wigan couldn't throw a pass to hand to save their lives. Last season tinkerman rotating the squad worked well- no reason why it shouldn't be the case again this year- think bobby should play to reward his defensive effort but rotate walker with mason / tonks against widnes and faiumu in at loose in place of tommy- a big LF with a step will work better against the big widnes immobile pack

i would bring in tonks for bruno and move gilmour back to the second row. still not sure bruno is suited for the second row but ill trust nathan browns decision so far

Huddersfield Giants v Widnes Vikings 3pm

Whatever squad he puts out we should trust in NB. He worked his subs really well on Sunday aswell so he knows what he doing. I would like for him to have a chance to get his first game under his belt early on. Bring on the Vikings!!

In many ways this game is harder, last week at Wigan we had nothing to lose this week at home against Widnes we have everything to lose mentally we have to be switched on

i'd drop larne patrick, he only scored 2 tries on sunday, get rid of him blah blah blah!!

seriously unlesss anyone is carrying an injury keep the same 17 make the players that are available fight for their place back.

Ganson!

Said to Meast yesterday that i just knew we'd get Mr 'lookatme' Ganson on sunday!! i just knew it somehow !!

Agree. We will be expected to win this one now, especially after the Wigan victory. This is a difficult fixture. We really must play to the standard we set at the DW to succeed. Come on Fartown!

there will be some changes me thinks.

I'd keep Larne on the bench as an impact player. He must be one of the fastest forwards in the game with as much power as anyone too. He's one player I always want to see on the team sheet every week. PADDY POWER!!

We need to reward the lads for their performance out there last Sunday! Massive effort from all the lads and would be gutted to see any of them dropped. Although would be a good test of tonks, a cracking player in lower level rugby untested at our level. Would be good to see how he performs with a professional preseason behind him!

bookies giving widnes a 22 point start...think it could be closer than that will be a tough match

Agree. I think the bookies gave us a 14 point start v Wigan last Sunday.



We can't just think we've won this already...we need the same attitude & performance we gave at the DW to win this one.

Does your ground have undersoil heating as i wonder if the game will be on?I would love to go but i expect us to lose.For me it is a learning curve for my team and club.I rather lose at this level than the Championship.

Of course it has Undersoil heating!! Considering last weekends football postponements across the league Town still played their game as the heating had been on for the week prior!! And as it's a big game tuesday night down there you'd think it'd be on in time for this and that match!

He's alot more mellow this season, reason...............







































No David Hodgson

You mean the bloke who scored a(nother) try this week? Useless git.

Na it was a walk in, don't count

pitch is being covered with thousands of strange lime green coloured rags that were found around the leeds road area

hudds town supporters have a piece in todays examiner saying they have nothing against the giants fans...

5 players are in contention to return for sunday

kev brown
keith mason
david faiumu
dale ferguson
tony tonks

i think 3 of those are first choice picks ..brown,mason and faiumu.
tonks and ferguson will have to wait there turn

brown could come in for lee
mason to prop as we were short at wigan (even though it paid off!)
faiumu?

time will tell if they are in the squad...and no point rushing them back if not 100% fit

The Huddersfield Giants 19 man squad is as follows;

1. Scott Grix
2. Michael Lawrence
3. Leroy Cudjoe
4. Lee Gilmour
5. Jermaine McGillvary
6. Kevin Brown
7. Danny Brough
8. Eorl Crabtree
9. Luke Robinson
14. Shaun Lunt
15. Larne Patrick
16. Dale Ferguson
17. Joe Wardle
18. Jason Chan
19. Tommy Lee
20. Luke George
23. Jacob Fairbank
24. Adam Walker
29. Greg Eden

Referee: Steve Ganson
The Huddersfield Giants will be wearing their principal kit

Only Kevin brown and Dale Ferguson in from last week leaving Aaron Murphy and Josh Johnson out!

Think we are slightly snookered.

Ah Van, Allen, Cahill, Craven, Cross, Davies, Dean, Finnigan, Flynn, Haggerty, Hanbury, Isa, Kavanagh, Moore, Mullally, Owens, Pickersgill, White, Winterstein.

No
Watts
Briscoe
Marsh
Clarke.

We've got Flynn back but lost Marsh so we are no stronger than we were last week.

We'll bring a fight to you lot i'm sure about it. Cant wait!

Lee & Walker to miss out?
