Huby, Hudson, Isa, McGoldrick are the four of the top of my head

Only Isa and Huby as Mcgoldrick and Hudson are fit but haven't made the 17.

Delighted to see four props in the squad- something I feel is crucial in these games, in particular against such a huge pack as the Giants have. Hope Martin Aspinwall is back too- despite Jordan Thompson having two storming games in the second row IMO, I think we may fair better with the size and guile of Aspinwall who should be hungry against his former club. I'd go with:

Mathers
Owen
Dixon
Arundel
Youngquest
Chase
Orr
Jackson
Milner
Emmitt
Jones
Snitch
Ferres

Clark
Widders
Fozzard
Walker

I think Kirk will find himself covering in the centres with Isa out, while the pack looks physically big enough to complete with a Huddersfield side that is capable of dominating teams when they play well. I think we will have to play very well to have a chance of winning, but if we stop the forwards getting a roll on and close down the half back trio of Robinson, Brough and Brown, we will put ourselves in with a shout and hopefully edge it.

be good to give our old boys a good welcome,might take a while though

Re: Giants : Sun Jun 05, 2011 1:41 pm  

I hope Youngquest & Dixon are on the flanks today,think McGillivary would have a field day against Owen otherwise.

We stand a chance if we stand up to them in forwards in unfamiliar surroundings (for them).

However, i think the Giants will win by 12

How come Castleford have had to change kit. I've just checked the kit directive and Hudds are ment to be in home shirt and Cas alternative. Do the Giants not realise that they are the home team!
