I find it pretty astonishing that we've only missed 8 tackles this season. Those sort of stats are fairly useless IMO, without trying to belittle your post or anything. Still not as bad as the opta index, where Andy Hay would be in our top 5 players every year.

Just reading Cockney Giants signature. from what I've seen, all this "Huddersfield are dirty and grapple and scratch and bite" rubbish that seems to be coming out every week looks a load of old balls to me. Grapple tackles are picked out very easily by referees, and the wrestling techniques they may be using are employed by pretty much every side I've ever played for, as well as all the SL and NL clubs.
What does everyone else think?

It's part and parcel of the game Matt, even we are told basic wrestling in training from time to time.

The table curently shows the Giants as the best team in Yorkshire at the moment. If you beat us by more than 12 then you can be classed as the best again

Never let facts get in the way of a good story...

Leeds by between 12 and 20 points on Saturday.

If we lose we'll be 6 points behind St Helens (if they win) and 4 behind Huddersfield. I think Saturday could be a turning point.

I must say - and congratulate you all - how pleasant it is to read complimentary posts about us. Some of the teams we've played think we're the devil incarnate!

It should be a close game, but, as Durham Giant pointed out earlier, in big games, in front of big crowds, with a point to prove, and with Sky present, we never turn up.

I suggest that the form book will be nothing to go by. Your guys will really be up for this - smarting like a don't know what playing second fiddle to Huddersfield!

Anyway, here's to a good game - and hoping that we can at least do ourselves justice on the telly.
