so then... saturday : Fri Apr 17, 2009 10:45 am  

are you guys looking forward to the trip to your 'BIG' West Yorkshire rivals then ?

how many do you think you will bring to see the mighty Giants ?

been serious for a minute what will it mean to you if you lose to us ? especially since you usually wipe the floor with us at our place !

History is against us in this fixture and although we are the form team the fact its Leeds means it will be really tough for us!

Should be a fair few. When my dad rung for our tickets yesterday around 4.30 the ticket office were saying it was a sell-out and we were getting the last few. Not that i believe a word of it.

I for one am really looking forward to the game, one of my favourite trips of the season usually to Huddersfield, but this one has added spice to it, with us under performing, and Huddersfield on form at the moment.
I think itll be alot closer this season than its really ever been between leeds and huddersfield, and should be a cracking game for the cameras, hopefully Silverwood and Alibert wont do us over
Probably one of the first we will go to Huddersfield as underdogs.
I think we should fill the away stand, with alot of rhinos fans scattered around too. Sounds to me that its going to be a massive crowd with only 250 tickets left on all bottom tiers.

I think it's a measure of both Hudds' upturn in fortunes and our mini-slump that I'm definitely viewing the Giants as favourites for this, and I don't remember ever thinking that pre-match before.

With that in mind, it'd be disappointing to lose as we need to get back to winning ways, but I'm not sure the result either way changes my perception of the situation at Headingley at the moment. I think whatever happens, we're a top 2 quality side that is in a bit of poor form at the moment. I've revised my expectations upwards a bit for Hudds based on their start, I think regardless of tomorrow's result, they'll be in that 3rd to 5th group that will form as the season progresses.

I fully expect to lose, even in top form it would be a tough game and we're nowhere near that ATM. If we win it will be a pleasant surprise.

Giants 12-20 Rhinos is my prediction.

We can't possibly play so badly 3 games in a row, can we?

We'll beat you. Then everyone will start calling us ace and you not so ace again.

Leeds have never lost 4 league games in a row in the super league era!

No we cannot. Thats is why it think were going to wipe the floor this week.

I think Leeds have got very complacent and arrogant in the last few matches. They lost against Saints which they gave there all in. Then they looked at the fixture list saw Bradford and thought 'easy win, well bounce back with ease automatically' and same against Salford. But after losing to Salford its a huge eye opener. They will now know they cannot turn up and expect to win just because they are a class side, like i said complacent and arrogant.

On Saturday i really feel that were going to put in an awesome performance. There under real pressure and it will almost be like the grand final to them on Saturday. They are pretty embarrased and will go out fired p beyond belief!
