Huddersfield at Magic : Fri May 16, 2014 11:34 am  

Right lets get this over with!

I think the score will sit somewhere between the 42-6 drubbing at last year's event at the 18-66 spanking from earlier this year.

Still, at least this time there's no endless talk of "karma" and "what goes around comes around" from the Fartown faithful.

Squad news to follow around 2pm.

Shudds are going DOWN.

Bulls by 50.

I think the team will be up for this.

I'm not expecting a win, but I wouldn't be hugely surprised if we managed a victory.

Should be a great couple days of rugby, just wish we was playing a team that didn't finish last year on top of the pile.

Injuries, sickness bugs and ineligible players should all conspire to make this a walk in the park for the Giants.
I honestly think we would be better not risking anyone who is 50/50 and put more of an effort into next week when we play a team we have already beaten once this season.

Sidlow only recognised prop in 19 man squad. Assuming walker Pitts and Mellor filling in other spots. Against probably biggest pack in league. Can't see past a hudds win I'm afraid.

In the infinite fairness of an even league competition, where bottom of the table Bulls play top of the table Huddersfield, even at full strength, we would struggle to compete. But with no props, half the team injured or ill, two loanees who have less than a month at the club, etc, etc it is going to be a Hudds whitewash.

19 man squad:

Danny Addy, Joe Arundel, Nathan Conroy, Matt Diskin, James Donaldson, Jamie Foster, Luke Gale, Lee Gaskell, Luke George, Adam Henry, Elliot Kear, Adam O'Brien, Tom Olbison, Alex Mellor, Jay Pitts, Adrian Purtell, Adam Sidlow, Chev Walker, Sam Wood.

No Nas, obviously Kafusi cannot play, so we oly have 1 prop - Sidlow.

Surely Cummins will move Pitts to prop? He's played him in back-row last two games.

Might be his last game for us as well, his loan deal must expire pretty soon.

Hmm. We're going for pace again I see. 7 players who are wing/centre/FB players in the 19man squad.

We may not have the biggest pack, but when you play centres at 2nd row, we should have the fastest pack...

Maybe the wide open spaces will suit our speedy pack!
