19 for Huddersfield : Fri Jan 18, 2013 9:51 pm  

Vikings 19-man squad;
Allen, Cahill, Clarke, Craven, Cross, Davies, Dean, Flynn, Gerrard, Gilmore, Hanbury, Isa, Joseph, Leuluai, Mellor, O'Carroll, Owens, White, Winterstein.


Missing - Ah van, Briscoe, Brown, Marsh, Phelps, Pickersgill, Kavanagh, Gore.


I think Huddersfield will beat us in this one due to injuries to key players but the hit out weather permitting will do us good against a strong side.

Half Time: Giants 6 - 12 Vikings

Full Tiime: Giants 36 - 12 Vikings

Seems like a collapse in the 2nd half for us. Thankfully only a friendly.

Re: 19 for Huddersfield : Sun Jan 20, 2013 5:44 pm  

one or two good touches from your lot

joseph had a good first half stint

cross being his usual dirty self

seem to want to slow the play of the ball at every tackle, spoilt the game abit.

well done to the fans that came over , was freezing!

Even dirtier if Hock signs for Widnes. Did not go the game to comment, but we seemed to struggle when our youngsters came on in the Second half.

we played well in the first half with danny craven pulling the strings, after half time the changes disrupted the flow and we never really recovered from the 2 long range tries in quick succession. hudds targetted the youngsters and forced them into errors. a near full strength huddersfield proved to be too strong for us in the end, with so many of our first team players missing.

Four top class, huge, forwards missing ( O'Donnell, Tai and Chan not available and Lawrence out after 5 minutes) would be in our best 17.

Widnes had 7 to 8 missing and you have a stronger depth of squad in quality.Gaz Hock should strengthen our squad and our youngsters are new to full time rugby league.Hopefully the dual registration will improve them.A improvement from this time last year in our team.
