Hudds are playing well, even when they were poor v Hull the game still ended 4 tries each. Hull won due to Tickle's goalkicking.
Our pack has to match and beat theirs for us to have a chance. If they do get on top our halves will set things going.
If the Hudds pack wins so will their team.
this could be the defining point of our season and show us where we are likely to finish. Personally I think we will win by 6-10 points IF we do not play tim smith, we cannot afford to play this turnstile against these.

They are a very good (but underrated) team.
I honestly can't call it but expect it to be a really tough game for us. Huddersfield like to play the game with a lot of width and will look to "get at us" on the outside.
If Tim Smith plays there is no doubt that they will target his defence.
It should be great game to watch, I just hope the weather stays dry enough to allow both teams to play open rugby.
If Crabtree,Mason and Griffin play like they did on Sunday you lot have no chance - they will lay the platform for Robbo and Browny to show your lot what your mssing and destroy you - seriously if our forwards play well we'll do ya
28-14 to the Giants - and be prepared to see the biggest Giants following for years at Wigan ( and i dont mean 150)

I hope your team come with that attitude - though I doubt they will. Unlike you, if it all goes wrong, they'll have nowhere to hide.

Ask the quins how well they played last weekend.
Mason might get a lot of slating but this season his workrate is absolutely outstanding and in Crabtree and Griffin we have two enormous props that can wreck any defensive line.
Its gonna be a tough game, I think Wigan will pinch it with home advantage, it all depends on if Hudds can keep the penalty count down like they did against quins, if we give you as much ball as we have to Hull and Cas there is no way we can do it.
As for quality of individual players, some of you need to come up to date.

Indeed this game is very loseable... and if we do im not looking forward to the reaction of the fans.
il go for an extremely dull boring 10-8 ..

A purple patch inspired on his home ground by man of the match WIGAN CAPTAIN Sean O’Loughlin produced three tries in an eight-minute spell just before half-time, and the GB Lions added two more after the break to maintain Smith’s 100 per cent record as Great Britain coach.
