Quote:"They have a superb record but every year is different and sometimes the records are there to be broken," said Hodgson, the Giants' inspirational full-back and captain. "Hopefully we can be the ones to break it.
"At our best, we're very confident that we can go out there and play very well. We've played well this last six weeks."
A quote from Brett Hodgson. I don't see any gobbing off he merely states that he hopes this year will be different and that we will be the one to end Saints reign. He certainly doesn't state that we will beat them merely that we are confidant we can play well and if we do that who knows.
Quote:"Everyone is excited," added Brown, who has guided the Giants to third place in the table in his first season. "We've won six in a row and I think the team is improving.
"We know it will be hard but we're confident we can get the job done. They have won the last three so they're entitled to be favourites but our form speaks for itself.
"We're definitely going in there with the belief that we can win."
Nathan Brown statement. Again no gobbing off he merely points out we are playing well and that the players are confident they can win. What do you expect him to say "Nah mate, we haven't got a hope. Saints are a much better side and will clearly beat us"?
The byline of the third story, which is just a rehash of the first, even says "Hodgson Optimistic of Challenge Cup Success". Not certain, not even confident, just optimistic.
