I'd go with

Shaul
Fonua
Tuimavave
Griffin
Talanoa
Kelly
Sneyd
Taylor
Houghton
Bowden
Mini
Manu
Washbrook

Connor
Green
Masi
Thompson

I think most of the team picks itself. The only one up for debate for me is whether its Washy or Thompson that starts at 13.

Does anyone know why we are playing on a Thursday?
I thought it could be football related, but Huddersfield Town are playing tonight at Man City .

They have Newcastle at home on Saturday and agreed with the Giants that they could have an extra day to help the pitch.

.... they're also at home on Tuesday.

Thanks for that. Cheers

FWIW I'm expecting you lot to soundly beat Huddersfield. If you lose you're in ttouble as Hudds is a side nearly everyone predicts to be in the bottom 4 (again).

I think if we manage to win, it will be close. I also don't think if we lose we'll be in any sort of "trouble", like I don't think Warrington are in trouble either. I'd still anticipate some of our fans going totally over the top if we do lose though.

No mamo, (fb) jerry, (wing) cudjoe, (centre) Murphy,(wing) taai, (prop) symonds, (2nd row) Lawrence, (loose) ferguson, (second row) Simpson, (replacement FB/wing)

So we have 9 out - 8 would generally be first choice 17 - no backs and no back row forwards. If hull don't win tonight that's a big embarrassment!

After our performance last week it wouldn't be a big embarrassment. A medium one, I think.

We are skeptical about our ability to create tries. Tonight will confirm how good we are in that department. We are at full strength in the backs and the weather is dry. Against a weakened Huddersfield back line we should be able to score from open play. We will see.
