Next up - Huddersfield at home. Lots of positives to take from our most recent game Vs Hull and the players will be keen to right the wrongs (especially the 15-20 min blip after HT).

I think most Bronco fans will agree that this is our biggest game of the season so far. Huddersfield will be confident after defeating Hull KR last time out, albeit KR having a huge injury list and fielded a much weakened team.

Bookies have Huddersfield as slight favs.

Agree, a crucial game. We do jsut need (just!) to cut out the going to sleep for 15 minute patches, we have shown we can defend and attack, so do both for 80mins and we can win!

Any injury news?

cant call this game, expect it to be a close one.... we only named 18 players last week so are still struggling for players which has been the main reason for our poor start again! roberts got injured v kr so wont play. expect obrien to come back though this week which will help leeming on the hooking duties.. others wont be rushed back on that pitch.

more importantly we have our spine playing together regularly now... mcintosh, gaskell/frawley and leeming.

making my first trip down to this stadium!

Having watched Hudds beat Wigan I thought they looked strong. The KR result (KR injuries aside) didn't surprise me

We need to concentrate for 80 mins(first 20 in second half is our weak spot) contain any big forwards they have and we can beat them.

We are fit enough, have the strike, decent defence patterns.... its 80 mins we need to do it for and we can take the points.

With last weekend's results this fixture has become much more of a must-win game for us.
Tighten up the slackness, don't give the ball or any soft penalties away.
Play the full 80 minutes.

I do not expect James Cunningham to be back this week. He said on Sunday he will be out for at least two weeks.
Helliwell is fit again, having turned out for Sheffield last weekend. He may figure in the nineteen if Wardy wants to freshen things up.

Where is Ioane??

we need Ioane and Hellewell back. Didn't young Rob Butler have a fantastic game punching well above his weight and experience

Ioane seems to be out of favour, with Rob Butler being picked ahead of him. He was sat out at the side of the pitch on Sunday with James Cunningham and it did not look to me that he was injured.
It will be interesting to see if he goes to Sheffield on DR. Sid played there last week, so one wonders how far down the pecking order Mark is.
