well he's had his one for the season then -expect normal service to be resumed...

how many hours have you spent with us over the years?

yes forgot about the widnes 'try' !



wardle out for 4/5 weeks injured, would think murphy can slot straight in, stronger in defence anyway if not in attack than wardle, though not played at centre for a while

bad news about wardle,but we do have options.

murphy as a straight swap

ferres or lawrence to move to centre and fairbank/aspinall to replace them

or

even bring jake connor in? he's playing centre for the 19's i think and has shown he is more than capable of playing at this level.



personally i would bring murphy in,i think he was unlucky to lose his place anyway.

Giants by 13

Sounds like Lunty will be back providing he gets through training today and Saturday with no ill effects- hope he's raring to go!

He couldn't wait when i spoke to him last week, him and Larne joking how the team had missed them both...maybe they were right, time will tell !

Have we lost 9 games on the trot now to warrington?





remember last season we basically waved the white flag to get set for the leeds rhinos clash the week after in the cup..



strange how we have another big cup game next week again, hope its not a similar theme here.

And we usually beat Wigan at home.



Trust me, I've only missed the Hull game so far this season, we are seriously clueless.



Saints gave us a lesson.

Leeds game we would have won if Briers and Hodgson directed attack. Tonnes of possession but clueless in the final 20 metres.

Hull game, Hull stink at the moment and we won by 2 points and only just held that.

London were beating us at HT and only for our fitness did we run rings around them in the 2nd half.

Salford, key players missing and looked disjointed plus Tim Smith having one of the worst games I've seen him play helped us win.

Wigan game we only scored because of a Wigan error, if we'd played for 6 hours straight it would have finished 4-(something).



If you can get to 18 points, you'll win this game because we can't put it together in attack at the moment.

jake connor not in the under 19's squad for tonights game... could be involved this sunday? or in the 19 unless hes injured.

You've won more games than we have this season. You've beaten us something like 9 in a row. Yep, we're clear favourites.

I wouldn't worry, we are absolutely gash at the moment, you'll batter us and I can't see us scoring in double figures.

warrington 13/8 to win on sunday

give over after beating us 9 times on the trot ill have some of that

I'll take that in the Double with Catalans at Evens with an 18pt start on the handicap.

The Huddersfield Giants will be wearing their alternative kit as part of the Heritage Celebration day

No Murphy - has he done something to upset Ando? I thought he was unlucky to lose his place to begin with and now looks as though Jake Connor is ahead of him as an alternative centre to Wardle (although I think Bruno will fill in).

Connor deserves his chance Lawrence is more valuable to us in the forwards. Broughton has done well and offers pace so can see why he's in above murph.

Ferres in at centre.



Taai second row which is where he should be playing.



connor to miss out.



all seems quite harsh on murphy.

Taai won't be doing an 80 min stint at second row like ferres though!

I think I'd like to see,

Grix has been our most consistent performer all season





BUt it is all irrelevant as what we need is the playters who are poicked to play to more than 85% of their potential which was something that has only really happened v s leeds and Wigan

Ant has obviously forgotten grix isn't this years scapegoat.



And yes he has!

Result doesn't matter, not the play offs yet.
