I think we can win this one, we should of beaten them last time. Personally i dont think Huddersfield are that good they have just come out on top in more of their 50/50 games.
Who if anyone would u change from last weeks squad id assume Evalds will come in for Rocky. Did Blair n Olpherts do enough to keep their shirts this week.
Having not seen much of the Giants this years I was surprised at their apparent success but having watched large parts of yesterdays game, I now see a lot of similarities with Saints; fast defensive line speed (off-side), slowing down the defensive play-the-ball with quick offensive play-the-balls, very flat passes (some forward).
As with Saints, some see it as a good skill set whilst others view it as cheating.
Either way, I can't see us backing up yesterdays efforts, especially if we've picked up a few more injuries. I'll be hoping for the win though...
Liam Watts (Castleford) – Grade A Dangerous Contact – 1 Match Penalty Notice
No Watts - 1 match ban.
On reflection, I think the side selected by LR was deliberate to be more focused on size and with the short turnaround, I think we will see a freshened side for Hudds on Fri.
Think Smith will come in for Watts now (would have been Matagi), Mamo in for Blair, who will drop to the bench maybe, Eden in for Olpherts, Evalds, if fit, coming in for Hampshire (injury).

what about Feki, he should be available?
HuddsTigers With the exception of Watts that is pretty much our A Team so no excuses.

Its marvellous what you can achieve (get away with) when your chairman id also the interim chairman of Superleague.
They are very Leeds like with the "momentum rule" passes, I agree,
the offside rule changes at least ten times per game though in my opinion
Feki played long minutes for reserves at centre recently. Wouldnt be surprised if he's on bench to cover the backs. Or maybe even in over Mamo or Blair.
Swagger
He’s got to play sometime surely.
I'd like to think Feki gets a game or two in the very near future but nothing would surprise me with this fella.
Dont read too much into the fact Feki played centre, its only because hes better than what the academy has to offer at centre, according to the match report Eden also played centre n Daniel Smith covered most of the game as a half back n goal kicker.
HuddsTigers Hoping O'Brien is back for Friday too.
Squad for Friday

Although Blair n Olpherts probly did enough to keep their shirts.
I think Blair will make the bench incase Mamo has a poor one or any injuries in the backs so we can shift around.
I think blair will keep his place amd mamo may make the bench as hes more cover for the back line. Is evalds ready to return? Or is he just in squad for numbers?
