Discuss the game here.

Huddersfield to bring less than a London cab of fans.

Lahndan to win 30-10

[Ant]

Huddersfield to take more fans than London score points

[gingerjon]

Huddersfield to take an A380 worth of fans and London to give them at least one try by knocking on in their own in-goal.

[JimBronco]

Broncos to finally get their season rolling.

[Steve May]

Lunt to come in for Lee makes the Giants stronger IMO.

I'd be surprised if some of the fringe players don't get a run out as well. Could be an SL debut for Tonks for example.

On paper an easy stroll for the Giants, but you never know.

[GeordieSaint]

I reckon the Broncos will surprise a few people and beat the Giants...

That many? Are there free tickets on offer?

[Samuel]

It is all up to the London Broncos defence. If they can improve that aspect of their game, then they can win. Huddersfield are good but not world beaters. London has some good attacking players, and as Gower plays more rugby league he will get better.

However if London don't improve their defence they will be slaughtered. (Luke Dorn is one of the defensive lapse culprits, though not the only one. If Dorn has any more shockers in defence he should be replaced at full back by Kieran Dixon, who is a rising star).

London by 6 - Huddersfield aren't that good.

[NEIL FOX IS GOD]

Huddersfield by 40 plus

[THE RED ROOSTER]

Troubled times at the Stoop, as a lynch mob forms for Rob Powell perhaps its time to point out that the players have some responsibility for their own performance, Indeed perhaps David Hughes can take a leaf out of the Catalans owners book and let rip about unaccepatable performances. For in truth the first half of Hull away was as bad as it gets. You see fans don't mind IMO if you give your best shot and lose against a better side but an abject performance deserves to be slated regadless of who it's against.
Huddersfield of course follow in a familiar path, Look good at the start then Nathan Brown appears to be leaving immenently, it has an effect on their side and things go downhill. Yes, I know this is meant to be his last year before he leaves.. for St Helens allegedly. They would be better of with their chairman having a frank discussion with their coach and if there's any substance to the rumour making the change now.
On the face of it the Broncos have no chance but then again things change in sport rapidly and if a week's a long time in politics it can be an eternity in Rugby League. Combined with some hard yakka this week in training I feel it in my bones pre-departure from these shores that the Rob Powell margin meter may be swinging back to coach of the year rather than chump of the year come 3.40pm on Sunday..

Gower hinted at this on Sunday after the match when interviewed. I hope the players step up to the plate and put in an effort like the last 20mins at Hull.

[Spicer]

If they can perform with the intensity of the Saints fixture Broncos will edge it.
But if we see the one half wonder or last quarter only performance of the last two
rounds it will be a comfortable away win.

London 26 Hudds 20

He's leaving at the end of the season and Paul Anderson has already been appointed to take over.

The frank discussion was had last year. Everyone knows where Nathan Brown stands with regards to Huddersfield.
