[davet]

Giants squad; Mamo, McGillvary, Turner, Murphy, Gaskell, Brough, Ikahihifo, Leeming, Hinchcliffe, Ferguson, Rankin, Roberts, Ta’ai, Clough, Smith, Walne, O’Brien, McIntosh, Roche.

Still not the strongest we can put out, but is slowing getting there.

Going to be a cool night, touching on freezing, but the Giants faithful to be kept warm by getting up and appaulding their teams try after try after try!!

Giants by 8pts for me.

[Jack Russell]

It pains me to say it but saints are looking really good. Saints easy. 10-44.

[Kris]

Giants 22-18

[Exiled Wiganer]

I really like the way the Giants go about things, and suspect their greater cohesion will be enough to bring them home. I am not convinced by Saints’ half backs and like the look of the Giants’ spine. I could see them taking some major scalps this year, starting on Friday.
