20 Mar: SL: Huddersfield Giants v Catalans Dragons KO 3pm

[League Express]

Discuss Huddersfield Giants v Catalans Dragons here.

[Kris]

Oh! Heck here we go again, at least the Giants season isn't dull - up and down like a spider on elastic!

 

Giants just by 2 - low scoring match 12 - 10

[barnyia]

Depends if ganson takes notice of the video of bad refereeing decision that went against the catalans v warrington, made by fraysinous that is being shown to the Rfl!

All kicking off again in perpignan, I didn't realize that child had a bad game,

They like a moan, the coach seems to be finding lots of excuses , every year the same excuses either the refs, the travel, the players not sticking to the game plan , injuries etc

So catalans by 40 as the penalty count will be 25 to 4 for the catalans!

[Chronicler of Chiswick]

Hudd by 12.

[longboard]

A tough one to call. Hudds are light in the forwards without Huby and Smith so they may struggle to contain the Catalans' pack. The Cats are favourites for me.

Worst thing is to realise that the majority of the French forums is okay with that policy. I quoted some posts from there, regarding the overseas players form and all I got in response was : "the English know nothing, Stewart and Carney are the best players ever, it's the ref's fault, our game plan is on point". 

 

We need to throw the excuses away, we're playing . We have a 6ft4 winger that hasn't seen an attacking kick down his wing in 5 games. Bring back Bosc please!

 

[GIANTSTRIDES]

the Giants understandingly looked a better side against HKR, but I agree with Longboard the Dragons pack look too good for us at the moment, hope I'm wrong, we do generally tend to play better against the tougher sides. I hope for a win, would settle for a draw.

[Ant]

A confidence boosting win, two fit hardbacks, a good pack if having to go with two young props and a better backline by far than Catalan says I'll be dissapointed with a loss

Discipline is key

[terrywebbisgod]

Two sets of fans who blame the ref when they lose. I wonder who'll be crying most?

Your comment is offside!

Nope, posted in the correct thread.

Escaré at fullback!

No, just kidding, he's still playing in the reserve. 

ffs...

[barnyia]

Why is horo not in the squad? Why bosc , Aiton and pellisier?

[Hvy wg]

Horo is "injured". Missed 7 tackles last week anyway. 

Aiton probably won't be able to play so will drop out. Pelissier to start, Bosc on the bench.

[meast]

easy win for fartown against a bunch of mercenaries , a few french guys and jodie broughton

If your not playing him loan him to us. We could do with a full back at the moment.

We are fine for hookers though so you can hang on to Gausch.

[barnyia]

I heard Huddersfield wanted to take him on loan,

[longboard]

That would have been interesting.

[Gates1]

Understandably really. They probably have all Luke Robinson kit going to waste. Assume you are taking about Gausch?

[barnyia]

No escare,

What's your fascination with Guasch? It wasn't funny the first time and is now so tedious you're making yourself sound ridiculous

[Guest]

I wouldn't touch this match with a barge-pole betting wise. Nightmare game to call. Catalans on paper should win but this is Catalan we are talking about and it would just be like Huddersfield with all their injuries and poor form to put the dragons to the sword. I'll go for the dragons in a high scoring game by 10.

Be as it may.

It could be worse though, my priority at half 12 on a Saturday night could be to come here and criticise people. How did you cap your night off? 2 am tweet to Dawn French to tell her the Vicar of Dibley is s$@t?

[Hvy wg]

Guasch is kind of like our runnin gag. We had so many bad coaching choices at Catalans and Guasch Jr was the "pinnacle" of that.

So everytime we think there's something wrong with players positions and coaching, we call that a Guasch Jr.
