12 Jul: SL: Huddersfield Giants v Wigan Warriors KO 7:45pm

[Old Frightful 5,762]

Discuss the SL game between Huddersfield Giants and Wigan Warriors here.

[davet 266]

Another big test and match for us at home to Wigan.

Hopefully we can carry on from last weeks performance and Hull and earn "any" sort of win, as we need it to keep the top 8 dream alive.

Seb & Ta'ai missing, but Ferguson & others back so still lacking the consistancy of having a settled team out there!!

Giants by 6.

[Jim Prendle 1,770]

Huddersfield, by quite a lot.

[Ant 798]

Hewer as ref and Childs as a TJ.

Sweepstakes on when Brough will be sent off for dissent after being punched in the tackle then...

[Eleftherios 240]

Wigan by 6

[GIANTSTRIDES 291]

My head says i'm desperate for a win, My heart says the Wigan pack will just roll over us,  I have nothing but hope in this one, although i thought the same last week.

[Southerner80 888]

Wigan in form. Too much power down the middle. Will win by 10pts 

[longboard 1,450]

One would have thought that Hudds will struggle against the behemoth Wigan forwards and they will need a canny game plan to tire out the pack in the cherry and white hoops.

Are you being ironic?

Which behemoth forwards woud these be then? Wigan have probably the smallest pack in the whole of SL.

Do you drink Carlsberg?

Just wait until you see the size of the Huddersfield pack for tonight's game.

[Davc1h 158]

From a Cas perspective, Hudds win would be good.

Realistically, Wigan to win by a few.

[Benjamaphone 19]

Anyone know what's up with Bateman? He's not been named in the 17 

[davet 266]

2 massive wrong calls by Hewer give Wigan 6-0 lead after 7mins

[davet 266]

Brough gets away with a knock on.

Doesn't quite equal it out though

[davet 266]

Tomkins high on Jerry, just a penalty!!

[davet 266]

Take of the season!! by Darnell.

Brought unable to convert 4-6.

[davet 266]

Brough penalty from what seems like the 50th penalty of the match 6-6.

[my missus 409]

sounds like wigan having a shambles of a game and hudds score after penalty penalty forward pass, hopeless.

[davet 266]

Great offload in the tackle to Mellor.

Brough hits the post and bounces away.  10-6.

[davet 266]

More I'll discipline by Wigan, Brough goal. 12-6.

[davet 266]

Giants blow a chance just before the hooter.

HT 12-6.  Thoroughly deserved lead for giants.

Expected and expect more from Wigan.

So far 

Jerry clean steps Tomkins and gets his head taken off. 15 minutes for a concussion test, just a penalty

Clubb loses the ball. Wigan pick up offside. Clubb sulks  and throws punches. Stops. Throws more punches. Scrum.

Murphy clean through. Head smashed off. No penalty.

Both sides making mistakes, Giants missing too many chances for my liking

[Jim Prendle 1,770]

Sounds like Huddersfield Angels are playing well tonight.
