[John Drake]

Discuss Huddersfield Giants v Catalans Dragons here.

[meast]

Fartown to carry on our impressive unbeaten streak by smashing a lacklustre dragons?

Yes please

[davet]

One change to the Giants squad with O'Brien dropping out (unsurprisingly).

Hopefully we can continue where we left off last week against Salford, and take another step closer to safety.

Giants by 8, will do for me.

[Aidan Putt]

To be fair it depends upon which Cats team turns up, I think Huddersfield are more likely to win this one by 6-10.

[Chronicler of Chiswick]

I'll say Cats by 8, but with no real conviction.

[daz39]

Cats? it's Giants versus Dragons, there's no cats here

[meast]

I always thought Wakefield were the cats?

And can the game not depend on which Giants side turns up as well?

I think it will be a young Fartown side which turns up Martin. 

[Old Frightful]

Was thinking about listening to this on the radio but I doubt the commentators will be able to make themselves heard above the constant roar of the crowd.

Surely you mean the constant clanging of the Cowbell?

Been a regular at the Kcom library you won't be too familiar with noise will you?

Relax, just having a return swipe at Meast.

[Essai Machine]

On a serious note , crowds are an issue with both Huddersfield and Hull FC . Might mergers be the solution ? Huddersfield with Halifax to form the West Riding Colts , HullFC and KR to form the East Coast Titans ?

[Futtocks]

A Samkins hat-trick sees Les Cats lead at HT.

Huddersfield 12:22 Catalans

[Manx RL]

Cats lead HT. 

SHuddersfield 12:22 Catalans

 

[GeordieSaint]

12-32 Cats so far.

[Futtocks]

28:32 at the hooter, so Huddersfield came back a bit towards the end.

[Jean de Bordeaux]

Congrats Catalans !

[Manx RL]

28:32 FT.

SHuddersfield came back a bit towards the end. Just not enough.

Is that the problem Shuddersford still think they play at Fartown so by the time they get to the John Smith's their already 20+ points down

I am not sure if the word East would be on any agenda.

[Rupert Prince]

Between them both Catalans and Giants giving a classic example of how lack of consistency is de rigueur de nos jours. 

[Lowdesert]

Puts Hudds back into the dogfight at the bottom with Leeds and HKR. 

Away at HKR next followed by home to Leeds - both 4 pointers.  Should be some good crowds.

He had a point though, 0 Catalans fans made more noise than the old faithful the other night

What/Who is "Shuddersfield" that's a pretty poor effort really.
