Discuss Huddersfield Giants v Leeds Rhinos here.

Back to feeling I've had for two years . I cant back Leeds with confidence against anyone and I'm not backing them now .hope I'm wrong . 

[meast]

Both teams had differing performances and results in RD1.but i don't think that will have any bearing on the result.

Leeds are still seemingly in transition again but destroyed us twice last year, i would hope the Germ won't stand for that again and we don't bend over again for them.

Giants by 8.

Can't see anything other than a Giants win. They're no Hull but still too strong for Leeds at this stage of the season. The positives for Leeds....

- they can't get much worse

- more game time together will start to make things click 

- emphasises further that they need at least one more top forward

Giants by 8

Giants did well last week, Leeds not so well and i don't think that will count for diddly this week, but you have to base your guesses on something so i'm going to say Giants just,   

[MZH]

There wasn't really a single aspect of Leeds performance last week that impressed me. Huddersfield aren't world beaters but they have some handy players. Better pack, more exciting backs and probably the best player on the field in Sezer. 

Leeds will want a big response but I still say Hudds by 6.

[daz39]

Giants to win - as Leeds like Catalan will be underperforming or have bad attitude which will be the reason why!

[Rhinoferg]

Huddersfield by 30. Players need coaching properly. We need Darryl Powell

[Wollongong]

Giants will have a big year.... way too much in the pack for Leeds

[Chronicler of Chiswick]

Hudd by 8.

The forecast weather is pretty grim.

Champagne rugby is unlikely.

A Fartown win would be good.

[billybell]

Just because I am a Leeds supporter I will say Leeds by 2. In reality I have no idea what to expect, we could get a complete Tonkin or even scrape a win. Either way its going to be another long season for us.

Oof...I hope not!

A Hudds win by less than 15 please. 

Thanks.

I’ve got a feeling it will get postponed

[meast]

They're confident it will go ahead, the only issue is whether the river level is too high or if there's any threat to fans due to debris etc.

[meast]

Game is OFF due to safety concerns, as i said, the river and structures are to blame.

[DoubleD]

I wouldn’t fancy playing and even less so watching in these conditions so right call in my opinion. Trouble is, not sure there’s room in the calendar for a re-arrangement unless both get knocked out the cup early. 
Looks like Easter double header might be back

[meast]

I feel for those Giants (and Leeds) fans who are doing a walk from Headingley to the John Smith's in aid of the Rob Burrow MND appeal!

[Mr Plow]

Ah summer rugby, why are we starting in February again? This might be a let off for Leeds, depending when the game is rearranged

But Rhinos remain bottom of the league going into the big one v Hull KR next week !

Still have a game in hand and Ward and Hurrell will be back and playing at home next week in hopefully better conditions

I think he was being sarcastic, I think?

 

big one against Hull KR? Why is it a big one?
