[John Drake]

Discuss Huddersfield Giants v Catalans Dragons here.

[Manfred Mann]

Will Huddersfield have it’s Turkish international half back Aiden Sezer available to play? His presence or absence will be crucial for Huddersfield’s chances.

[Chronicler of Chiswick]

Catalans by 4, assuming that they don't do what they did last week and doze off when looking comfortably ahead.

[Hvy wg]

Langi takes his spot back, Laguerre won't play.

Despite a MOTM performance.

I'm fuming.

[barnyia]

Hes the 18th man. Maybe good coaching from mc namara to bring him back down to earth or bad coaching and kill his confidence. Who know's?! 

[Gerrumonside ref]

Nice execution by Catalans

[Northern Eel]

Catalans have dominated the opening minutes and have made the Giants pay for their errors. 6-0.

[Northern Eel]

The bloke in the bottom left hand corner of the Fan Cam must be watching something else. Not an ounce of celebration! 

[Just Browny]

Baz n Tez waxing lyrical about Whitley 'pushing up and supporting'. Wide shot shows he was literally stood still for about 20 seconds and just had to fall onto the ball.

It does make me laugh as every team seems to have a set of fans each game that never celebrate!

Pretty disappointing - was looking forward to see how he’d cope with Cudjoe and McGilvary.

Depends how you are watching it. I know that my TV  (in Gran Canaria) is about 20 seconds behind the actual event.

Sitting there, grimly refusing to experience even the tiniest iota of happiness. Proper Rugby League fans, then.

Think that's right. I watch on NowTV and there is usually a comment on here about major incidents before they have happened on my screen.

They pull the celebration 'highlights' together and play them when they are in. Are we to assume he won't celebrate all game? Hope he hasn't missed his one and only chance! His lunch looked pretty good though... 

There's parts of Huddersfield still on a 56k modem. Let's see what they have got to offer! 

[Northern Eel]

Catalans errors coming into their game and the Giants are looking a bit more composed. 6-6.

[GeordieSaint]

Some tackle by Tomkins that...

... neither side are going to trouble Saints, Wigan or Hull this season.

[DavidM]

Honestly , what we stop the game for nowadays 

[barnyia]

What happened to the blood bin? 

[Just Browny]

Lots of sang, limited or so far from the Catalans.

[damp squib]

Maloney is stealing a living at Catalan

[Padge]

Catalan are imploding early this week.

 

[dkw]

Will we ever see a Catalans team that's disciplined. It's almost institutionalised now.

[Just Browny]

Thaler has remembered cannonballs aren't allowed this week. Maloney should have said he was falling.

[Northern Eel]

Catalans probably need to consider a fully claret kit. Problem solved.
