Been a bit of a happy hunting ground for us in the last few years here and the way we are playing i am very confident, Cas always come across as a big strong side who won't go away when we play them so our usual game may not reap rewards as easily as it has been but i still think we will be too strong for them.

Jerry and Leroy seem to like playing here too so i wouldn't be at all surprised to see them carrying on their destruction of all comers.

Fartown by 12 but losing 2 competition points for only having 200 fans there.

Giants will win and it will be the ref's fault no doubt

Id like to think we'll give them a head start again and then come through with flying colours.

Hudds by 12.  A total of 87 Huddersfield fans there, multiple people count and verify this number.

It would be interesting to hear Mr Wells' thoughts should Huddersfield pull off an unlikely win..

I don't know what you lot have done to upset him but it really was noticeable how much he begrudged giving Huddersfield any credit in what I thought was a very good performance last week.

This the guy who coudn't bring himself to agree with Brian Carney when he asked if there was a top 4 now this season and he dismissed that as a top 3 plus 1 despite us being clear in 4th

This is the guy who said Hull KR had nothing to fear in the Semi-final 

The guy who said Wigan wouldn't be troubled in the Cup final and the guy who absolutely refuses to give us any credit when we win and desperately looks for reasons not to and find anything to lay the blame on the opposition instead.

We could have won the cup final 50-0, be 8 points clear, not conced a try in 5 games and he will still refuse to credit us!.

No-one seems to know what we've done to him though one rumour i heard was a Giants fan reported him to Cas and Sky for criticising a vide ref on air for giving a try for us, apparently that lost him his job at Cas but i've absolutely no idea about that.

Either way his comments have almost become something we looked forward to now.

I did wonder whether he was sulking because that particular love-in hasn't turned out too well.

How is that not obstruction? Running around the player allowed now?

[Ant]

When is that grab at the dummy half arm a penalty and when is it not? Or is it just utterly random?

 

[Ragingbull]

Jack Smith living up to his usual standards.  As blatant an obstruction as u will see

[johnh1]

Random 

[Gerrumonside ref]

Nice try from Jake Trueman there

Rude awakening for the Giants so far?
