Giants to get there act together in this one by 10 pts

[Thunder Road]

Home advantage wins this.

 

Huddersfield by 10

[Chronicler of Chiswick]

Bradford by 18.

[AgbriggAmbler]

The allure of new LED boards will bring back Huddersfield's missing fans only for them to walk out in disgust when they find out their team still has no backbone.

[Simon Hall]

Hopefully Bradford win this one then lose all their remaining games this season.

Bradford to be the less rubbish of the two 

[daz39]

Shame it isn't gonna be chucking it down as the Bucket rattlers are in the uncovered North stand lower tier - oh hang on they're used to not having a roof, forget that then.

Bradford by 16 or 32 if they really try.

You don't know if you'll have a roof next year...

[Wakey Til I Die]

If Huddersfield are going to win another game this year then its probably the travel sick Bulls they'll beat. But the won't. Bulls by 4.

[Trinity1873]

I think Huddersfield will pull something out of the bag and with home advantage and get a win. Huddersfield by 10

[daz39]

Genuine question but if people think Huddersfield have an advantage by being at home what is it?

We don't have a big, loud fanbase to put pressure on ref's.

We don't have a pitch suited to our needs

We don't have a vociferous, close to the action crowd.

We don't have much enthusiasm to go there

What is our advantage?

Im nervous of this. Giants getting pelters from all angles at the moment, quite rightly after their performances, and this is an absolute must win if they're going to avoid the wooden spoon. So im expecting a reaction.

On this season's performances, Bradford can only win on a kid's pitch.

You're used to playing in a funereal atmosphere.

Poor direction on the coverage tonight - ten minutes in and at least three moments missed cos they are busy faffing around showing something else and it's only ten minutes in. 

[whatmichaelsays]

New LED boards look

[Amber Avenger]

I don't think either side will be too happy at half time - Huddersfield fans will be raging I'm sure and have every right to be, been on the end of some tough calls, the video ref no try particularly 

Absolutely thick-headed play at times from the Bulls, that needless penalty in the corner and now the sin bin. We play some nice stuff at times but the bad stuff is really starting to grate especially when it's just schoolboy stuff. 

A Swift hatrick surely a formality at this point - that edge has been awful for us all year

I know we don't have much to be happy about at Hull right now, but my God this Huddersfield team is diabolical. Bradford have been sloppy and ill disciplined themselves but they will win this at a canter.

It's a good job Matty English made it as a professional RL player. If he had a job where he needed to use his brain in any sort of capacity he would be in dire straights.

Why… is Courtney… Winfield-Hill… speaking… Like… This… It’s… Really difficult to… listen to

 

[The Squirrel]

Being Leeds's worst signing of the last decade is notable, but the way Lolohea has played for the last year, I think he might be Huddersfield's worst signing of the last decade too - which is elite level poor performance.

Key do-or-die set of the match and he just gently ships the ball to the nearest player every play .... including the last tackle :D.

[Simon Hall]

Almost felt sorry for Huddersfield watching that.

Imagine losing to Bradford at your own home ground, I didn't think they could play at a pitch bigger than theirs

Man, I really feel for the Huddersfield fans. Some poor play and should have absolutely heaped the pressure on with the sin bin. Id have been confident every other side in SL would have put the game away from us with some of the errors we gave up in that first half. 

Pleased we ground that out, that's a positive and definitely showed a lot of character. Feel like we're flagging generally as a team last few weeks so maybe not many more wins to come but who knows. At the end of the day the aim for me before a ball was kicked was to not finish bottom and have a bit of fight about us, and we're looking good on both of those.
