Anyone feeling confident for this one ?.

I'm confident we are capable of getting a result, although it could be hard against Huddersfield, who we have historically struggled against in recent years, and are also in decent form.

Not overly but hopefully the Giant Players will have had a lot of pats on their backs this week and will believe they are better than what they are.

Not really - Huddersfield are in good form and we aren't. We've gained Fus and Sangare, but lost Handley on the other side and then Holroyd. Honestly can't remember the last time we had our best potential side out on the field together.

My thing is errors as we know - if we want to go into this game dropping the ball etc. again then we'll lose. If we play tight I expect us to win.

We need to get back to completing high and getting to a good attacking kick at the end of sets, which we were moderately good at earlier in the season I felt.

Could go either way. All depends which Leeds turns up…..

I’ve not seen a Huddersfield game this season, so don’t really know if we are favourites or not. What I can see is they have put a few teams to the sword , including Catalans. We haven’t smashed anyone and have scored a lot less points than Udders, so on that basis my money would go on them. My worry is that having a couple of weeks on the training ground will have been no use to us whatsoever, because we have a coach who may not have used that valuable time in the most productive way. I am curious rather than eagerly anticipating this game, just to see how we compete against a fellow Tier 2 Superleague team. It’s quite sad saying that at this stage of the season, but probably just realistic.

Leeds beating any team does not surprise me but generally it will result in a loss the following week. We are extremely inconsistent.

Every year we talk about turning Headingley into a fortress, but again we seem to lose far too many home games - three on the bounce now. We really need to be winning games like this one if we're to have a chance of top four.

The Giants pack play aggressive in attack and D and Cudjoe at 13 is in the form of his life if we don't match them at least it could be a tough night.
