I agree.. nothing suggests Wakey will crumble, nor Salford for that matter.
Every game is a target for the Giants. We have no expectations and nothing to lose.
That could make us very hard opposition in the super 8's.

All the super 8's are gonna be tough, everyone is getting a few players back and looking like they can put a decent game together, wigin look the most limited but they're not gonna be pushovers, no....its game on.
The CC is a handy distraction, and not just for Shudds

Nothing from Wakey but Salford have struggled recently with one eye on the cup semi probably. If they were to reach Wembley I think they'll suffer in the league and comfortably miss out on the top 4.

Wakey have been pretty impressive this season and i don't see any sign of them crumbling at all, The thing about S L this season though is that you cant pick the winner of any game with any certainty.
Regards the Giants, last season aside, we have been in the running and collapsed in the crunch games , maybe being outsiders will change our approach and performances , we may not be able to win anything but we can still influence things.

Just making the 8 - and with a game to spare is a massive achievement for us, remember most of our own fans had us down for another bottom/MPG finish only a matter of weeks ago, anything above 8 is now a bonus to me, the fact we still have a chance of the top 4 is amazing and would be huge if we made it, but i'm more than happy with 8th and enjoying the next 7/8 games without pressure.

Looking forward to Friday to see if qualifying has released some pressure off the players and they play without fear and enjoy themselves.

Re: v HULL : Mon Jul 17, 2017 12:31 pm  

same here, happy with 8th all things considered and finishing 14th last season, improvement in anyones book!

to make the top 4 giants will have to prob win 7 of the last 8 games and hope results elsewhere go their way too. what are the odds on that!

can get 80/1 on giants winning the grand final

Nah, usual 250 i reckon.

Hull's never been one of the more popular away trips.
