I think it will be a draw. They are desperate for a home win and we are on form.

That is an understatement.

We are on a 7 game winning streak away from home and a 5 game losing streak at home

18 10 to quins it will be a dam good game

The Giants are quite like us. Constantly underated, fans take a lot of stick and a lot of people think they should not be in SL, given the help they had in the past. Like us they are going places and to me look to be in place to replace Bradford as the West Yorkshire threat to Leeds. I like their marketing and the games against them this season could determine how well we do. A bit of a bogey side at Galpharm. I would settle for 2 out of three against them this season. It will be interesting to see how well Joe Walsh goes on Sunday.

I think this will be a cracking game. 2 teams that are keen to throw the ball around. Quins have had the easier games to date and without a stupid error against Wigan, would be 4 from 4. As it is, with wins over Castleford, Salford and Wire the jury is still out on how good we actually are.

Huddersfield have had the (supposed) harder games so far, but with Bradford and the French in apparent freefall, it is hard to evaluate how much you have moved on from last year. Your defence is solid and it would seem that attack is where you might have problems. We have the 3rd best record in defence so far....but that includes games against Salford and Wire....so something has to give this weekend.
Tough one to call, but I'll go with Quins by 8.

Huddersfield seem to always get the win at the Goat Farm

28 - 24 to Shudders

Close game but think Hudds might sneak this one

Hudds 24-18 Quins

Then again, I told my Wire mates that they were guaranteed the two last Sat
