Huddersfield on Friday : Wed May 24, 2017 12:55 pm  

Another big game for us and Huddersfield improving so, it's going to be another tricky game.

Tinirau Arona
Joe Arundel
Matty Ashurst
James Batchelor
Mason Caton-Brown
Anthony England
David Fifita
Liam Finn
Ashley Gibson
Scott Grix
Keegan Hirst
Craig Huby
Ben Jones-Bishop
Danny Kirmond
Reece Lyne
Jacob Miller
Bill Tupou
Sam Williams
Kyle Wood

Assuming both are fit, we have to keep Finn and Miller in the halves.
Huddersfield now only have one fixture over the weekend (with a postponement due to clash with Town's big game) and so they dont need to think about resting/rotating their squad, which just isnt right.

Cant see too many changes from the Magic squad, unless Chester has a master plan for Mondays game at Wigan.

I hope that we have our ball boys ready if its a close game to either speed things up or, suddenly be unable to find a spar ball if we are in front - the tactics at Shudds were a disgrace and we certainly owe them one.

I certainly think it's going to be a bigger challenge than our recent games. I wonder if Williams is going to play off the bench with Miller & Finn starting to bring some periods of speed into the game

Probably a good call.
We've packed our 19 with three quarters' : Arundel, MCB, Gibson, BJB, Tupou and Lyne.
So, if Williams gets a bench spot, 2 of those are likely to miss out.
I'd like to see Batch play again and if anything we look a bit light on options in the pack.

Really looking forward to this one.
Its forecast to be a decent day on Friday, let's hope it's 2 more points for the Mighty Trin !

Agree re forwards and playing an interchange half back , with another game on monday am sure whoever doesn't get a game friday will be needed then - Does any one know how allgood recovery is progressing ?

I suppose we'll probably be looking to kill Hudds with speed and keep the forwards fresh for the arm-wrestle against Wigan

Don't forget feigning injury in the in goal area as well.

Ballcocks to Monday !!!! lets get the Friday game over with first. 2 points is the priority and worry about Monday and Wigan after that.

Re: Huddersfield on Friday : Wed May 24, 2017 2:34 pm  

If we win this and Warrington beat Leeds then we head into the Wigan game in 4th place!!!

Re: Huddersfield on Friday : Wed May 24, 2017 2:56 pm  

Based on current form, we have the beating of this Shudds team; they look soft and all over the place, in both and attack and defence. But - they have some quality players, and you would expect them to click at some point - and we do have a habit of gifting them easy points.

I'm sure that Shudds fans will call us poor losers but, the stuff going on over there, in the last 10/15 mins was shocking. It took time wasting and gamesmanship to a whole new level and IMO, the person/people controlling the ball boys was culpable as well.
Before it got close, there seemed to be a ball boy with spare ball every 20 metres along the side of the pitch but, all of the balls disappeared from sight, when we were pushing to get back on terms.
Balls kicked off the pitch, they took the mickey big time, although it also helped get them 2 points.

With 10/15 mins to go on Friday, I hope that we are looking to put icing and a cherry on the proverbial cake but, if it's tight, I hope that we use every trick in the book and them some.
