dunt make any difference come the first game the Warriors and the Giants will be a lot stronger, like i said the Giants had 9 players missing you can only play whats in front of you.

Yes you can only play whats in front of you BOYD2 but for what was in front of Huddersfield they played it quite poorly that score should have read 50 odd next to Huddersfields name.

Looking at the Huddersfield side tonight I can't see who the 9 are theres a starting 12 only one from a starting line-up highlighted in that Huddersfield side and a match day squad is 17 not 21.

Hudds had control for a good portion of that game, other than the first twenty when I thought Wigan were the better team (no co-incidence it was when Leuluai, Hock and Lockers were playing before they went off on 20 minutes). The young lads did well on a number of occasions keeping Hudds out, our touchline defence was pretty good at times, but then again I'm not sure they were running at full tilt either.



End of the day, no injuries and a good hit up for the fringe first teamers (Gelling, Dudson, Tuson, Mellor...etc).

Well lets just wait and see its all ifs and buts, we have won at your place for the last few years so there is no reason why that will change.

You got royally flogged last year







It was a typical friendly really. No matter how strong the Hudds side was it just didn't seem to have the same passion as a league game would. It will be totally different in a few weeks.



Our U20's looked ok, but I'd rather have had the choice to watch them - ie Leigh next week - then have it forced on me after buying my ticket.

Who are the 9 Hudds players missing?

And which four of the ones highlighted in MattyB's post would be dropped to accommodate them?

To the gentle man that asked about the 9,Brown ,lawrence, patrick ,odonell, fallongo, faumiu, tonks ,,warde murphy at least 7 of these players will be playing when the proper game is on

It's a bit like when people list how many youngsters we've let go and neglect to include the fact that none have gone on to better things and that none would get in our team now.

NSW them are the 9,and Rogues i dont know Browny picks the team but theres some quallity guys that dint play tonight.
