Who's going? Ian Smith will be the ref. Squad to be announced later today so I hear.

6 out of our 7 are going. See you there.

Are we all gathering behind the sticks? Safety in numbers

Can't go, wifey still not well so creek & paddle etc etc etc......

We once stood in the side stand. It was more intimidating than the time we found ourselves in Leeds' South Stand!

So, 'Yes'.

Huddersfield Giants squad

Cudjoe, Lolesi, Whaturia, D. Hodgson, Brown, Robinson, Lunt, Gilmour, Raleigh, D. Griffin, Lawrence, Faiumu, Grix, Aspinwall, Patrick, Walker, Fairbank, Horne, Brough.

Well, down to one established SL prop! [No disservice to Andy nor Larne.] Compared to what we're used to, that looks quite light.

Cudjoe

Lolesi, Lawrence, Whaturia, Hodgson

Brown, Brough

Lunt, Robinson, Griffin, Raleigh, Patrick

Gilmour, Aspinwall, Faiumu

Plus 2 from Grix, Walker, Fairbank, Horne

Considering that Anderson is quoted on Sky as saying we picked up no injuries, that is a very strange squad, hope we dont end up embarrassed.

Brett and Eorl picked up slight injuries but nothing serious. I'm also told the club are expecting around 2k fans to make the journey over to Salford.

The wheel braces will be out in force then!

Nah, they weighed 'em all in!

2K?? Wow! Good job I'm setting off over early!!

Also our OS doesn't say this but those with under 5's still need a ticket even though it's free. I found this out when taking Cobi in his buggy a few seasons back and it still applied last season. Also theres no cash points nearby again I found this out last season having to use my card at the ticket office.

Going over on the train, despite it being a bank holiday there's still trains to Piccadilly every 15 minutes from Hudds then the Trams to Weaste are every 12 minutes.
It's £10.20 return on the train and £2.20 return on the tram.

I always enjoy a trip to Salford, I've never seen us beat them either at home or away....so it's about time! Will be a more even game than people might expect I reckon.

Many thanks for that Nic. Great information!

We should win,in fact would be a major shock if we lost.Eorl's impact from the bench will not be there for the first time this season,how much will that be missed.Bodgy out but Cudjoe is a very cool operator who obviously has plenty of confidence in his own ability.

Amazing performance from Danny Brough on Friday,first full game and totally controlled the proceedings like a veteran half back who had wracked up 200 appearances for his club.Kicking game so efficient we didn't need people running lines.All on the back of forward dominance where Mason's return made a lot of difference.

Catalans were poor though,Salford should be tougher we might have to mix it up a bit more.

If you don't mind me being honest, I don't think as many fast runs by Eorl are being played this season, maybe because there are a few markers constantly watching him.
Last year, he got used to running in from deep, but this season it's back to shallow passes.

He's a marked man is Big Eorl this season,they all realise the damage he can cause them.Offloads not been nearly as frequent as last year,but the fact he is attracting three and four defenders every drive obviously means there's more space for the others.
