Giants v Crusaders

Will the Crusaders feel the backlash of last Saturday? Are we in a dip of just missing important players? Will we win? Will our forwards show some balls this weekend? All Crusaders talk in here please.

Well they wont be taking them too lightly this time, or so you would think, We need a brutal performance this week, sadly we dont have the aggressive type of players for that, so we shall just have to hope for class.

I do think we will win, but I think it will be a workout. I would like to see a good completion rate, good kick and chase and a huge improvement in defence above all.

I really just want a the 2 points and a solid, professional performance. Here's hoping!

The players really need to win this and do so fairly comfortably to give them the confidence to feel they can compete with an almost full strength warrington next week. Crusaders have been improving and have been really unlucky not to take the two points in their last two matches and will feel that they can win this one - Hopefully LOD will be back to put a bit of grunt up front - anyone got news on faiumu?

According to the Examiner (http://www.examiner.co.uk/huddersfield-giants/huddersfield-giants-news/2011/06/29/crusaders-injury-crisis-ahead-of-huddersfield-giants-clash-86081-28959485/) Crusaders have their injury problems too, including some of their best players. On the plus side that improves our chances of winning, on the negative if we do lose than we can't use that as an excuse.

Examiner also says that Faiumu is sidelined for at least a week with a rib injury. Lunt is out too.

I think that there will be a backlash this week. Fartown to win big, possibly 30 points or more. (I can at least hope )

We need to hit hard on both attack and defence early doors,show we mean business.Then see how the injury hit Crusaders react to that.
