Looking forward to this one as i always do at your place......think we're already seeing a difference this year to the last 2 in that the players are more together under Baloo, no one is spared the axe if they're not performing, no favourites either .

We've already dug out a couple of wins that would have resulted in crushing defeats last year due to the players determination.

You lot are our last big test and having already despatched Saints, Wigan and Leeds with ease i think if we do your lot on Friday then we can seriously start thinking that just maybe we have a team that can do something.

Whilst you've beaten that lot it's never the same come the playoffs. As we found out in 2011. Your concern needs to be should you get injuries. Looking forward to it though.

I know this thats why i have refrained from shouting off about our current position upto now, the point i was making was that by beating the big 4 clubs should hopefully send a message out we are a team to be challenging - as long as we are still challenging come the end of August/beginning of September i will be delighted.....still early doors yet though.

Quarter of the season gone now, looking good to be top and gives you a boost, always room for good competitive sides to keep the rounds interesting and start to put to bed the "it doesn't matter until the play-offs as there is nothing to play for" chant that some people enjoy rolling out.

Ironic really cos the excuse for losing to us now seems to be 'but we werent trying cos it only matters in the play-offs' !



Hope you lot are more graceful in defeat on Friday



















set myself up now haven't i

will be a tough game, i am worried that if brough brings his kicking game with him then that could be the difference to the two sides,the opening 20 minutes should provide all the pointers as to how the game will go.i expect us to be kicking early quite often to turn round that big pack of theirs,might not be a classic but scoring plenty of tries last week,regardless of the opposition should have our backs confidence up again.

I can see what you mean but why are you so confident, I am terrified that club has done nothing but good since brown left I agree with your comment on Brough he has nothing on Briers but Briers isn't playing

I wonder whose fans you could be talking about?

Please explain where I said I was confident?

Huddersfield should be admired for what they have acheived on the field in recent years, even if ultimately they've come up short in terms of silverware. However - there must be alarm bells ringing off the field. Only 5,500 turned up on Saturday to see the top of the table team play another strong club, Hull. If Huddersfield - the birthplace of RL, in the heart of West Yorkshire right next to the M62 is not RL heartlands, what is? So why can they only muster such small crowds to a quality stadium to watch a team at the top of the table? Is the club not working hard enough in the community?



To be fair to Huddersfield, crowds seem down at all clubs this year. RL is facing a big problem.

It's not a rugby town. And tbf how long did it take wire to build up crowds- that only increased after success and you were trying for a lot longer than we have!

Actually the new stadium was the major factor in building up the crowd. Then the recent success boosted it again.
