Given Walker got a bump on the nogging. You would assume he is out.

Some of the lads have had 2 games in a short period so I would reckon they would be rested.

I'd imagine Percival would be back. Is Turner due???

Lance earned his spot this week so if Walsh is back then Walsh and Lance.

For me assuming all fit.

Lomax Makinson Percival Dawson (thought he did well) Swift, Lance, Walsh
Amor Roby Walmsley Sia Manu Flash

Bench: Masoe, Laffranchi, Wellens (think he has earned his spot) Greenwood or Richards (they have earned their place too)

According to Brown in this weeks League Weekly, Walsh's recovery is "heading in the right direction" but he is not expected back in action so soon.

Turner is a still a major doubt for this week and Manu is likely to miss three weeks.

Wheeler and Percival are back in the frame but Walmsley could miss out again.

LMS and Amor are back from suspension.

I would go with:

Lomax
Makinson
Percival
Dawson
Swift

Hohaia
Wellens

Amor
Roby
Laffranchi
Flanagan
Soliola
Jones

Masoe
LMS
Walker
Greenwood

Thanks for the injury up date.

So at the moment I'd swap Manu out of my line up and Jones back in.

Watching the sky prgrammes, Carney's been quite critical of Huddersfield defence out tward the edge channels. Hopefully Manu, Sia and Greenwod if involved will have some real joy.

I do wonder/fear whether playing against their former coach may be the extra inspiration that the Giants need to get themselves going again.

Both their centres are out which is the cause of that I believe.

If Huddersfield play to their best, we'll struggle, especially if Walsh isn't fit. But a record of 2 wins from 7 for Huddersfield suggests they have not started this season as rock solidly as they have previous seasons.

Their own fans seem to be critical of their pack, with only Crabtree doing any real work, so we should be able to dominate there. The worry is a fired up Huddersfield with Brough on form could steamroller us.

Crabtree doesnt run his size at all. Amor and Walmesley are far better than anything they've got in the pack. If those two get rolling we should be fine

Unlike you to back the other team

I do fear the worst for this game, although we are on great form the Huddersfield team on paper is good enough to beat us combined with the fact we could still be missing Walsh, with two proper halves and a decent pack not to mention us not often playing are best there i can see a narrow victory for them.

Good to see the usual saints mentality kicking in

Good Tactic for this week would be to be attack the centres and B defenders ,
lots of short side plays.

Plus bomb the F*** out of Grix and for territorial kicks , kick to Grix rather than
either McGillvery/Broughton starving them of ball.

A narrow basic game worked perfectly last week. Don't think those tactics can
simply be repeated.

Dawson and Jones need to see plenty of ball.
