Maybe Hudds who have had a terrible pre season. They’ve been beaten by a fev side with players playing out of position and only 3 subs and had a lot of first teamers in. Hudds were horrible dnd of last season and it looks like they’ll struggle this year too

Think they’ll struggle even with their spine back. Clune played in the reserve grades for years before he sort of found himself in Newcastle’s lineup because of injuries, and now Giants have pinned their hopes on him. Lolohea’s capable of great moments, and also of going missing. They don’t have a fullback. And now they’ve brought in Burgess - an ageing impact sub - on huge money to carry their pack now Hill’s gone.

I can imagine Fev were good value for that scoreline.

A bad run of injuries could hit us, but we have some really able cover compared to Hudds, Cas, Salford and even Leigh.

Keep hearing Miller is on his way to Hudds, I wouldn't be surprised to see it to be honest. Although he's not the player he was, think he'd still be a half decent option to cover to injuries for them.

Lolohea is a strange one isn't he, capable of being a brilliant player on his day but he almost seems a little bit lazy, which you just can't get away with no matter how good you are.
