I'd go BIG otherwise our pack will get dominated big time like has happened a lot recently and the backs have no chance on the back of that.

Huddersfield's pack is beatable so long as you don't lay them at their own game. If we try to match their big men by filling our pack with our big men I think we will lose that battle.



We need to tire them out and run them all over the park and have a good kicking game that keeps them stuck in their 20m as much as possible.



I'd go for mobility based on the fact trying to match them for muscle isn't going to work. Having given further thought to playing A Powell I think if we do he will and truly get found wanting. He was out of his depth v Leeds so against this lot? Well I reckon they will be glad to see him on the pitch.



And before anyone says I am having a go at him I am not. I just don't think he is ready.

Agreed, we need to play to our strength, and make their strength their weakness. Be mobile, kick well, and tire them.

i'd go with that apart from a nagging little thing that reminds me of a similar strategy last time we played the bulls at OT.

we got battered that day. lets hope we execute better tomorrow.

Difference being that was at the end of a playoff campaign where our lightweight pack had given their all.



We should be fresher vs Huddersfield and I am not worried about that.



Tbh I am not worried about our pack vs theirs, I am more worried about our creativity.



I still think we will win tommorrow though. Huddersfields league position flatters them massively. Their fans are deluded and actually think the LLS is reflective on who is the best team in the league.



We do need creativity at half though.

Due to have heavy rain this evening, before and during the match so we need the Matty Smith Challenge Cup Final 101 Master Class with the kicking game and tactics.

Regardless of weather kicking needs to to top notch

Why do you guys refer to Tomkins as 'Sam'? Are you all on 1st name terms with 'Sam' and not the rest of the players?

Because there are two Tomkins. Mind you there are also two Sams now, and two Powells

Yet another Saints newcomer shows his ar2e in public.

not really mate the OP says 'Sam' @ fullback. Sam who? Sam Powell? If that’s the case you may have a shot at winning tonight. SAM Tomkins has been found out now. He is nowhere near effective as previous, which happens to all good players. Roby as a good example. Also his lack of games could show tonight, what is the reasoning behind him playing so little games this season? I doubt he is injured / ill / his mum wrote him a note to get out of PE / he forgot his kit. A case of holding him back to sell at a higher price?

Tuson and Sam Powell out of the squad, replaced by Logan Tomkins and Greenwood.

No recognisable Loose forward and no one to spell the half backs which means Green will play the full 80. Game over before it's already started.
