St Helens vs Huddersfield

1st venture onto here so thought i'd set up a topic for the live match tonight as 3rd plays 4th.

Teams are below:

Saints

Wellens, Shenton, Soliola, Meli, Pryce, Roby, Graham, Puletua, Wilkin, Moore, McCarthy-Scarsbrook, Clough, Wheeler, Ashurst, Dixon, Foster, Armstrong, Gaskell, Ashe.

Giants

Grix, Lawrence, Cudjoe, Gilmour, Hodgson, Brown, Brough, Crabtree, Robinson, Griffin, O'Donnell, Fa'alogo, Faiumu, Raleigh, Kirmond, Patrick, Horne, McGillvary, Fairbank.

I'm backing the Saints in this one. Giants have faded over the past month while St. Helens have looked very strong recently.

Massive collision early on between Graham and Robinson.

For a bit of fun i'll back Giants! Good to see Crusaders winning...wish rl had been dealt with better in Wales

I'd be surprised if Crusaders held out.

I'm supporting Giants in this but still think Saints will win.

Nice even game so far.

I've lost count on the amount of tackles Robinson has made! I'd put the Giants on top at the moment....just, well apart from that kick!!

Saints finding it tough alright to get out of their half.

Oh big knock on there by O'Donnell. Loss of momentum for the Giants.

If Giant's have 5 mins more pressure on the Saints then I'm hoping Crabtree will be utilised off the bench!!

Need to keep their cool.

They're almost trying too much too soon. This wet ball is causing havoc!!

Oh no! That would have been a sensational try.

Again trying too much!! Should have let it go to the 5th and Brough to dictate....he's looked dangerous so far.

Opening try. Leon Pryce. Oh wait, it's gone to the video ref.

Tough call but the 'obstructer' didn't stop the tackler

I didn't think so. Right call in my opinion.

That's the difference between the two sides.

Yeah right call.....if only Giants had clinical finishing they'd have had at least 2 scores

True. To be fair, they were a dropped ball away from taking the lead earlier on. They should try stick to the game they were playing and not get side-tracked.

They seem to have lost some momentum/confidence since the try.

This is where I think the Giants lack. Their pack is lacking in thrust compared to the top sides.

Crabtree seems the only one to take him up at pace and I don't think they're using him enough! Twice I think in memory....oo this knock on could be a confidence boost.

Big scrum here.

Again a big mistake!! Questionable block though?

Score lads?

6-0 Saints ht

Only 6 in it, but it seems like a big six to make up.

Think Giants need 1st score.

Saints get the first score.

IMO this should be chalked off

Last time I comment!! I'd agree harty.....good to see you on board tonight fair play though a double dummy on one guy

shocking to be honest

Some of the decisions in the super league in general are questionable at best.

How do prop, welcome to the board,

Game is dragging a bit really.

Cheers bud, i'm more a r.u, fan but thought i'd try to get this board going too plus i'm getting into league again. Not sure about the reaction i'll get but since I started watchin league (about 8 years ago) i've followed leeds and recently the crusaders as well for the welsh bit!

Im more of a casual Fan, live in the south so don't follow a team but like the fast paced furious action of league,

Helens score again its over

Saints are alot more dominant now. I'm probably more of a casual fan but those are the two teams I always look for their score on.

Looks like a nasty injury there especially for a rugby player to be given pain relief.

If this is given: 18-0 game over.

its over

I agree

I'd give that

Okay, that drop goal by Gaskell definitely kills this one off.

Looks like Saints'll be coming out of this sinbin and still have gained 2 points!

Saints 19-6 Huddersfield

If Giants had taken their chances in the 1st half this may have been a closer match but Saints were ahead over everything in the 2nd. Graham gets motm but for me it has to go to Robinson for staying on the pitch after being knocked out in the 1st minute!!

I will try to do these regulary but am away in Cornwall next Fri-Sun so will be a couple of weeks till the next one cheers for the contributions

Thanks for this prop.

No probs...may as well get the oval ball games popular on here!!
