Having given out all those free tickets the JS ought to be a loud and totally Huddersfield supporting arena on Friday, none of this polite applause during warm ups for the aggressive, rule bending Dragons, silence or boo’s should be the order of the day. A leaf from HT’s playbook making the JS not the most pleasant of places for the away team but loud and wholly supportive for the Giants.A successful French team is important for RL you may say and we should get behind them ? Crap !! They bring nothing to our game only for themselves and yeah the French National side is going to get better when their stars are called Tomkins, Moa, Anderson Bird McIllorum, Drinkwater etc.
All the tricks of the trade will be on display Ollie Russell had better expect an early and late soft hit to test how far Hewer will let them go, injuries will abound when they are under pressure and constant appeals will be forthcoming over the Giants lack of discipline and foul play making them the victims of our foul play not the other way around.
If they came and played an expansive form of pure RL and beat us 40-0 I would applaud them but we all know Friday by their hand, will be an elongated stop start game with unpunished things like cannonball tackles and late hits with late flops abounding.
With no Danny Brough to get in Hewer’s ear and upset him and Woolford having seen this first hand two weeks ago we should go out there, be disciplined, allow their spoiling to go over our heads, keep all the frustration that their antics cause at bay and both on and off the field make the JS Huddersfield the most unwelcoming place on earth for them.
Oh and of course beat them cos I’d like to at least be happy at the end of another two hour game......
