I imagine Hughes and Crosby will miss out depending on Lauaki's fitness.

I'd drop Lima to the bench, start Lauaki (if deemed fit) and bring Tuson in for Hughes. Pretty sure that is what will happen

I hate to say it as a huge fan of Faz but his lack of aggression in contact would make me lean to leaving him out this week. The Giants have a big strong pack and they'll come at us more so then Saints did at the weekend.

Faz and Crosby to miss the cut for me with Hughes versatility being handy from the bench.

Crosby misses out if Eric is 100% fit to play

Hughes may be in for cover if there is a doubt over Daz...if Daz is 100% then Tuson instead of Hughes

As much as I don't want us to face Huddersfield with only three props. I don't feel this is the match to throw Crosby in at the deep end. Hughes definitely deserves a place on the bench. As to who misses out between Tuson and Farrell, I can think of reasons for both.

Watching back the Saints game. Hock played for around 55 minutes, Hansen for 50 minutes, Farrel for 40 minutes and Tuson for only 15 minutes. Chris played the first ten of the second half plus the final five minutes.

Id definitley leave Crosby out seen a few 20's games latley not been overly impressed with him nor Gil Dudson either but i suspect Dudson will get the nod as Wane seems to think because he has super league experience he should get the nod before the other young pretenders! Quite shocked that Crosby has got the nod over Burke and Spencer watched those 2 play in the testimonial against huddersfield and Burke who we originally thought was dudson due to his large frame was very impressive and put a couple of big shots on crabtree (if my memory serves me right), thought we might have seen him on the bench this season. Spencer has made a few errors in the chances hes had thats probably why hes not featured since saints in the league but maybe its time to give him another try he was thrown in the deep end after all. Whatever happens weve certainly got the re-inforcements bring on wembly!!!

I'd also have Hughes on the bench and the choice between Farrell and Tuson is a tough one. Faz has a real problem with his lack of impact in the tackle and he doesn't dominate the tackle. Tuson really defends with aggression which on the face of it you'd say is better. However, Tuson is far more likely to miss a tackle than Farrell and that could be crucial.
In attack Farrell is generally much better but he's not always consistent. Faz can make a break and cause problems but I do think he's far more likely to do that when playing at loose forward than at second row.
Tuson on the other hand is a very skilful player yet never seems to show it, possibly due to the short spells that he gets but even when he's started games and played the majority he's still not really demonstrated what he's capable of.

FAZ and CROSBY to miss out for me.

Same here. If Goulding is carrying an injury then we need Hughes on the bench in case

Listening to the podcast. Mossop was suffering with injury but has managed to shake it off, and whether Lauaki plays is still up in the air.
