Over 43.5 points.

Huddersfield are possibly the form side in super league with 3 wins on the spin and a chance of making the play offs. Theres been some fantastic results in the last month and they are side with plenty confidence who are throwing the ball around.

Hammering Wigan and Cas, winning at Hull which is never easy, and running Warrington very close. David Faiumu is a top signing and hes the no 9 who they have been missing this season.

You have to say there is some amount of quality for the Giants around the rucks now and Kevin Brown and Luke Robinson are at last hitting form, possibly at the right time.

Catalans have hit a bit of a slump but are still very much in the driving seat for that 3rd place, which would be an excellent finish for a side who have only been in super league 3 years.

They did though fold quite badly at Hull Kr and lost a number of very soft trys. The French are weak on their right hand side of defence and thats where the Giants in form player Cudjoe will play.

Catalans are always a dangerous side though and Adam Mogg has possibly been super leagues outstanding attacker. He adds that bit of class on the right hand edge and its an area where the Giants have been weak in the last fortnight.

Its only my opinion, and Saints fans will disagree but i also believe they have the leagues best full back and support player in Clint Greenshield.

This looks an open game and with only slight rain, im expecting plenty of line breaks and action at either end of the park.

Giants v Catalans over 43.5 points with ladbrokes.
