Last year Giants had about 34 in their squad. I think 14 were academy products inc 3 full internationals + 1 England Knight + several academy internationals. (with 4 non UK players)

In 2016 ofthe top 34 Bulls players there were I think 7 from the Bulls academy. No full internationals among them. (with 6? non UK players)

So it looks like The Giants academy - though not in your class - is doing a decent job and is probably worth persevering with.

last year ex Bulls Wardle / Roberts and Patrick (briefly) featured for the Giants. In 2017 Roberts, Foster and O'Brien will be valuable members of the squad but it would be a stretch to say that they outnumber or outshine the club developed talent.

Now the Giants are playing Friday nights I hope you guys pull through and play Sundays - I'd try and get to plenty of your home games.

Its a good question, I had been thinking the same thing on the way home from the match. Are we open for trading? My lottery is now either due or overdue.

Stopped paying lottery at point we got liquidated. Afaik they stopped collecting it at that point.

Its in a separate account and as a charity type lottery is not touched by the Administrator and should be up and running again soon I hope!

Thanks for that, might just take a ride up and see if theres anyone about. Might be a bit like the Marie Celeste!

Well I believe the Ghost of Stuart Duffy still haunts the place

but don't tell M E as he might be tempted to do an exorcism
