This one seems to have come out of the blue.

I thought he was playing regularly for you guys. Has he had some sort of fall from favour with your lot?

God knows- tbh all our forwards have been pretty poor.

www.giantsrl.com/news/article/35 ... e-bulls-on Thought it was a joke but NO we are sending our closest competitors another player I cannot understand why we dont do a deal with Wakey loan them a player in exchange for Scruton. WE could do with more competition in the pack. Wakey fans think he does not want to be at Wakey and he could do a job for us. I always rated him when at Bradford

No place in our team at the moment I suppose. Has a few good drives, but struggles to get back into the defensive line a lot of the time. Mullally and Johnson are young and physical so could be a good thing for them in the long run.
Very strange and out of the blue though.
I suppose he and the Bulls will benefit

Didnt expect to see this one, if there has been no fall out then i think it could be to get his fitness up and give mullally a chance instead in our team, faiumu has returned now too

kaufusi has gone ok so far this season without being great! behind faiumu and crabtree in the prop stakes at giants so far id say

Faiumu is not a prop!! big mistake in my opinion!

No fuey ain't a prop but Patrick, mulalley, eorl and koppy are then there is Johnson! We are props galore just goto get them all playing! Think Anderson wants all his boys playing top level stuff and this is the best way to make sure they are all match fit! In ando we trust

Patrick is no longer a prop- have you seen how much weight hes lost since last year? He's smaller than both ferres and chan!

patrick is a top class second rower in the mould of farrel at wigan, kaufusi is an out and out prop, but im sure PA knows what hes doing, but in my opinion (which doesnt count) id rather have kaufusi than mullaly at the moment, hope im proved wrong!

id rather have both Kafusii and Mullally in the team rather than Eorl or Koppy at present on current form, least they are putting themselves about and showing aggression. The other 2 might as well tuck the opposition in when they tackle em!! wheres the passion and fire? Biggest pack in SL still not found forward gear

I agree flying. Eorl just doesn't look interested this season. He perks up for a few minutes then goes back into slo-mo. Needs to sort himself out. Mr Huddersfield giants isn't his usual talismanic self. His love seems to have gone.
I just want to see some passion!

Eorl had a couple of really poor games but he has been back to form the past few weeks.
He is having to take on a huge workload and has probably made more tackles and more metres than the rest of the props put together.

eorl is not used to his best potential, he does way too many side steps for a 18st bloke, he needs to run more direct with a view to offloading, the only time i like seeing him side step is on the tryline cos he usually goes over doing it

He got into the England squad by offloading with 3 men round him, dont know when or why but its obviously been coached out of him now as he hasnt become an average player overnight and he doesnt really tackle at the moment, id describe it more as gently helping people to the ground. thats if they havent offloaded by the time our 3-4 forwards have struggled with em. Now correct me if im wrong but as a prop I was told to run hard at the gap and draw men to tackle me, a 2nd rower was always following and if you didnt break thru you was told to either turn into the tackle to off load or look for the pass as going to ground, worse case get a fast ptb. dont see much of it nowadays? Then onto the ptb where I think the only person ive seen get a penalty by struggling to get a quick ptb was Jerry. We seem to have changed tactics and its all down the middle, but with a pack that couldnt beat an egg and one of the better 3 quarter lines it seems a strange way to play IMO. No-one seems to back up so even if the forwards did try offload who would they pass to? highlighted by Koppy away at Widnes were on at least 2 occasions he was offering ball to a runner into gap but no-one within 10 feet of him, he then took forever to get up and ptb!!

spot on, been in cracking form recently and even when he doesnt have a good game as some say he is up there as one of the top tacklers... which in turn will take its toll on your go forward, robs you of energy... all linked to the team not completing sets and giving pens away

Faiumu may not be a prop but has been played there quite abit now and so far this season has been the top performer.

patrick's days as a prop are gone i think, primed to be a 2nd rower now

only thing koppy been good at this season is giving cheap penaltys away

agree he has had a couple of decent runs recently, but defensively he has less power in his tackle than robbo and the attacker usually finds his elbows. i rate eorl, but its frustrating not seeing him skittling players in attack and defense. he needs to get himself back up off the deck quicker too, i never see him fighting on the ground like jerry

.... also im surprised Fusi has been loaned out, id rather we had sent Koppy out on current form. We have no excuse tomorrow if we don't win the forward battle with the injuries cas have.

Im expecting a close one tomorrow, cas look great and Daz Clark looks like a world better. Expecting Koppy and Eorl to prove me wrong..... 3 tries each 30-22 giants!

kopczak on loan at bradford

Ha, that would have perked him right up

Wow, really didn't see that coming. Saw him as one of our senior props. Ballsy move by PA. Shows great faith in mulally, fooey and Johnson.

From what I've seen, I've liked the look of him. If PA thinks that he needs to improve, and he can cover him short term with better (in PA's eyes), then happy days.

It's certainly a good deal for the bulls.

Was absolutely immense for us today. Ran on to the ball like a train every time. Really worked hard in defence. Very very impressed!

Been like that for us, which is why its such a baffling decision. mullally has come back a great player too, but still used too sparingly imo. Hope to see him back in the claret and gold before too long!

Great for us today , same as mullally good prop and runs hard. Thanks to Anderson and giants really helping us fill the gaps with these loan players

Come on you bulls !
