just wonder if EorlS heart is still in. All those comments earlier in the season about being forced to play when injured etc is not a. Good sign imho

And tightened up our defence down the middle. He rarely misses a tackle and it's noticeable when he's gone off.

Don't think people see his great defensive work.

Offensively he has never quite 'run his weight' but I'd have him my team every time for long minutes and great defence.

Brearley,i don't know if i am or not yet, I have other things and other people to consider, It's not just straight forward for me.

I think last season when i didn't have one it would have been cheaper for me if i had, but as i say it is not just a question of money. I do support the club as and when i can, but when i come on the forum i speak my mind, ( i thought that was what a forum was for ) Unfortunately that upsets some people if it involves a player they particularly like.

Regarding Big Eorl, I have never called him a poor player, nor have i ever criticized his work rate, I have said that his talent has largely been wasted, since Brown left and i believe it. My comment that he is poor value for money now, is in comparison to what we could get for the same money with a young upcoming player, being as we are supposedly making a fresh start. It is as ever just my opinion, It's not a moan, a whinge or any kind of complaint, Just an opinion.

You only have to make 5 games for it to be worth your while Jo- if you think you will be able to make that many then you may as well get one. If not- and you can only make three get one anyway and you only have to sell a couple you can't make it to at £15 to get your money back!

I will more than likely get one jools, I am hoping " like everyone else that R Stone is going to be the man ", I have had a couple of short conversations with him, and i was fairly encouraged by how he talked, so as you say a ST it will almost certainly be cheaper for me anyway, it is not just a case of money but i shall en-devour to sort it.

I'll buy one. But if they were £200 still i wouldn't. I want to watch Rugby on a Sunday not a Friday. I could go to every Friday match but I don't want to. I only went to two this season and I very nearly diodn't go to one of those. After spending all week getting up at 6:20 every morning, driving a over 40 mile round trip to work. I don't want to spend Friday night driving into town and back and spending nearly 2 hours sat watching a Rugby match, i'd rather go out with friends or relax at home. If the Giants choose to play on a Friday they are choosing not to be a part of my life. That's up to them. Sport just isn't that important in life.

Completely sympathize with that, It is all a matter of how big a part of your life the Giants are, For some it is very big and good luck to them, Others it is just casual, Mr Davy will appreciate your money which ever you are.

Agree totally, wouldn't have a go at anyone for their lifestyle choices.

I would add that I hope this move works for the club. I don't blame Ken Davy for making this choice as they obviously needed to do something. I also appreciate that he took the time to say he was aware this wouldn't be popular with some of the long-standing fans.

Whilst the friday nights might be inconvenient for some fans to attend the games, it is also beneficial for the players and coaches, the team!
So as fans, are we happy to sacrifice our friday nights to the team have a better chance of being successful? i suspect should we win the treble next year, not many people will be giving it a miss.
Let's hope so

Treble and average attendance of over 10k

Ain't that the truth on here

Stone-age said he wanted a FB,centre and backrow,so could yet see some movement on the recruitment front,depends on who we could ship out I suppose.
Not seen the Bfd 3 play for a while,but you need a deep squad,unfortunately we don't have the production line of young talent that some other clubs have,who on debut look ready for SL .

Take the point about some people needing new signings to be tempted to buy an ST,but the 3 you mention were needed to ensure survival.I'm okay with the squad,FB (as ever) is a big call for Rickster.

Eorl out,Chubs out,Walker in ?

Having big Dan Smith back will be like getting a new signing.

think walker is going to st helens. but yes smith is the forgotten man at the giants.

our 3 signings brierley, ikahihifo and symonds , bringing in these early doors could provide wonders for us, already settled in and get a pre season with us and stone... a head start here as they dont need to settle, mirror the football club where they brought their german players in early pre season and went away bonding, paid off for them with a flying start, same could happen for us

Ha ha loving this post,can talk about the Giants and also have got the opportunity to slag off the sauerkraut's.

Agree about the 3 Giants lads,looking bleak for the 'wagner revolution' already in the long term,Hoyle proves that just because you have the inner drive to make big bucks,you still fall humiliatingly far short of a standard mensa test,SKD thankfully must have realised that from the first few minutes he unfortunately knew he had to deal with that loser.

I was expecting a bit surge of promo and signing or just press released in general following the excitement created by season tickets, but it's all gone a bit dead...

Quote ="HuddsRL5"Ferguson to join us next month... www.scotlandrl.com/article/14887 ... st-against'" yeh spotted that too bit strange why nothing has been anounced yet with signings dont mind ferguson coming back, was good for us in spells and can slot in for injuries

Hope Ferguson has removed his rat's tale.

Agreed about Fergie, was a bit disappointed when he left.

Has a date been announced when the lads go back for preseason? I know Stone said it would be staggered depending on where each player was at regarding fitness and internationals etc. Would have thought most would be in in the next couple of weeks...

mid november pre season starts for some

Wonder if the club gets some joining the academy lads in digging at the old police ground. Even more cheap labour ......

Giants probably hoping Fergie has a few good games in 4 nations and then will announce the signing so it seems better

some of us still have good memories of ferguson

we shipped him off to hull kr on loan to go prove himself as he couldnt get in the team and came back to a us a different player and was brilliant!
