I am a relatively new supporter of 5 years, having come up from the deep south. But I remember the impact Nathan had on the team and the passion and professionalism he has shown towards the club. I do not believe he will go back on his word and I thank him for converting me to the wonders of SL and the Giants in particular. I met him last year when my son was a mascot and he is genuinely a really nice man and I will always watch his progress from afar with great interest.

Fartown, there are no transfer fees any more for players.

Joe westerman Castleford to hull £175,000 as he was on a long contract at Cas and Hull wanted him straight away. we paid Wakefield £14,000 for Danny Brough whether a transfer fee or compensation it does not matter the longer the contract length left the higher the sum if they want the player or he stays unless the contracted club chooses to let him go for free

Mate there are no transfer fees trust me i should know.

So why would any club with a player on a five year contract let them go ?? I see hull are fancying Larne Patrick too !! It's to be hoped we have sorted him a contract out !

So for instance NB goes to Saints and comes knocking for DB, LC, LP, GE et all they can just sign and go then ?

He's signed for Stains according to one of the coaching staff, but hasn't told the players.
Let's hope they don't let it affect them and that we manage to hang on to him till the end of the season, though I doubt Seamus would write off 2012 without a big fight to get him over to the dark side.

Browny will join saints at the end of the season if he doesent get a job in the NRL.Fartown there is no transfer fees end of.

So any team at any time can sign any of our players ? So NB goes to Saints tomorrow and takes half our team it's legal and we can't stop it ? So why did Hull pay £175,000 for Joe Westerman ?

www.smh.com.au/rugby-league/leag ... 1vmz4.html so everyone knows...just remember to look surprised we it comes out in the press. i hope if it comes down to NB he wont come over till end of the season, i think i would lose a little bit of respect for him, he has done such a great job your your place he should want to see it though, for davy, the players, you guys but also for himself........but if you were to let him go Quote ="BOYD2"Fartown, there are no transfer fees any more for players.'" really? so Hull just gave a early christmas pressie Cas??? theres not many as most teams and players still vaule a contract

When we had Mick Potter he was open about the fact that he intended to see out his contract with us and then get an NRL job won the back of his experience at Saints and Catalans.
However, no job materialised and he signed for Bradford.
If Brown hasn't been tapped up yet, he may be a little nervous about the prospect of no job coming his way for next year and take what is probably a good offer from Saint Helens.

If St's want Mr Brown they will get him, but as Browny has said they will have to wait until the end of the season. personally i would like to see a role like Shaun McKrays role at Hull to be created so we can at least tempt Browny to stay a little longer, this way we get the use of his contacts an knowledge would be a massive help for baloo down the line.

that said im looking foward to the Baloo era think he will do a good job, done the man hours as assistant so earned his chance. one of my pet hates is when players an ex players step into coaching / developmental roles without having done a aprentaship.

is that aimed at lolesi??!

so if/when brown goes to saints we will prob think...why didnt we offer him a longer deal at the giants!

No we won't- Nathan has done a great job but the will he won't he is not good for the squad- even if he accepts a job at saints you can bet there will be a clause to allow him to go if a aus job comes up.

Nathan brown has taken this set off players as far as he can, let him join saints for a new challenge. I would only imagine he'd ever want brough & patrick with him. So baloo may want his own players too and stamp he's own indentity to the squad. Good luck to both parties

don't think he would want Brough with young Lomax and Wheeler coming through.

At the moment my opinion of NB -bar for the silver evidence - is right up there

If he moves and starts dismantling our team - well then hes certain to lose a few points Im afraid
We took the chance on TS and NB and its about time some sense o decency and fairplay came into the frame (yeah - I know -its a lot to hope for in the modern game of musical chairs --but I seriously think KD has treat both pretty straight and shown a bit o faith !)

Once was enough in my eyes!

Prophetic words

told you back in march!

I said he should have been given the punt then too!

So your the one to blame for the awful run

NB said at the Supporters Association's meeting last week that he would NOT be taking any Giants' players to Saints. "It would be unfair on both Paul and the club. A lot of time and effort have gone into developing players and I'm not going to let the club down**."

** as in taking players before anyone pipes up about performances!!

tony smith said the same thing when he left for leeds rhinos... hope nathan sticks to his word which i think he will.

do you want my next prediction?

if its to do with the Eurolottery --PM me please -and well split it!!!
