Just a rumour on 24/7 R.L. page that we may be getting Craig Huby from Huddersfield. Thoughts if so?

No thanks.

2 stone overweight.

Han't had an injury-free season for 10 years.

Will want a retirement contract (Decent wage, excessive length).

Where does he write his name?

Up until going to Shudds, Huby was starting to come into his own at Cas as a long minutes, ball handling prop.
He's no James Graham but the sort of player that's dropped off the radar and got Wakey written all over him.

Provided he puts in a decent shift in the gym, he'd do fine with us. He looked dreadfully out of condition the last time I saw him play.

He got his testimonial at Cas and then wanted to move on after all the loyal fans had chipped in. Rumour was that he had a chronic back injury and wanted a 3 year deal but Cas were only willing to give him a 1 year deal but at a decent wage. Shudds came in and gave him what he wanted. Leave well alone.

If he's got a chronic back problem,he should fly through our medical procedure then!

I would rather we went for someone else really.

Up to him leaving Castleford, I did rate him, but has become injury prone, and like someone said earlier now looks overweight.

Our props issue for me, is a bit of a concern. FOr a team to progress, you need to replace outgoing players, with incoming ones, are that bit better.

I am not sure we have done this yet.

However, I would like to be proved wrong, and in MC, CC and JK, I trust

quality player, would be a massive step forward for us.

Not 2 stone overweight. Saw him on Saturday at Cutsyke after we played and he looked lean and fit.
Wearing Giants gear.

Half the Aussie test pack were as some would say'overweight'.I seem to remember reading somewhere that latest idea was that carrying that extra stone helped to avert injuries in the collision.

I'd rather we had Huby than nobody

There were certainly a few who were carrying a few pounds, but these were the "run it in hard" kind of players, whereas Huby is a bit better than that. Having said that, Solomona was never trim and he did okay.

From what I saw of him at Cas, he was a cracking player; not quite the class or brains of Graham, but a similar type of prop - big, mobile and with a decent offload. I haven't seen much of him at Shudds, but what I have seen, has been significantly less impressive.

I'd take a punt on him personally, classic Wakey signing and to be fair, we could use a bit of experience in the pack with Scrutes going.

Agreed.
If we could get him fit enough to play 20 games in a season, he would be an excellent signing.
Like others have said, he had a poor season at Shudds, although, most of their squad had a poor season, which points to something other than ability being the problem.

A la Colin Forsyth, Eric Chisnall & George Ballentine?

Completely exaggerated as ever, can't imagine why.

Decent signing if we can make i but massive step forward, no.

Really do wish people would get their facts right before posting . In his first season at Hudds (2015) Huby played every game (32) . Last year he missed the first part of season with broken wrist sustained in training. Came back from that successfully . Not a liability at all .

Frustrating isn't it. Certain posters claimed Ferguson was now a ten game a season crock yet he's played none stop for two years and just completed a successful four nations. Why people chose to peddle rubbish baffles me other than they must have an agenda against the individual.

Vasty : Massive step forward because 1) Huby is a better player than Scruton ( I rated Scruton who was my player of the year for the 2015 season ) and 2) Huby is a miles better option for us than the the work shy fop Anderson. So in my books that represents a massive step forward.
To be honest Vasty if Huby really is available I can see plenty of other clubs would be in for him so would be a real feather in the clubs cap to get such a high quality player to sign.

Wish we had gone to the Cutsyke game now. Went to Lock Lane V Methley and if the ref hadn't blown time early the Lane would have passed 100 points.

If Huby has slimmed down he'd be a decent signing considering our budget and the market.

Go on then I'll give you that as it sounds fair enough to me.
