On his way? https://www.loverugbyleague.com/post/na ... field-loan

Looks like Hudds are thinking of setting us up as their dual reg championship team for next season.
Or perhaps a merger, they like teams with field in their name, Huddersfield,Sheffield,Wakefield Giants

The word I have is that we are looking for some size, he gives you that.

I would be happy, he does add some size and aggression and I think our current pack lacks both

Thought we would be turning over stones looking for a 6 .Our attack is garbage.Is it just me or do players look better at other clubs because of the standed of the Coaching Huddersfield have one of the best

Did Applegarth kick your cat once? You really don't like him do you.

He's not the best coach that's ever been in Super League but he's not the worst either.

Actually statistically he is the worst, with a 0% win percentage.

Not true, not really, he's not had enough games for that to be a meaningful statistic. Harbin, Kelly and Chester I think had longer losing streaks, however I don't think any scored less tries i those runs.

You keep saying this, but name one - who exactly is this available No 6?

Cory Norman ?

Fair point. I stand corrected.

Two week loan confirmed. We're gonna need a cow bell.

Well he's got the size. Let's hope he has the heart too.
At 29 he's coming into his prime but I'm thinking he still has something to prove to Giants so hopefully he uses us for that.

Interestingly this one and the Innes one says 'initially', don't think the others did, so these may be a more long term strategic signing.

Another player from our feeder club.

The Hewitt one did as well. It's just a sign that they'll likely be extended on a week to week basis afterwards until Huddersfield need them. I think Mason is well down the pecking order there though so i can see him here for a good few weeks. The Giants have ridiculous strength in depth.

The Forber one didn’t. Guess he may go back now Hood is available.

“The deal like all our loan arrangements lasts for 14 days then is reviewed weekly"

I guess it stops us getting tied in if we suddenly get some players back.

Just looked, it didn't.

TBH it could just be the phrasing of whoever put up the post, but it's only Innes and this one that say 'initial'. I'm not reading too much into it either way, but I'd prefer longer term loans where possible. Loan signings can be brilliant, or nothing, we shall see.

It really did. Taken directly off the website...

'Wakefield Trinity can announce the signing of Sam Hewitt from Huddersfield Giants on an initial two-week loan deal.
Hewitt will link up with the squad on Monday ahead of our next game with Salford Red Devils on Sunday 19th March'.

But as you say it's immaterial. Huddersfield will call them back if needed, if they don't they are likely to stay with us. Doesn't help with longterm planning but thats where we find ourselves. In the meantime we need them to help lift us out of our considerable funk.

There's no point arguing. Giants have said all their short term loans follow that plan. 2 weeks initially and then reviewed weekly.

I'm reading it off the Facebook site, in which case I'm right, I don't read the website tbh, so I'll take your word. It's not an issue, as I say it all boils down to who words them.

Really

Another Ex-Academy player of ours.....blimey you may as well rename yourself Huddersfield Giants Reserves 'B' at this rate.
Bet your Academy players are delighted your giving gametime to other clubs reserves players rathen than them.

Is that your way of saying "oh yes I realise everyone else is right"?

tbh despite what some say on here Applegarth is least of our problems

Most of the players we have were signed long before he was in charge, once he became head coach it would appear he had zero money to work with

Truly we could have mal meninga or Tim sheens etc but you can’t build bricks without straw , perhaps not signing Shaul was a bit of a mistake (although he hasn’t been fit to play anyway) but ultimately our problem is down to the playing roster.

Am sure he knew the constraints when he took the job - but realistically we have had between 5-7 starting players out pretty much since the word go.

The fact the club is trying to,wheel and deal to a massive extent after 6 games just shows what the consensus on the active playing roster is
