Looking forward to making the trip over to Wakey on Tuesday, one of my Dads days of so he's bringing me over.

Think you lot will have a strong side out but can't see it been good enough to take down this Giants side I think we'll play a similar side to what we did against Bradford... Frawley will rip it up <3, only a friendly though I guess!

Will see you all there I hope!



UP THE GIANTS <3

Don't actually think too much to Frawley, a second grade Aussie!

I was at the Bradford game... the other halfs team

and didn't rate him that highly, I'd say most SL halfbacks should be orchestrating 50+ past a championship side with half a team out!

I'd forgotten it was Tuesday. That is going to be a cold one.

It'll be interesting to see how Broughy goes against his replacement.

yeah oreyt pal

obvs don't watch that much NRL then

Frawley is twice the player Brough is hence why we moved him onto a team with a similar level of quality to him. he was ok in his time

EW created a thread earlier speculating it could be called off, checked the metoffice who say no snow but going to feel like -3 according to them and due to this I won't be making the trip, made the mistake a few years ago against Fev I was bloody freezing and only had a jumper on! (my own fault) but when it's too cold I can't appreciate or concentrate on the game

I find that really sad. Broughy gave you lot great service yet you do nothing but slag him off. At least when he left us we had the decency to admit we'd lost a real gem (all be it a rough cut).

Now to claim Fawley who as noted hardly took the NRL by storm is twice the player Brough is, well mate it's a bit pathetic tbh. He's past his best I'm sure but few HB's even in the NRL were and are twice the player Broughy is. Bet he's glad to be back at a club who's fans at least recognise his talent if not his alleged personality.

We'll have to wait and see how good your new guy is. I'm happy with Broughy for a couple of seasons though.
I take it that you'll be at the game, with the other 4 or 5 Huddersfield fans

I doubt they'll fill the taxi, it's only a friendly.

They will, the taxi is only a Smart car.

Nah, but, I've heard that Bill Oddie is looking for a couple of peddlers, he's been struggling without Tim Brooke Taylor and Graham Garden (this should go well over his head

)

In all fairness I thought the support Hudds have brought to Belle Vue on there last few visits have been much improved, still not fantastic but a lot better.

Its a fair treck on a tandem, I think they do quite well, especially for their age

I do and there's a reason he wasn't seen after a couple of games last season, then he came back lost i think every game he played in then was in the reserves again. Then come contract renewal time he was released and couldn't get a gig anywhere else in the NRL because he was poor. Tbf he did have a decent season the year before but he really suffered from second season syndrome. I'm not going to say he's a poor player or diss him because he's with you but if he plays like last season, your fans will be disappointed but if he can play as he did in his first year you've got a decent half.

Not sure the need to put probably the best player you've had in SL down, not very classy. Frawley would probably say himself, that he'd hope to have a similar effect that Broughy had on your side.

I watch pretty much every game and on the few occasions he was deemed worthwhile choosing for a poor Bulldogs side he was annoymous. He’s not even as good as Danny Brough is now let alone when Danny was in his pomp. Prepare to be underwhelmed.

Their last visit was when the western terrace was shut, and they fetched a staggering 33 fans.

His dad is driving him over and holding his hand so that’s a definite Concorde flying over moment Wrencat

Be interesting to see what Shudds turn up with.
I suspect they'll be crap, but ya never know
If they are crap, its only a friendly, if they pull a decent game together they'll be talking grand finals....



Still, I want them to get behind their team and not blub the place out after every setback



bit like the wakey board really...

We're not all of the same opinion, Frawley has played circa 50 minutes in a giants shirt vs Brough 7/8 years, in which, for the majority, he was the best half I've ever seen in the claret and gold.

Against Bradford, Gaskell looked like the dominant half as Frawley found his feet, I think 9 tries came down Gaskells side.

Should be a good battle on Tuesday, hope Broughy keeps his head and doesn't do anything reckless, I think he could genuinely make a difference for you guys, now he has a point to prove again.

Think it will be a close season between us two this season, more so than most pundits are predicting.

Well put and I agree that there will be little between Huddersfield and Trinity this season.
Your change of coach had the right effect and you will certainly finish top half of the table,( a couple of places behind Trinity)
