My memory is not what it used to be but can I not recall us signing a young GF winning prop forward by the name of Nick Scruton?

How is Carney getting on?

But hes just a kid who may or may not make it, he`s just some bit part player we picked up from some club to try and fill a gap.

Big joe was in the prime of his career, a player who if asked could do 80 mins, or even move into second row with his agility.

Either my sarcasm detector is way off this morning or you're having a laugh?

The whole thing was sarcy, the poster said we havent replaced joe, m.e. said apart from scruton... who is a very good player, from a very good team, who can play 80 mins, unlike joe, whos got good agility, unlike joe, whos got his career in front of him, unlike joe, and is more than an adequate replacement.

Go back to bed paul u`ve got up too early.

Maybe he's Snake Eater/Smithstar...

You have a great pack, decent half-backs but a relatively poor back 5. But maybe that's the best way to make use of the salary cap? - time will tell throughout the season.

I certainly believe my team (Hull KR) and Catalans are the most underated squads in terms of final league placings (Dave Hadfield apart

) and I expect us to win at Odsal next week based on the fact we've had more pre-season matches and your game being called off today.

Same as Bird I suppose, as for Scruton, cant see Leeds letting him come to their rivals if he all that brill? wasn't 1st choice prop if I remember rightly? think that was Leulei and Peacock?

suppose we'll kinow more after the 1st few rounds of SL.

Think you might be suprised by Huddersfield this season 10th-11th seems a little low to me.

Obviously scruton isnt as good as peacock and leulai so had to settle for a bench spot, doesnt mean hes average, just means he not as good.
If we decided to change it one week and put sam on bench for scruton does that mean that sams not as good as scruton?
If giants signed scruton he`d start, suppose he`d be best in world then tho.

If Giants signed Scruton he'd be 4th or 5th best prop so wouldn't start but we getting off topic here and wouldn't want any more posts removed

Pure comedy gold are you Lee Evans by any chance.

Nay come on reddie, dont forget they even think raleigh is better than menzies.

Way too early for post of the year.

Perhaps, but its the frontrunner ATM and will take some beating

That is serious too.







If ya finish in top 6th you had a good season!!

Bit of projection there. Bradford haven't finished outside the top six since the days of Eugene Bourneville, so why would we use that as a standard to judge a season?

cos IMHO your squad looks a bit weak, as I keep saying we will be able to tell after 4-5 rounds, I could be ay off the mark and Bradford may hammer all in front of em, then again

you guys may be eating a very large slice o humble pie?

Still can't seeya winning it though

Huddersfield 9th at best. Weak squad and unproven coach.

As I said prev we wil know more after 4-5 rounds, I'm quite happy with the squad we have.

all the best

If we managed 5th last season with a (IMO) slightly weaker squad than this year (plus injuries!), then why would our position lower. I would say a top 4 for us matey, which will be a bit higher than your finish

Good for you i wouldn't be if i were a Giants fan.

Top four is slightly less optomistic than 1st which a few have been harping on about, lets get things straight, if you finish in top 6 you done well, top four and you had a fantastic season and if you finish 1st then i say well done to ya and give macnamara key to the city, you may be higher than us but to go back to my prev post think 10-11th is a lilltle harsh on us, if we finish in top 8 we done well and top 6 be a great season for us.

but we will know a little more after 4-5 rounds of s/l,

Don't people usually say that when they are leaving?

IMHO i think above tenth and oyu could call your season fantastic. I'm not trying to put Hudds' down but a lot of the lower teams have recruited well and hey, look at Wakey in their first match!
