Still a lot to learn.

I think that's harsh on Danny Addy. Here is a guy who had stuck with us through thin and thinner, always did his best. Eventually got the number 13 shirt he had coveted and then hardly ever played there because of other peoples idiotic decisions, and to our knowledge did it uncomplainingly to support the needs of the team. I for one won't be booing him.

If we take your advice we will be ho watching England play New Zealand this afternoon!!!!

Can't agree with that.

If a player has done his best and played his contract out, then he's done all that we have the right to expect and he should to leave with our blessing and thanks, imo.

These blokes aren't 'fans' , they're guys doing a job and like the rest of us are allowed to put their, and their families, interest first. It's a short life in pro sport and I'll blame no-one, who does things in a proper manner, for maximising what they get. The day we, as a group of fans, go down the "FC reject" route would be a cold day in hell and to our eternal shame, as far as I'm concerned.

Whilst I get the idea of giving them some stick to try and put them off their game, I'm not convinced it works anyway.
Adam Walker was the example given, and he played very well for Scotland against a far superior Aussie team. If anything, the boos just fired him up to play better.

Since it can go either way, I'd much rather pay respect to the efforts put in when they played for us. Especially those that did graft like Donno & Addy. People like Gaskell & Clough, the way they've (allegedly) handled themselves recently, I'm all for giving some stick to.

That won't happen. He got told off for being a tube and went off in the huff.

Sadly for him, he was not "above the law" on here like he thought he was.

Oi! This thread is about the 2017 squad and not for dredging up past disagreements.

If you want to do that set up a Facebook page.

But let me know which so I can join and slag off pumpetypump.

What is the current situation regarding the Huddersfield 3? Are they still on our books?

Not sure when their contracts officially end.

30th of November

If Gaskell doesn't go to Hudds I hope is recent number of appearances will be taken into account by any club signing him.

Latest on the Hudds 3 in League Express this week is that Huddersfield are already offering them around other clubs. Not sure if they have already arrived at the Giants but it looks like they have "signed" despite no official announcement.

Feel sorry for Ferguson is that's the case, I'm sure he will get a deal elsewhere if he chooses to.

As for Gaskell and Clough, it's surely their dream move... paid but not being played?

Agree - Ferguson deserves better. Suspect it might be too late/too expensive to offer him a 2017 deal, but it would be nice.

On Gaskell and Clough, I wonder if that attitude has gotten back to Stone, hence the deal going south.

Do Hudders really need another stand off? Gaskell certainly isn't a centre or fullback IMO.

Perhaps not

Given the chronic lack of back rowers in our 2017 squad there must be something in the kitty for whoever might become available. So, why not Fergie?

Fergie is good enough to get another Super League gig as long as a club has room on their cap. Wakefield or Leigh would probably take him. I'd love to see him stay, but I don't think it'll happen.

Gaskell & Clough as far as I'm concerned can be out on the street begging for the way they've acted in the last couple of months.

What he said

One refuses to avail one's self of those frightful emoticons so I will simply say "sad face".

Just read you've signed Kieran Moseley, a hooker from GC Titans. Not sure what to make of that ?

Where?

Well the club would make sense, Rohan knows the Titans well.

I said weeks ago that I wouldn't be surprised if we went for Beau Faloon, because I didn't think AoB and Lumb would be enough cover for hooker (I'm not including Halafihi).
There was talk of Joseph covering hooker but I don't think anyone really considered that to be an ideal solution.

If this is true, I'd expect AOB to leave for a fee which of course might help pay for a debt we have agreed to settle, or possibly the barrister costs!

Hey enough of your scaremongering!

2+2 could equal 4 or 57!! Having followed this club for so long, nothing is impossible, he'll I remember in the 80's we bailed a certain star player out of custody so he could play against Widnes in a CC tie, tell me another club who Cas how that in their CV
