the knock on king..

the guy just cant hold onto the ball, wigan havent fixed it and sent him back the same

nevermind the conditions lastnight hes been at it for years

What he hasn't been doing for years is playing 80 mins and putting in a load of tackles. 44 last night- Something has changed

Yes playing fora contract for another club.

Expect him to rip it up till july then sign for another club and do nothing for the rest of the season

ah they always up their game when the contract is up

cant hold onto a ball though

This is abit harsh after one competitive game isn't it. Even some of our safest pair of hands were dropping the ball.
Does anybody have any inside information about him wanting to leave/playing for contract elsewhere? I'm sure if this was the case, he'd of been loan swapped with another player OR he wouldn't of got back into the team.

its not after one game its been going of for years now

I thought he looked about as good in defence as I can remember. Really grafted. Peter Shilton with evo stick gloves could've spilled something on Friday night, so hard to beat him up for that.

One game in and the snipers are at it already, as jools says he did 80mins, never done that before, didn,t have the engine, thats why he was deemed a prop and not a second row,so maybe now he has and will be a more versitile player. Re playing for a new contract, that could be said of any player.

So.....after 1 game against a top side and i've seen or heard folk already having digs at a returning player, the new strength and conditioning team, Scott Grix (as usual), Danny Brough and the coach !!

What on earth do some people expect/want ??

I guess people want a guaranteed win at Saint Helens with an understrength team.
In that weather mistakes are made.

On the plus side, I thought Paul Andersons comments on the game was pretty calming, mature and honest. Not the usual 'I've read it all before'.

Plus, if Jamie Foster does come then we'll have a new target for any loss we have all season and Larne can catch a break and concentrate on doing the tough job he's going to have to do all year being one of our few senior forwards.

You all have short memories or are a are a bunch of hypocrites.

After how he went to Wigan he made it clear he did not want to be at the Giants and you were all on here saying good let him go.

Jesus you are a shortsighted bunch.

He is playing for a contract and then can leave on a free.

He would have stayed at Wigan but because we were holding out for a fee he had to come back.

...........

In normal life people want to leave the place they work and go to what they think is a better job, it turns out not to be so and that person realises maybe they have made a mistake and want to go back to the job and mates they had before if it will take him back.....how do you know that is not the case ??

We will see in July.

I an happy to be wrong.

Heres looking forward to him playing 30 + outstanding games.

The issue for me was that i felt our squad was too small and lacked the quality for a title challenge this year.

Losing Ferres and the injuries confirms that to me.

I would rather than Anderson be planning for next season. Improve the quality in the squad make some changes and have a proper go next season.

i said at before the season started we lacked depth n could see us finished between 8th n 10th

All the coaches i've spoke to have all said yes we are a bit light so it's not like they haven't been trying to strengthen.....obviously we want quality players and there's less of them around and plenty other clubs after them.

As for larne- so what if he's playing for a contract as long as we get the best from him!


You'd rather sack off this season- after one game? Which you didn't see? Seriously!

If the alternative is getting in second rate players because they are available which means we do not have space next season YES.

No problem getting cover in for this season if that's what we do BUT giving longer contracts because we are desperate is foolish.

There are unlikely to be any decent players out there who are not already tied up with clubs. So what will be available will be limited unless we get Mitchell Pearce !!!!

Our recruitment is not always the best.

We have given extensions to players who were past the best.
Someone at the club thought Keith Mason was worth 100k a season so maybe i am right to be suspicious

We've not got foster signed on a five year deal- he's on a trial period so your argument doesn't follow.

As for Mitchell Pearce -the guy who's currently in extended rehab?????
We sacked a guy for tweeting a picture of an anus- sold one on whod glassed a woman and got rid of another who had an extra marital affair with a teammates wife-
So ken will ok signing a guy with alcohol problems who's been involved in a couple of "incidents" with women making accusations against him, and videoed simulating a lewd bestial sex act - yep can see that piece of hypocrisy happening...

Being a dog botherer worked out OK for Wire !!!

I thought Wane didnt want to keep him thats why he came back ,thought he went really well at saints ,my man of the match and i only saw him drop 1 pass which was a hard pass to take

Well we do need another scapegoat now it looks like Grix will be out a while.......

I don't get the whole we all said we were glad to let him go?

It was a shock when he had gone to Wigan but I am sure the majority understood why he would want to play for them and wished him well.

For me he is a good pack player. At loose he has freedom to run some decent lines all over the park. He tackles well, is a physical player that doesn't really lose his head as similar style players do. Glad he is back and imo is a plus in our team

man of the match



did you see the pathetic attempt to stop that saints try close to the line, should have been smashed into not going over the line but no.. there was another giants player involved too in that, poor.

like ive said before its not after 1 game this knocking on issue he has, been going on for seasons and i was hoping it would have got better with a season at wigan but it hasnt on what ive seen so far.

where he has improved is he can play more minutes now than before.

hope he can get back to the clean breaks he used to do a few seasons back

Dear me is this real? scapegoating after ONE game!

I despair sometimes
