why all the chants and lines of 'sign him up' when he is signed till the end of 2016?

seems someone starts a rumour hes off and it snowballs..

maybe it is true he is going but they will have to pay if so , if not then all the chants are just daft. sure the club will negotiate when its time too, last i read from jerry is that he was enjoying his rugby, lets not cause unnecessary unrest

he has until the end of 2016 then he is a free agent. Rumours of Wigan sniffing.

If he does go and we get some money for him who are we going to buy with that money?

There's not a better winger than Jerry who we could sign. Simple as that.

I understand why some players contracts are allowed to run down before a decision is made, but surely Jerry is in a very small group of players who should be given a contract as the 1st opportunity!

There's not s single winger we could sign----- but Jerry not near the England squad....

Lads underrated by other teams! The flair of penny, ormsby. Power of hall, carney. Speed of charley and swift take the plaudits. Jerry is one of the top kick returners, he has a good try scoring record. Lads got good pace and can make a break, also owned the other power winger in carney.
I think teams like ours have the fear of our better players being poached as the lure of Wigan Leeds and saints must be hard to reject as there is a greater chance of winning things in honesty.
But as brealy says we have him for another year unless they come in with the cash!

Agree 100% Adamhuddsgiant but would like to add he is a player that obviously loves to play.

some fans seem to think he is leaving this season the way they go on, just reminding that he has another year next year and whos to say the giants arent already talking to him about a new one.

not just jerry out of contract next season theres others too, are we going to start chanting for those?

maybe concentrate on taai who is ooc!

According to this weeks League Express negotiations with the club haven't been going as he likes and he is still weighing up his options for the end of his contract.

Yeah, lad puts his hand up and puts in the graft! Players that chase the work obviously love the game! Defo a fan favourite and would love him to be a lifer with us.

A lad that had a similar approach was Alex brown, think he was at batley, not sure where he is now!

Because we offered him a contract which ain't much more than what his on which ain't the biggest in our team, he feels we deserves more and we won't budge, same as ukuma really

McGillivray Is definitely a quality player, He is one of the Giant's players I would be really sorry to see go, But if one of the so called top clubs came in for him you could not blame him if he went.
How many people would not change companies to do the same job, for more money and a chance of bonuses'. No doubt there would be plenty of gnashing of teeth on here at whatever club took him, Not unlike at Wakey when we take their best players.

Hopefully It's all nothing, But the answer is to give our players a chance to win things and then we can be a top club as well.

i agree! as far as i know there is a contract offer for him but he isn't rushing into anything as yet, and probably rightly so, he has 12 months to sort his future out so let's leave him to concentrate on his game,
agree about the chanting, it's a bit disrespectful to players who are out of contract IMO

We should be breaking the bank to sign Jerry. He deserves to be one of our top earners because he has earned that right. If we end up losing him it will be criminal.

I'm pretty confident that he won't be asking for silly money.

Thought someone on here said his dad started the rumour at Newsome and it's spread like wildfire???

No doubt if he does decide to move on the naysayers will be claiming we "let" him go. Some players are one man clubs- others like a new challenge occasionally- and dare I say it the bigger chance to win silverware.
We can't pay everyone what they want due to the salary cap- folk moan that we don't make loads of big signings, we've signed hinchcliffe and rapira- but as a result those people will moan that we can't keep other players as we have only a certain amount of money to go round the rest.

And to add to what others have said- I think people should be more worried we lose Michael Lawrence - who is also off contract next year. The lad does nothing wrong- it's more likely he goes given he has improved going forward, tackles like a demon, rarely makes mistakes and rarely gives away penalties - but the minute ferres is fit he will be dropped like a stone.... Again...... He must be pretty fed up by now!

I was baffled by the chanting myself and one bloke i spoke to was adamant he was off at the end of this season and judging by the chants so did plenty others - i would hate to lose Jerry, he's my favourite player but if he decides he wants to move on then fair play to the bloke he's earned the right to leave this club as a bit of a legend !!

unless we did everything within our powers to keep him, which i'm pretty sure we will!

if Jerry leaves i hope it's because Jerry wanted to leave, to further his career if he thought he couldn't do that with us and not because the club didn't do enough to keep him

no doubt the whingers will still want PA sacked RT ran out of town and KD burnt at the stake though.. oh and that we sign Slater, Sam Burgess SBW ETC

so the club do want to sign him up... maybe the fans should start chanting for jerry to sign!

like others have said what about players like lawrence who are ooc at the same time and cudjoe too i think.

all abit premature

and we cant go breaking the bank for players, fans need to understand this important point....

we also have another winger who will be on a nice salary as he was one of the best wingers in sl at the time we signed him in broughton, could have given jerry more if we got that signing right

absolutely monstrous tonight! what a try and they looked petrified of him, on form he is as good as any winger in the country right now, and i have said it before and will say it again, would be pushing for international recognition if he didn't wear claret and gold

superb performance, but yet again the chants of sign him up, the contract is there for him!!

If we let Gerry go I'll question our ambition as a club

Unless we sign someone like Akila Uate or Manu Vatuvai

yeh the silly chants again lastnight



still got till 2016 and a contract ready for him to sign.upto him

"if we let Jerry go"

but what if Jerry wants to go? and despite the club doing everything they can he wants to leave, do we still call the club out for "letting him go"?

you can't keep players against their will.

We could always start slagging him off Mullally style.

Personally I don't get involved in the sign him up chants.

However I understand people's concerns.

Where has this 'there's a new contract waiting' come from? I haven't heard anything about it.

If Jerry was to decide to leave it would not be good for us as one of our own would be admitting that even he doesn't believe we can win anything.

or afford or be willing to pay him what he thinks he deserves.

the new contract thing came from someone "within the club"
