What he is actually quoted as saying is, that Huby was seemingly happy at the club and very much part of the plans until a few days ago, regardless of what the media/social media say, if the player says he's happy then the club have to take that as gospel.
So Huby then asks to leave, so what do we do? agree to release him, presumably for a fee? or make an unhappy player stay?
Can't see anything wrong with what the club or Thewlis has done or said, to me, it's just another "bash the club" thread!

Good luck to Chubs, it never really worked out for him here for various reasons.

If Rick Stone told Huby to find a new club then I expect that his replacement will be announced pretty soon...

Pinocchio Thewlis is in full flight now, he can't help himself.

He also lies to people within the club, even former coaches. "Thewlis is driving the club into the ground" - That was from somebody who was employed by the club until the middle of June!

How Thewlis still has a job is beyond me. Surely the only thing saving him is he's a friend of the Davy family. His arrogance is beyond words.

We are pushing it mighty fine. If we don't get 2/3 players in over next 2/3 weeks we are going to have had almost a full pre season where:

1 senior prop (Rapira) is going to be trying to bring on the rest of the youngsters during the whole of the pre season. If Rapirs gets injured we are F***ed.

No recognised full back participating in all of pre season.

Brough our main influence out till almost Christmas with his injury and not participating in most of pre season

Joe Wardle unsure whether he will be going to Newcastle or not.

Id say things are looking extremely bad for us at the moment and we are in a world of trouble with only 2 Quota spots available and pretty much NO English players within reason available. If we are looking at the likes of Bailey/Harrison etc we are going massively backwards.

What I would expect him to say is "Thank you for your honesty Craig. We will of course accede to your request and make you available. However I think you have to understand that from our point of view you are an experienced prop forward. Having already lost Eorl Crabtree it would be foolish of us to release you without an adequate replacement. Therefore, although we won't stand in your way, we would expect you to be professional enough to continue your commitments to this club as per the four year contract you signed just two years ago. Until such a time as we can put something in place regarding a replacement."

I wouldn't expect him to offload him with indecent haste and then release a statement that says that I have no idea what is going on at my club re personnell relationships and that i've yet again released a player in the full and frank knowledge that we haven't a replacement which just reinforces the aura of incompetency that surrounds me.

But maybe that's just me.

no surprise huby has gone, was rumours at the end of last season

glad to see the back of him as hes obviously unhappy at the giants and we dont need players like that as last season the culture at the club was rotten.

barring the odd good game huby has been a huge disappointment and injury prone

will be a big earner of the salary cap so give stone abit more money to play with, hope we get this wakeman in

the rumour huby was going has been around for a long while, come on dont be so naive

make an unhappy player stay?? what like we may do with wardle if we cant offload him too

Thank goodness people are starting to realise where the real problem lies at the Giants we are a shambles but you get criticism on here for pointing it out if Rick Stone avoids the drop he will be coach of the season!

All we want is signings, more and more. Signings are what were looking for

THEWLIS on Fire, Giants fans are terrified and THEWLIS on fire

Thewlis will be pleased his nonsense has worked on at least one person

Huby on twitter.....thank you for the Giants to allow me to have a fresh start....

Can't really say i'm surprise or shocked as he's not exactly been giving out signs of being truly happy here - Can't really blame him after what he has been through, COULD have been a loss to us if he found his Cas form but fitness and personal issues meant we never did.

If he was unhappy (with the new rigorous training he had to do) then fair enough we can't be carrying guys who cant be bothered putting the effort in.
He probably thought he won't be expected to do as much at Wakey !!.

either way i never had a problem with him, shame it didn't work out here.

"Until a few days ago'? We seem to have known on the Wakey forum for two weeks that he was coming. Knowing a player is not only leaving but knowing his destination too for a fortnight suggests that this was no recent thing.

Earl, will have to put his boots back on. As he was forced to retire he will jump to play again. I told you all on here 3 weeks ago,and Bilko question it, Huby to
Wakey. Had to laugh at Thewlis statement ,how does he get away with his lies ?????

Surely Ken Davy doesn't keep buying it!

Wouldn't be so bad if earl could. He said in an interview the surgery he needed to reconstruct the bridge of his nose required two metal tubes and this would mean any potential collision could cause major trauma. So that's a no go!

Ben Harrison on a 1 year loan deal would be good for the Giants. He was good in the 4 games he played for Trinity last season and is a genuine prop. If you get him and Wakerman then you'll have a competitive pack along with the other props you have....agree with others though Bailey surely is dropping down into the Championship as Mariano has done...

I would rather take Harrison over Bailey any day of the week.

The problem with this is he has got his testimonial with Warrington in January against us. So I presume he will be training with them until then, which means he will have spent all of pre season with Warrington and not us but at least he will be fit.

Unless we sign him and he plays for us against Warrington in his testimonial which benefits all parties. He will get to train with us immediately. He will still get his testimonial and Wire fans can give him a send off.

Cant see if happening though.

i expect to see some signings no doubt its just a shame this mamo deal has hit a glitch

surely the wakeman rumour must come in now!

we got rid of the conditioner this off season and brought someone new in, well done the club for doing this, just a shame davy didnt get rid of thewlis too which i pointed out at the end of last season too should happen.

i dont think signing harrison would be a good one either

getting abit late in the day to be doing deals for players... we would want them in for pre season and settled!

ferguson, clough, gaskell in maybe wakeman and mamo to follow.

dont forget brierley, symonds, ikahihifo and ormsby who came in back end of last season too though

Unless the testimonial is with us because that's who he will be playing for?!

I'd take Harrison. No nonsense forward who has played in some big games and will be on significantly less that crabtree and huby.

It would seem that you had quite a lot of unhappy players' last season that could not be bothered to put the effort in so why single him out.
Can't see where you draw the conclusion even with your vast knowledge of Wakefield Trinity that he would assume by coming to the Trin he would as you expertly put it be thinking he won't have to do as much

I meant this pre-season, under our new coach and conditioner, apparently they have had them really pushing it and Craig struggled to adapt to the extra physical stuff - like i said apparently.

Same old !, get pulled down if you don't follow the trend!
so sad to see what this forum has become
