so thats 7 players that have now left from the squad- brown,gilmour,doof,peltier,walker,lee and moore- does that mean nobody else is leaving, my only worry if that is the case is only doof featured in last weeks game at hull, the others didnt figure at all, cant see how the mentality is going to change that much, 3 players in so far, one of which played at hull in ferres, who i think is a good signing, ta'ai and mullally, think we must have scope to bring in a few more top players, i hope so anyway.

We also have Johnson to replace peltier, Lunt will replace lee, Ta'ai to replace doof, mullally replaces walker, ferres instead of Gilmour, we always did have too many hookers so Moore doesn't need a replacement! Arguably ferres could be a LF replacement for brown rather than gilly.
I can't see us getting gale now, if the kopzcak thing is true then we replace gilly (played as prop) with him.
Better replacements for mine.

wouldnt worry about Crabtree and Brough we are linked to just about every player in Super league. Cannot see Crabtree leaving at all

Moore - waste of space as a human being tbh - twitter followers will know what a bottom feeder he really is.

Lee - a pity. Talented.

Walker. More playing time for Fairbanks next year. Other than wrist injury why did fairbanks not get more sl time ? Just a tackling machine in the first quarter of the season.

Doof. Someone told me he only missed 3 nrl games in 3 previous seasons before he came to giants physio table. On his day destructive in defence and able to punch holes in defences. Too few days unfortunately. But departs with my best wishes and a stick of rock.

Yes, NB!

Yes Daz you are missing the point of the order of events.
Lunt was dropped. Lee took his spot. Lee played well so rightly did not get dropped. Lee and robbo played hooker. Lunt wanted game time so asked to be moved on. He got a season long loan at Leeds. Then lee got injured- Lunt couldn't be recalled under the terms of the loan so THEN a replacement for lee was required. Ironically if lunt had held on a couple more weeks he'd have been back in!

Only by a day but you signed Moore before letting Lunt leave? (Makes sense).

The Robinson rumour has been about at Widnes quietly but would personally doubt anything is concrete there. Though Anderson does seem to like Faiumu permanently at 9?

Robbos dad told me that widnes enquired about him. Request turned down.

I've already posted that Robbo himself said [at HGSA meeting he'd had weekly approaches from Widnes and ALWAYS turned them down. "I'm committed to Huddersfield" he said.

Robbo is highly unlikely to go to any club coached by Denis Betts, I believe Robbo's own words were along the lines of "why would he want to play for the guy who dumped him from Wigan".

I am sure I read that Robbo said that at the HGSA, I certainly read it somewhere, Ivor would know.

ah someone else can see sense!

Was a bit of chatter he wanted the same £ as Brown which was rejected by Widnes. May explain 'weekly approaches' I guess.

Fairbank has been injured.

seems anderson wanted to keep lee. but we offered him peanuts so he went elsewhere.

Some of the stuff on here really makes me chuckle.

Anderson has said he wants to strengthen down the middle and half backs

Kopczak HAS signed for US, its just waiting to be announced.

We will be getting one other prop or large 2nd row as well

We looked at seymour from Hull but he failed his medical, possible move for chase with him and faiumu best of mates and us having a quota spot left?

Yep, you're right.

Wouldn't touch Chase with a barge pole. We've just got rid of one unsettling element, we don't want another.

good news on kopczak

im happy with how things are shaping up

such a shame the seymour coup didnt come off



keep looking anderson!!! take a punt if need be

crabtree saying we need some experience in the team too so i expect an older head to join us too

on moore it seems hes off to play for north queensland cowboys feeder club.. jason demetriou will be the coach

Thats part of my point, why not just bring Lunt back if we needed someone?

because the terms of the loan agreement didnt allow us to do that

fair enough, just seemed a bit backward to me

Not sad to see Moore go at all. He was given his chance and did nothing.
I thought Lee did ok, I thought his kicking in particular was under-used and under-valued but at the end of the day we want better than ok.
I thought Doof was outstanding (when he played) during his first season. I remember one huge hit he put in against Hull under their posts during a home game where we were losing and struggling which turned the game completely. However, since then he's struggled for fitness and consistancy so I think it's the right time to wish him all the best for the future.

new physio appointed - hope that helps ith future injuries!

Scott Moore's only gone and got himself a gig at North Queensland Cowboys...

Thats been sorted a while John- he leaves next week.

yep we knew this but now confirmed, good luck to him, great deal too to go and play in the NRL...got so much talent just needs to knuckle down and concentrate on rugby, shame it didnt work out on his second stint for us.
