our one fans coach has sold out

Yep brearley-grix named in the squad. That's coach number 4 now. How can all those qualified coaches get it wrong??? Wardle symonds and Jerry still not back. Our prop situations is massively improved though! Eorl huby Rapira JJ Mason ikahihifo all named. www.giantsrl.com/news/article/55 ... -squad-for

I think we'll probably line up like;

Gaz Obrien
Carney
Sau
J.Griffin
Mason Catob-Brown
Lui
Dobson
Kopczak
Tomkins
G.Griffin
Jones
Murdoch Masila
Flanaghan

Hauraki
Mateo
Burgess
Kenny

I imagine we will go
Grix / brierley (be interesting!)
Ormsby
Cudjoe
Connor
Murphy
Brough
Ellis
Eorl
Hinchcliffe
Huby
Taai
Roberts
Lawrence

Woody
Rapira
Ikahihifo
JJ/Mason

That's as strong a bench as we've had this season!

Just hope Stone cold Rickster, has realised in his short time that SL is a total different game from NRL. I think Kelly moved us in the right direction with his selections,but couldn't get us defending our goal line well enough for long enough.

same team that played wire but with grix at full back for brierley,id go

grix
ormsby
cudjoe
connor
murphy

brough
hinchcliffe
ellis

rapira
huby
ikahiifo
lawrence
taai

bench-
wood
crabtree
mason
roberts



didnt enjoy watching ikahifio in defence in the pack, flat footed and sidestepped by wire far too easily (abit like mason)

Sebastian I a prop , or a second row really imo?

2nd row for me off the bench impact

No doubt with a 'no fancy stuff' instruction to him from Rickster.

Grix WILL play at FB for this game. That's coach number 4......

Like that woman used to say on TV 'let's have a heated discussion' ........... on second thoughts let's not bother



4 coaches filled already,that's good going.



Big game this for both sides.Whoever loses,the pressure will come down on straightaway.

James Child is our referee

After a dire season so far the middle 8's is a gift for the club! A fresh start level pegging with 7 other teams. The beginning is forgotten the next 7 games are massive go out and do the job the general outlook will be an exciting one for next year. The boys need to get this done

aye mr childs makes a return today

Had I not already bought my ticket I might have stayed at home.

Not match fit, good for at least a six point give away everybody complains about players coming straight back but ........... And his line entry and passing is almost none existent the bookies should add another 6pts to the handicap !!

No Jerry or Tom but great Grix is back

Standby - she'll be back on here fairly soon

In terms of fitness ive heard that Grix is one of the fittest at the club from a cardio point of view.
Clearly you see something different to those 2 British and 2 NRL coaches who pick him over the alternatives we've had available.

Grix has missed a LOT of this season

Our defence has been abysmal most of this season

Coincidence?

Grix, Ormsby, Cudjoe, Connor, Murphy, Brough, Ellis, Rapira, Hinchcliffe, Huby, Ta'ai, Lawrence, Ikahihifo - K.Wood, Roberts, Crabtree, Mason

Salford - O'Brien,Carney,Sau,J.Griffin,Caton-Brown,Lui,Dobson,Kopczak,Tomkins,G.Griffin,Mateo,M. Masila,Flanagan - Hauraki,Krasniki,Burgess,Kenny

Disastrous start

Rickster obviously learned all he knows from NB who will probably end as the coach of 'one of the worst-performed teams in the past 50 years of NRL'

Surely you would've been better appointing someone over here who knows what to expect, as opposed to bringing over an average nobody.

Seems like Rickster has reverted to selections that led us to the bottom of the table.His half time talk needs to be a thing of brilliance.

Nugget commentator calls us claret & amber

Seems I should seek a new career in Rugby League. His error and the subsequent early try set the tone but then again you and the coaches know best Jools

what a shocking start to a game from us, game was over after 20mins

first ball we get grix knocks on and gets injured, why it took so long for stone to sub i dont know, he could hardly walk!

then we knocked on twice, threw a pass into touch on the next 3 times we got the ball, gave pens away and tries!

awful , how can they not be up for this game, credit to salford i suppose who prob should not even be in the middle 8's with the 6 point deduction they had.

hopefully mcgillvary and symonds back next week and we can finally get a win on the board

when did he learn from brown? they havent worked together
