I love watching these battles of wits. I'm reminded of an episode of South Park called "Cripple Fight".

"W, w, w, Wow what a beautiful audience!"

was adeybull at the Galpharm earlier in the season amongst the 300 Bulls fans... there will be more giants fans than that amongst the Bulls £6 a ticket supporters......

actually bradford brought a load to the galpharm - our biggest attendance so far this year.

Think NB mentioned Ferguson picked up a bit of a knock last weekend, might benefit from a week off before the cup. Also don't think Raleigh would get in over Mason, Eorl, Griffin or Fa'alogo at prop.

Either way looks like the strongest side we've put out for a few weeks.

like the look of the team, alot better with 3 props on bench

robbo having to do 80mins then

Call it intuition but I get the feeling you have a thing for props.

where has ginger giants post gone?

is it not 3 posts above yours

no he did one late last night!!

If it was the last one on the thread he could have deleted it himself Mable. Was it funny?

I did, but erased it this morning as my point could have been quite easily misinterpreted/misconstrued and really needed rewording.

What I was basically asking is - what is the future for Andy Raleigh as, although he has been named in the 19, he doesn't seem to be able to break back into the squad this year. He played really well for us when in the second row. But since the forced move to prop has really struggled to hold his position; and now with Fa'alogo being moved to prop (another second rower) it doesn't really seem like he is going to get back in. Is he potentially going to end up moving on as it must be frustrating not getting a game, especially when you have been moved from your preferred position to fill a gap that isn't there any more.

I think that's a bit clearer?

I said at the start of the season that Andy was not going to be strong enough to get into the first team but was too good to be just a squad player. Unfortunately i think that has come true.

Andy has been one of my favourite players for years but i feel that his time at the Gants may be coming to an end. Whilst i would be sad to see that happen i think it may be the likely result.

Blame Canada...

one of our main strengths over the last few seasons has been our pack, win in the forwards and let the half backs do the rest

really important we keep this going but with griffin going it might not happen

It's a disaster,glad I had a good excuse to miss today.

Same story as Cas & Wakefield away at the moment. Can't play when it is raining!

Well I'm glad I am where I am and not there - failing to deliver yet again then...

Our forwards are getting smashed once again according to the comms.From being the strongest pack for many weeks we are now looking like the weakest of the top 4/5.They are 'spotting' Broughy in defence on his return.

No way back from this,I just can't see it.Jeez where has our form gone.

Is something going on behind the scenes or what? We're awful!

Dunno,it's a difficult one,give them contracts and the desire falls away,who knows.

Something's gone on in the last month, that's for sure.

Maybe they should have spent it training?

Good turnout today Giants. Cheers.
See ya next season.
