The fact that Anderson wasn't interested because he didn't sign Poore is pure speculation, I could quite easily speculate that it was due to the fact you needed 2 props and couldn't fit superstar Poore +another under the cap.
PS is George going to be likely to be playing against us? He scuppered my fantasy team last week by not playing - selfish sod!

| To be honest think George might have to sit out a few games as Murphy did well after a shakey start on Sat and can see him getting a run in the team especially as most of our attacking is through the middle and Murphys decent defence outweighs Georges pace and attacking flare at the moment.

1-17 the giants squad is better on paper
I certainly wouldn't swap a single one - and I'm a big fan of Raleigh and Kirmond personally

I agree as a team you are performing better than Wakefield but I'm not sure every single player is better than their Wakefield equivilant. We'll find out soon.
History favours you but I guess we'll see.

To be fair I do not think we are about individuals this season more about the system, players know their role and whoever fits in has stepped up and done their role well. The back of the scrum has been disrupted but as a unit the pack have stepped up in each game and to be honest that is far more important than if our player A is better than your player B.

A little thing called overseas quota might have dictated who you had to buy?

| Equally, to the other Wakefield fans, lets not argue about whether any of our team would get in theirs.....me included.
They will only try and sign them when they realise they are better players. Lets keep that a secret for a bit longer.

| Just had a quick look on their forum. That was a mistake
On the plus side they definitely wouldn't take:
Our England Knights winger, our international centre, stand off, hooker or props or back row.
We owe them one big time for last season

| To be honest we do not owe Wakefield anything they had the right attitude we did not give a toss....hopefully we will look back at such games as the bad old days but time will tell.

Perhaos you need to check facts before posting. We currently have two overseas players in our squad- (3 with LOD) chan was exempt from quota coming from crusaders.

Come now, there is only one poster saying they wouldn't have anyone from Hudds. FWIW, Giants obviously have a lot of quality but realistically the only swaps I'd make are probably Grix for Mathers, McGillvary for Fox and Robinson for Sykes though I suspect that would push our finances somewhat.
Think it could be a cracking match if Wakey bring their A game, just hope your lot don't get a couple of early scores and go on a rampage.

correct. The ex-Hull KR winger referred to is Ben Cockayne, as opposed to our other ex-Hull Kr winger.
BC is top metre maker this year and made 211 last week.
Rumour is that Lyne will miss the game and be replaced by Lee Smith

That is it i could not remember his name. Have to say i never particularly rated him. Always struck me as having the same attitude as Brent Webb.
I think that losing Lyne will be a blow for you as he seems to have been pretty effective.
