Yeah, lad puts his hand up and puts in the graft! Players that chase the work obviously love the game! Defo a fan favourite and would love him to be a lifer with us.

A lad that had a similar approach was Alex brown, think he was at batley, not sure where he is now!

Because we offered him a contract which ain't much more than what his on which ain't the biggest in our team, he feels we deserves more and we won't budge, same as ukuma really

McGillivray Is definitely a quality player, He is one of the Giant's players I would be really sorry to see go, But if one of the so called top clubs came in for him you could not blame him if he went.
How many people would not change companies to do the same job, for more money and a chance of bonuses'. No doubt there would be plenty of gnashing of teeth on here at whatever club took him, Not unlike at Wakey when we take their best players.

Hopefully It's all nothing, But the answer is to give our players a chance to win things and then we can be a top club as well.

i agree! as far as i know there is a contract offer for him but he isn't rushing into anything as yet, and probably rightly so, he has 12 months to sort his future out so let's leave him to concentrate on his game,
agree about the chanting, it's a bit disrespectful to players who are out of contract IMO

We should be breaking the bank to sign Jerry. He deserves to be one of our top earners because he has earned that right. If we end up losing him it will be criminal.

I'm pretty confident that he won't be asking for silly money.

Thought someone on here said his dad started the rumour at Newsome and it's spread like wildfire???

No doubt if he does decide to move on the naysayers will be claiming we "let" him go. Some players are one man clubs- others like a new challenge occasionally- and dare I say it the bigger chance to win silverware.
We can't pay everyone what they want due to the salary cap- folk moan that we don't make loads of big signings, we've signed hinchcliffe and rapira- but as a result those people will moan that we can't keep other players as we have only a certain amount of money to go round the rest.

And to add to what others have said- I think people should be more worried we lose Michael Lawrence - who is also off contract next year. The lad does nothing wrong- it's more likely he goes given he has improved going forward, tackles like a demon, rarely makes mistakes and rarely gives away penalties - but the minute ferres is fit he will be dropped like a stone.... Again...... He must be pretty fed up by now!

I was baffled by the chanting myself and one bloke i spoke to was adamant he was off at the end of this season and judging by the chants so did plenty others - i would hate to lose Jerry, he's my favourite player but if he decides he wants to move on then fair play to the bloke he's earned the right to leave this club as a bit of a legend !!

unless we did everything within our powers to keep him, which i'm pretty sure we will!

if Jerry leaves i hope it's because Jerry wanted to leave, to further his career if he thought he couldn't do that with us and not because the club didn't do enough to keep him

no doubt the whingers will still want PA sacked RT ran out of town and KD burnt at the stake though.. oh and that we sign Slater, Sam Burgess SBW ETC

so the club do want to sign him up... maybe the fans should start chanting for jerry to sign!

like others have said what about players like lawrence who are ooc at the same time and cudjoe too i think.

all abit premature

and we cant go breaking the bank for players, fans need to understand this important point....

we also have another winger who will be on a nice salary as he was one of the best wingers in sl at the time we signed him in broughton, could have given jerry more if we got that signing right

absolutely monstrous tonight! what a try and they looked petrified of him, on form he is as good as any winger in the country right now, and i have said it before and will say it again, would be pushing for international recognition if he didn't wear claret and gold

superb performance, but yet again the chants of sign him up, the contract is there for him!!

If we let Gerry go I'll question our ambition as a club

Unless we sign someone like Akila Uate or Manu Vatuvai

yeh the silly chants again lastnight



still got till 2016 and a contract ready for him to sign.upto him

"if we let Jerry go"

but what if Jerry wants to go? and despite the club doing everything they can he wants to leave, do we still call the club out for "letting him go"?

you can't keep players against their will.

We could always start slagging him off Mullally style.

Personally I don't get involved in the sign him up chants.

However I understand people's concerns.

Where has this 'there's a new contract waiting' come from? I haven't heard anything about it.

If Jerry was to decide to leave it would not be good for us as one of our own would be admitting that even he doesn't believe we can win anything.

or afford or be willing to pay him what he thinks he deserves.

the new contract thing came from someone "within the club"

If the club have come out and said "we will be negotiating with Jerry in the off season" I think a lot of fans would be happy with that. But as far as I know they haven't and that's what's worrying the fans.

If the club have done this I apologise in advance.

Hasn't he twelve months to go on his present contract?If so isn't it a little premature?

As far as i know the club haven't said anything, only Jerry in last weeks league express said he was undecided about his future, i guess until the club/and/or Jerry say anything different then he will be with us for next season and hopefully beyond!

When we were leaving after the match Gerry was being interviewed by some geezer from Radio Leeds, perhaps we will find out more in due course.
Any old hoo, I can't see him being happy to have to shell out the dosh buying petrol every week to travel to work over on the dark side.

Yes it is and there are far greater needs than worrying about whether Mcgillvrey will still be here after his contract runs out.

He is a good player and he is one of the few who have been steadily improving, But some people need to get things in perspective, A big percentage of his try's come from kicks, ( yes he comes up with an individual stunner now and then ) He often gains us very good field position, and he finishes well, but that what he is, he's a finisher.

What we need to be thinking about is a Starter, or more precisely a creator, Have people not noticed what a limited attacking side we are, We have one creative player, and if he doesn't fire , we don't fire for the most part.

Doesn't anyone care about getting a decent half to take the line on and take some of the onus away from Brough. People are starting to sweat over Mcgillvrey and he still has 12 months on his contract, and yet they have been putting up for years with mediocre and past their best players in the very positions that the whole attacking strategy should start.

I know Ellis was brought in and he does his best I'm sure but he doesn't have that spark and pace off the mark to get us where we want to be. In fact he would be a far better LF, It's time we had one who can handle a ball a bit and has some sort of kicking game, Bailey is due to go, and for me he has never hit the heights I was expecting.

In the so called vital positions for next year , we have sorted the Hooking role, and hopefully Leeming will learn massively from him, We have Brough, through which everything goes, We desperately need another half, and another fullback when Grix's contract expires, ( Simpson needs a year or two yet to learn his trade and get a bit of weight on )

So why the mad panic to get McGillvrey signed up , There are positions far more pressing than Wing.

All well and good but Jerry is a class act and even in 12 months will take some replacing as a winger of his quality will be hard to find !!

Wingers are a damn sight more plentiful than halves, But they are out there if whoever's job it is will put some effort into finding one.
