Crikey all very positive about the Giants and what a success story we are from laughing stock, relegation, 4 seasons in a row at the bottom, lots of praise for KD, and the current coaching staff and team.

All now tipping us for the LLS only Stevo going for us to lift the SL title though.

Stevo changes his mind about us from one week to the next!

Phil Clarke still boringly predictable in his Sky Column

[iI've left the most obvious for last. Huddersfield Giants are the ones who are tired of being told that they' choke' in pressure games.

Their supporters say that I never praise them or say anything positive about them. Well, here goes - they have got no chance in the play-offs! Prove me wrong![/i

Get this pinned up in the dressing room!

What a cock Phil Clarke is. What an absolute cock.

I thought he had disappeared off the face of the earth at 9.10pm last Friday night

How many times did he mention Tomkins?
He even did it in the derby - started off talking about Shaul, somehow ended up talking about golden boy! Nearly fell off my ladder laughing!

I'd take Clarke and Rod Studd seriously if they had anything sensible to say............................unfortunately....

Loving it, not sure Wigan are the team either Phil, if we choke it will be Leeds or Wire, Wigan have failed to beat any of the top 4.

He did highlight, only 1 Wigan player achieved no missed tackles and the team racked up 34 against us, that's got to improve and by a long way, Phil!

This year I would have been excited to have finish in the top six and get to a quarter final. Andersons first proper year, New team philosophy and after the collapse last year. However even if we finished out of the 8 I would have been there supporting the lads because they are my team playing my chosen sport!
Think its bloody hilarious now, pundits and fans alike falling over themselves with praise or excuses. Let them say what they want we will take the praise but as fans only our opinions count, play like they are and we will always be there.....hopeful it means we can convert some more to a brilliant sport and one hell of a team!

Why does everyone keep saying Wigan have failed to beat any of the top four? Just cause the two clowns at sky keep repeating it doesn't make it true! They beat Leeds at magic weekend.

Sorry, that what we get taking our information from Eddie Hemmings.

Leeds have only just got into the top 4

I know- big improvement for them this season

Yeah forgot about the MW so fair enough they have 1 game out of a possible 6 against a top 4 team, with the game against Leeds to come.

impressive

And their fans have a topic discussing whether they should take our threat seriously...

Cue the barrage of "End of season", "big games", "means nothing", "when it counts" comments.

and they don't have any fans line......

Yes I watched it too and thought some of the citings of our position in the late 90's and turn of the century to where the club is now, was really good and puts into perspective what Ken Davy has done for this club.

Mentioned lots of youth team players coming through to the senior team, and no over reliance on overseas players.

the team that played wigan was 14 yorskhiremen and one cumbrain i think. (faiumu and chan the overseas)

no chance? if we lose both our games then i suppose he is right... if we reach the final then he needs to give us a big apology!

Hi all,

Been a while since I posted on here...

Just reading about the comments about Phil Clarke... I read the whole report differently...

Earlier in his article he said this...

"There's a powerful motivation to being told that you 'cannot do it'. Nobody, myself included, believed that Leeds could win the Grand Final from fifth spot."

So when he says this..

"they have got no chance in the play-offs! Prove me wrong!"

He is wanting to give us the best motivation possible?

May just be me...

Cheers

Actually that's the way I saw it too - have spoken to Phil previously and believe it or not he really does like us!

Exactly how I read it also, that he wants to 'give us the motivation', not that he actually thinks we have no chance.

have to say when ive heard him talk about the Giants in the past he has always been positive too

Kind of how I read it to be honest.

I also remember him on several occasions saying he enjoyed watching the Giants because of the brand of rugby they play.
