According to today's Manchester Evening News

A shame as he's been a very reliable performer.

Giants certainly got the best of the Patrick swap deal.

Defensively he's been brilliant. In his first game he made a wonderful break- but unfortunately we didn't see him running those lines too much this season. We certainly did get the best deal from the swap- and I wonder exactly where that leaves larne -since he insisted on going- he may have burnt some bridges. We will miss Hughes' defence- and he's been a very consistent player for us- a shame he's moving on but it would be nice to have a second row who can offload or run a nice line in his place.

Been rumours about this for a while...

would have liked to see him stay, been very good for us, gets through alot of work and played alot of games.

ferres and wardle first choice 2nd rowers next season?

will be interesting to see if taai gets a new contract, think we need to try keep him if hughes goes

Was ok for us but i won't lose sleep, he wasn't our player to lose anyway.

I presume Larne is coming back

went well again for us lastnight, very consistent

if only he passed the ball out wide when he made a break and we could have been looking at 16-0 up... but once again we didnt take the chance..like at saints

I was actually disappointed with him last night and so were others around me...couldn't quite put my finger on it but he just didn't seem on the ball. Maybe it was cos he was playing against his mates ?

Sky seemed pretty sure that this was the case last night.

I agree, Giant Daz, I thought Hughes looked subdued last night. I didn't think he played badly but he did seem to have a quiet game. I can't say I'm disappointed we've not signed him - he's had a solid season, done a good job for us and I wish him luck at Warrington but I think we already have players as good as him and what we need to sign are players who improve the squad.

As i said on the other thread 38 tackles and 100 plus metres is not a quiet game. When Hughes made the break he was not in a position to pass as i though both Cudjoe and Mcgillivary were slow to back up in much the same way they seemed slow to chase back when Farrell scored although i am not saying they would have caught him they could have made a better effort.

Without wanting to dismiss 'stats', i think it was more a case of a visual lack of effort or so it appeared at times.

He looked to be working his socks. Scored a try that took some scoring and had a had a hand in a couple of others.

some people just see what they want to see sometimes, abit like lawrence who also goes under the radar

eveyone sees things different though

i thought taai was quiet compared to hughes lastnight but i think we was attacking that side more , hughes had a big say in our good start and also got that try in the second half

been better than ferres anyway

Taai was quiet on attack but he made two amazing try saving tackles.

confirmed in examiner today he is off back to wigan and expected to head to wire

cant fault his effort to the cause this season at all

I thought that was a better performance last night, two or three bad errors cost us the game, But for me it was a step in the right direction.

hughes said on friday night that nothing has been sorted yet about his future other than he will be going back to wigan

looks like patrick will be on his was back here, think if we lose taai we have to now

confirmed this morning.
done OK for us, is a good player and will probably do well at wire.

let's hope we get the old Larne back?

what the one who made a good break every now and then but often knocked on and was poor in defence and wouldnt say boo to a goose when it got tough... lack mongrel as it is in this team.

hopefully he has learnt alot at Wigan but doesnt seemed to have done much there as i expected.

not a fan of a player who wanted out then because he didnt make it comes back

done OK for us, is a good player and will probably do well at wire.

let's hope we get the old Larne back?'"

not official yet then

He's signed. for Wire.

He signed for Wire two months ago.

taai would like a new contract but seems the powers that be don't want to give him one so at the moment he doesnt know what he is doin he wants to stay and its not money maybe the club like to extend the contracts of them thats passed there sell by date

confirmed on Giants website is going to Warrington .

being closer to his home in wigan as the main reason for the move there, abit like kev brown who also wanted to move closer over to his wifes family.

cant argue with what thewis says about him being one of our top performers this season.

as for taai is abit strange if true that he would like a new deal, maybe the club have other ideas but he can cover prop and 2nd row... so can patrick though so maybe they are thinking about him returning.
